Former Roc-A-Fella executive Kareem “Biggs” Burke pleaded guilty earlier today to drug charges stemming from an arrest in 2010.
According to Courthouse News Service (via HHW), Burke pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute more than 100 kilograms of marijuana. The 38-year-old faces at least five years in prison.
In addition to his impending prison sentence, Burke must surrender his $660,000 home in Bergen, New Jersey, $15,000 cash from his residence and his 2010 BMW. He will be sentenced on May 18th.
Burke was originally arrested with at least 50 others in late 2010 during a drug bust. At least 10 of the arrested patrons in the drug trafficking ring have pleaded guilty.

foolish nigga
Five years in the hole for selling marijuana? Seems harsh.
I agree but it ain’t “just selling” it’s distrubution of it. Not only that but it’s 100 grams. I’m with you though a nigga like this will do 5 years for some damn weed while all these rapist, child molesting ass abusers or what have you out here doing like 6 months for their shit.
Meant 100 Kg. That’s alot.
out in cali the most youll do is 6 months for that shit
I agree that’s alot of activity, especially when you consider the money being made off it. I just wonder why law enforcement doesn’t go after the coke & heroin dealers this hard.
Needless to say, he did the right thing. He’s probably gotten money stashed in different spots with different places and different people.
The fed system works on how much money you can give them to how much time you will get reduced. The more you give up, the better you sentence will be relatively speaking. He gave up a gang of ish… he gets 5 while pleading. Also helped him that this was weed and not coke. He’s looking at an automatic 10 if it was coke.
Gets 5, he has to do the bare minimum of 4. He’ll still be out by 42 which isn’t bad relatively speaking.
And yes…the “war on drugs” is the biggest fallacy and fraud going.
N****z don’t be lying when they say, “if the rap game don’t work out, it’s back to them thangs”….CTFU!!!….Hold ya head folk, you be out in no time.
i’m surprised jay-z hasn’t been blamed for this. lol
Come on. 200 pounds of Mexican garbage. You would been better off getting your own hoses. Which you could have easily afforded and grew 50 pounds of Dro. You would have made the same money and the feds would have never known.
This wasn’t mexican garbage. This was high grade from florida. The boss got tapped in florida and they took everyone down with him.
this is just so damned stupid and illustrates what is wrong with today’s hip-hop and urban culture. This guy should have made enough money from selling his stake in Roc-A-Fella to live off that, or make legitimate corporate investments. But of course, homeboy goes the dope smuggling route. Classic black man move. Bravo, Kareem, you just set the race back another few decades. your attorneys’ kids and grandkids have their college funds and trust funds on lock. What about yours?
LMFAO!!!!!!
Whew!!! LMAO
What more needs to be said, king…
Well put and bluntly stated I couldn’t agree more. How could you not be chilling off Rocafella buyout money?
Some people are just willing to take the risk of jail time in order to live the best life.
When this shit becomes a reality in your world and your connected with certain individuals who have acheived some amount of success, and are on a seemingly good but quick path, and experienced some of the glamourous side of this life style
Would turn it down, probably wouldn’t be as easy as you think.
where is Jay Z at?
lol @ the name kareem
It’s inevitable jay z’s name would be mentioned by a motherfucker cause dude was wit roc but that don’t got Shit to do with that man he shouldnt have to pay Shit he made his mothafuckn bed now he’s waking up next to hard legs.it ain’t a rap thou.
It’s deeper than rap!!!!!!
The guy never left the streets even in the Rocafella heydays…he’s just a street dude, making street money, ending up with street related problems. Life is about choices and he made one….Keep your head up!
@hypestyle : black move….hummm hummm….Bill Clinton was smuggling D in Alabama and he was involved into politics, Coca Cola- Coke is bringing tons every year….black move?????
THANK YOU!!! I called hypes ass out for the same thing, he says typical like thats all we are known for. Damn trick knowledge is alive in well…DEATH TO ALL HOUSE NIGGAS!
I don’t give a damn what Bill clinton did or coca cola executives. The point is, black/latino men, what the hell are YOU going to do, when the cops/feds come knocking at your door?
Shut the hell up you dumb mother*****– I suppose the Enemy truly has us defeated when have black people been pu***fied to the point where we can’t even make call dumb **** dumb **** anymore? What the **** happened to common sense? Why does it have to boil down to being on some bourgie-player-hater house n-word ish for simply pointing out that a ni***a done fu**ed up in the game where he was already stacking cheddar from legitimate business? Why can’t certain black men give up “the hustle”, even when it is conducive to their own survival to give it up? Every time somebody black goes out and does something blatantly reckless and/or criminal, you have the apologists coming out of the woodwork Go to blazes, you damned morons. This is why our culture doesn’t advance. Not me, You..
real gangsta. mad respect. fuck Jay-Z! swag

I know right where can you conspire to sell 100 keys and only risk 5 years….snitchlanta!!! They giving niggas a quarter century for a quarter key. BIGS never talked in the videos or interviews but now im sure he droppin dimes to DA for a nickel.
