Sources say that based on a deal that Universal Records has struck with Sendapackage.com (on online company that allows friends and family members to purchase care packages for their loved ones that are incarcerated in the state of New York). This deal has Universal Records creating cassette tapes of popular old and new tunes. The word is that there will be tapes of Jay-Z’s music and B.I.G.’s. This is a deal that will allow inmates to have access to music of all sorts, because the “music players” that they have access to are cassette players or radios.

Sendapackage, also spoke with L.O.X member and underground dominator, Jadakiss concerning the deal.
“Big shout out to Universal for that [deal with Sendapackage.com], and definitely a big shout out to all the correctional facilities,” Jada said. “That’s one of my biggest markets. I make a lot of music for the inmates, so it’s beautiful that they’re able to get it on cassette and really absorb and listen to it…I’m sending packages [to inmates] all the time. Sometimes it’s difficult ‘? they send third parties to get the money, and sometimes you get up in jail and some things can’t get accepted, this and that – there’s always a lot of discrepancies…Sendapackage makes everything much easier.”

    hopefully the young'ns getting locked up will listen to some good hip hop whilst doing their jail time, instead of listening to lil wayne and wacka, thats schitt will only be making them even more ignorant...

    Uhh okaaaay..yeah jail ? listening to ? tales has to be good.

    I dont think hip-hop is what they should be concerned with when they locked up. That shold be their least worries.

    You must not have ever been locked up or know somebody that has been. It's not always like Hollywood makes it out to be.

    Prison dudes ain't checkin 4 Wayne. Wayne's body is way too tight. Like his skin is too tight, which means all his muscles shows and he aint flexible. ? him would be like ? ol dude on Pulp Fiction.

    But when you look at someone like Prince...uhm. Nice skin, light, feminine, wears heels with the ass out, skinny but still got curves and flesh on him.

    Plus he look like he could do a split in a birthday suit with the finger in his mouth and the ? out smellin like potpurri. His skin is soft and nice for a man in his 50s so that means he takes ? on his face. So he's a freak.

    So all the Wayne jokes ya'll got aint hittin licks.

    What the ? jo... Scust

    Exactly. This business transaction is a useful tool for helping inmates remain ignorant and locked in the system.

    I hope they get some Pac, Goodie Mob and other socially conscious music. Otherwise this seems like a trap.
