The charges date all the way back to July 22, 2007, when NYC police pulled over the rapper's tour bus because they said they smelled pot.

He'll still have to face the music on felony drug and more weapons charges in March 2010 in Arizona, after cops found 105 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine, 41 grams of ecstasy, various drug paraphernalia and a handgun on his tour bus in 2008.
