50 Cent’s Death Wish!

50 Cent: Maybe I’ll just go mess with Bernie Goetz

Gangsta rapper 50 Cent (Fiddy) is proud of his swiss cheese torso and he seems hell bent on getting more holes in it to improve his image. A couple years ago, he tried to provoke Ja Rule to help him out by dissing Ja’s rap, his mama and even his baby mama. (And, them is real fighting words!) But instead of shooting bullets at Fiddy, all Ja did was shoot off his big mouth.

Now it seems Fiddy has chosen a rapper in his own G-Unit called The Game to do the deed. But even before Fiddy could set the stage for this new provocation on the radio last week, bullets came flying at him and his crew from, reliable sources say, The Game himself. And no, he was not playing. People got hurt; even though Fiddy’s wish did not come true…that night. Suffice it to say that he and The Game are no longer homeboys…

Marketing hype or just ambition in a thug’s life?

    Hype hype and all hype. The important item that most reports do not mention is that “Fiddy’s” new album dropped last week. If we have learned nothing from the Paris Hilton event awhile back, or the Oscars last week, it’s all about the numbers. Controversy, and apparently bullets, sell quite well. Grand Theft Auto anyone….More Rage in NJ
