G. Dep Says He Is “Happy” With His Prison Sentence For 1993 Murder

    In 2010, the world of Hip Hop was shocked to learn that G. Dep confessed to the murder of a man during a botched robbery attempt dating back to 1993. Now, in a recent interview with New York Magazine, the former Bad Boy rapper talks about life in prison since his 15-years-to-life sentence.

    Surprisingly, Dep said that he was “happy” with the conviction, explaining that living with the guilt of the murder was unbearable. He added that while he doesn’t believe that serving time over 17 years after the murder took place won’t bring his victim back, it was just something he had to do before he moved on in life.

    “I was happy,” he said. “It sounds crazy to say you were happy about getting a fifteen-to-life sentence, but I was. It just seemed to me like the end of a nightmare. I was living in 1993 for seventeen years…It wasn’t something I was going through periodically; it was something that was like a knot at all times. Sometimes I didn’t even want to walk with my head up. I just wanted to look down. If I stood up, I felt funny, like, ‘Who am I to be looking up?’ ”

    He added, “I don’t know how me being incarcerated—I can’t measure how much it makes anything any better. But I just know what I had to do.

    1. Well it’s not like he has a career anymore. Fifteen years, but his conscience can help him sleep better. Way to go G Dep.

    2. I respect him for this. He is on a higher spirutual level then most of us. I respect him for this. This is important.

    3. Man i respect this dude, everybody wanta call him stupid but at the end of the day, if it was you father, son, brother, uncle that was killed you will like to know who did it and why, and it just not easy walking around knowing you killed a man for no reason, dude did the right thing.

    4. This is why all of that Killer talk in rap music is senseless. I have family members that have served decades in prison for murder, & they regret it everyday. They all wish they could take it back. Death is not a game, nor is it cool.

      1. god will judge u 4 being a sinner whatever it is right. so u too will be judge right. at least he owe up to his crime. some of u commenting on this site are seriously ignorant. by the way i don’t believe in god and it is an excuse that some of u ignant niggas used to justified everything

    5. HE IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST JACKASS IN THE GAME, HE SNITCHED ON HIMSELF (LOL), HE AIN’T EVEN KNEW HE KILLED HIM AND NOW HE IS HAPPY LOSING 15 YEARS OF HIS LIFE. THE JAIL WON’T CHANGE SHIT, HE WILL LIVE WITH GUILT FOREVER, 15 YEARS IN JAIL WILL MAKE HIM HOMOSEXUAL (MAYBE HE IS, THAT’S WHY HE WANTS TO STAY THERE FOR SUCH A LONG TIME).

      1. You’re a jackass. How can you comment on the mind set of another man without walking in his shoes? You have no idea how he felt so you should keep your stupid ass comments to yourself.

      2. ^^^^ nah man. Im just saying dude. But if you wanna put it that way. EVERYONE has a little racism in them. I HAVE BLACK FRIENDS O.O haha!
