B****A**ness Alert- 50 Cent

Two quarters is mad at Alicia Keys for her comment in Blender Magazine. Curtis had this to say about Alicia Keys and her thoughts on gansta rap.

What did you think of Alicia Keys’ comments regarding gangsta rap in Blender?
50 cent: I don’t like Alicia Keys no more.
She clarified the comments, though.
50 cent: If she thinks what they consider [to be] gangsta music is [made] to bring black people down then I think my sh*t falls into that category. I don’t like people who don’t like me. I don’t like her then because that’s what provides the life for me. I think if you ask Ice Cube the same shit, he’ll tell you, “F*ck Alicia Keys” for even saying that. Because the success he’s had as an actor and a businessman, there was no opportunity for that sh*t without N.W.A. But I don’t think that [her] classical sh*t is cool. I don’t give a f*ck if you can classically play the piano. I haven’t been classically trained, because my upbringing, nobody put me in front of a piano at that time. If they did, I would know how to do it as well as she does. I could learn how to play the piano if I was passionate about it right now. That’s obviously my perspective evaluating what she does, and I could f*ck*ng care less about the sh*t. So she don’t like the music that embodies the harsh realities because they’re not her realities. She hasn’t been subjected to the same things.

B****A**ness Alert!!- Fake Crime doesn’t pay, A-”Con”

Yeah you SHOULD feel “Konvicted”!

Diddy was right, Bitchassness is a disease affecting our community and Akon is the newest victim. This dude has faked his jail time! You know how he supposedly went to prison for 3 whole, horrible years filled with violence and moments that inspired his hit song “Locked up.” Well turns out that’s a big fat lie!!

MC Cosby??? Bill Cosby makes Hip Hop CD

Stop! Collaborate and Listen, Cosby’s back with a Brand new mission

Bill Cosby is releasing a rap album, filled with positive lyrics and whatnot called “Cosby Narratives Vol. 1: State of Emergency.” He’s not actually rapping but he’s enlisted the help of some unnamed MC’s to carry out the CD’s anti-profane message.
Bill Cosby’s very public disdain for all things hip hop is what makes this an “ironic” situation but he’s trying to reach a new audience (probably the lower economic blacks that he talked about in 2004)

14-year old Sues 50 Cent,Tony Yayo and a Whole bunch of other people

A 14-year old boy is suing 50 Cent, Tony Yayo ,Universal Music Group (That includes Emimem’s Shady Records, G-Unit and Interscope Records), Violator management and Violator CEO Chris Lighty.
The suit was filed yesterday by the young man and his mother. In March of 2007, the James Rosemond was allegedly walking down the street when Tony Yayo, his employee Lowell Fletcher and two other men assaulted him for wearing a shirt that said “Czar Entertainment” (Czar Entertainment currently manages The Game. Former G-unit member; current G-Unit rival.) It also doesn’t help that the boy’s father owns the management company.
Young James and his mom are suing because they believe that the record labels encourage rappers to behave violently.

“The members of G-Unit, including defendants Yayo and 50 Cent, encouraged, sanctioned, approved and condoned its members threatening violence, and or engaging in violent acts in furtherance of its business,” the lawsuit said. The attack on Rosemond was intended to “promote and maintain Yayo and 50 Cent’s ‘gangsta’ image,” which was “promoted, marketed and advertised” by record labels.- EUR Web

Yayo, whose real name is Marvin Bernard, pleaded guilty to harassment in February and was sentenced to 10 days of community service. Fletcher pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of a child and was sentenced to nine months in jail. The child’s mother saiys that even though they admitted guilt, no one has bothered to apologize to her son.

WOW! We hit kids over shirts now? It must be hard to feel like you have to question and prove your manhood all of the time. Surely that’s the underlying reason for 4 grown men assaulting a 13 year-old because you don’t like his shirt.
