A Georgia judge has thrown the book at PeeWee Roscoe for firing shots at 2 of Lil Wayne's tour buses in April 2014.
Wayne had just finished performing at an Atlanta club and his entourage was headed back to his hotel when the shooting took place.
None of Wayne's crew suffered injuries, but Roscoe, real name Jimmy Carlton Winfrey, was arrested shortly afterwards.
Roscoe pleaded guilty to 6 of the 27 counts brought against him. All were gang related charges, according to TMZ. He must serve 10 years in prison, followed by 10 years of probation.

Missy Elliot recently released “WTF (Where They From).” The single marks the official return of an artist the game has sorely missed over the last decade.
The 44-year old Virginia native covers the latest issue of Billboard. In her interview with the publication she explains that she has been working since the release of her 2005 album, "The Cookbook."
Writing and producing for other artists has kept her busy. She also has a vault full of her own unreleased songs.
“If I wanted to do The Missing Files of Missy Elliott, I have probably six albums just sitting there,” she said, before explaining her hiatus. “People hadn’t realized that I haven’t just been an artist, I’ve been a writer and a producer for other artists. When you’re writing that much, your brain is like a computer. You have refresh it.”
The artist born, Melissa Arnette Elliott, says she's now ready to tour and plans on releasing a new album next year.
“I’ve done mad shows, but my last amazing tour was me, Beyoncé and Alicia [Keys, in 2004]. I’d love to do one with B.” And when will the album be out? “I want to say 2016 but I don’t want to give a time. Nowadays you say a time, they’ll stone you.”
Five rappers have made it onto Billboard's'Greatest Of All Time Hot 100 Artists' list. Based on the number of hits they have compiled, the artists should come as no surprise.
How it works:
These all-time rankings are based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 (from its launch on Aug. 4, 1958 through Oct. 10, 2015) and Billboard 200 (from Aug. 17, 1963 — when we combined our two leading pop album album charts for stereo and mono releases into one all-encompassing weekly chart — through Oct. 10, 2015). Titles are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower rungs earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted differently to account for chart turnover rates over various periods. Artists are ranked based on the combined point totals, as outlined above, of all their Hot 100 or Billboard 200 chart entries.
Take a look at the rappers who made the list below.
50 Cent has a gift for hip hop fans as the holiday season begins. The music mogul just announced via Instagram that his highly anticipated project, "The Kanan Tape," EP will arrive on Thanksgiving Day, November 26th.

D12 has been with Eminem since the beginning of his career, which they spoke about during an exclusive interview with VladTV. The Detroit emcees shared stories about being in the studio while Em recorded his first project, "Infinite," and Kuniva spoke specifically about working on track, "Open Mic."
Speaking more about the album, the guys of D12 spoke about its poor reception, and Bizarre revealed that Eminem spoke about retiring if he didn't place well at the Rap Olympics. The Detroit spitter ended up getting second place at the contest, and after Eminem called Bizarre with the news that he caught the attention of Dr. Dre, the D12 emcee told us that he quit his job.
D12 would later go on to work with Dr. Dre, whom the group said treated them like his own artists, which you can hear more about in the clip below.

Admitted pedophile Jared Fogle is in an Indianapolis courtroom today awaiting sentencing. The former Subway spokesman pleaded guilty to child pornography and sex charges.
In a bizarre attempt to have his sentenced reduced, his lawyers brought forth a sexual behavior expert, who testified that Fogle has an eating disorder, which was cured when he lost 245 lbs while on a diet of Subway sandwiches. However, once he lost the weight he developed compulsive hypersexuality disorder, according to TMZ.
Reuters reports that12 victims of child pornography were discovered in Fogle's home state of Indiana, along with two teenage victims of child prostitution in New York.
Federal prosecutors have requested that Fogle spend 12-and-a-half years in prison and be under lifetime supervision.
Once out of prison, he would be required to register as a sex offender in any state where he worked or lived.
**UPDATE**
Judge Tanya Walton Pratt has handed down a sentence of 15 years and eight months in prison for Jared Fogle. He could have been hit with a 50-year bid.
"The level of perversion and lawlessness exhibited by Mr. Fogle is extreme," Pratt said, according to the Associated Press.
Pratt Fogle recommended that Fogle receive sex offender treatment in prison. He'll serve his time if a federal prison in Littleton, Colorado, that specializes in such treatment. Fogle also has to submit to a lifetime of post-prison supervision and pay a $175,000 fine.

Producer/rapper Mannie Fresh is preparing to release a new EP titled "We Got This" on December 4th. Check out his new collaboration with Juvenile, "Energized." Let us know what you think by sounding off in the comment section below.
Win or lose, Ronda Rousey, was planning on taking some much needed time off after UFC 193. It's now mandatory. The organization has suspended her for six months for medical reasons.
After being knocked out in the second round by Holly Holm, Rousey was immediately taken to the hospital. UFC President Dana White said she would be having plastic surgery to repair her split lip.
It's now obvious that her injuries were more serious, although the UFC has not revealed the extent of them.
The former bantamweight champion is not allowed to fight on her own time for 60 days, can have no contact for 45 days and is prohibited from an official fight for 180 days (or earlier if cleared by a negative head CT scan).
Jose Aldo
UFC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo told MMAFighting.com that he believes Rousey's fighting career is over.
"I think it’s really hard for her to return to fighting," Aldo said. "Her career has taken a different direction. If I’m making a lot of money doing movies or something else, I’d go that direction too. Am I going to mess my face up getting punched in the face? You’re crazy [laughs]. In my opinion, I don’t think (she fights again). If she comes back, of course she can (win the title). She was always a fighter, but if I were her, I wouldn’t come back.
"I see this as Gina’s situation," said Aldo, comparing Rousey’s loss to Cris Cyborg’s win over Gina Carano at Strikeforce. "Gina was a great fighter and went her way to become an actress after she lost to Cyborg, and she’s getting more attention than if she was still fighting. No diet, not getting punched in the face, nothing."
"I think the legacy Ronda leaves behind is that she changed women’s MMA," Aldo said. "She put it where no one ever imagined, where even Dana White said it would never be, and it is now. That’s her legacy. She has done a lot for women’s sport."
