Why Do We Celebrate Hip-Hop's Hoodlums?

Free T.I., Free Lil Wayne, Free Gucci Mane, Free Waka Flocka, Free G Dep, Free Shyne, Free Prodigy, Free Slick Rick, Free Lil Kim, Free Foxy Brown. I think you get the idea!

But, I'm kinda confused. Why are we always trying to free criminals just because they can spit on a mic? What about the REAL innocent men and women in jail that shouldn't be? Why aren't we protesting their release? Better yet, why, if you or I, commit the same kind of crimes these rappers did, we, as a people, don't cry for justice for ourselves the way we stand up for these lyricists, oh wait, Waka Flocka is listed here, uh, artists?
