They do, they get criminal records for life. They blow their short time on fame or drugs, and are back in the projects, back on social programs. Get a real education, get a real job.

I think it's an interesting point that not all rappers become famous superstars, and the majority of people that do adopt that lifestyle end up living a far less glamorous existence.

But I think what the asker is trying to get at is that, if you're living in the projects and get pulled over with a few grams of marijuana for personal use, you're likely to be arrested and charged.

But rappers like Snoop Dogg or Wiz Khalifa get away with openly smoking weed in music video and on stage with no police action taken against them.

Here's the video for "Smokin good" as an example:

What does this say to people? That as long as you're famous, you can break the law with impunity? Personally I think this pretty much sums up how hypocritical and flawed the war on drugs is.
