I find that extremely out of character--especially for someone so closely associated with Eminem. It turns out that 50 Cent called into the the "Miss Jones in the Morning" radio show on Hot 97 yesterday about the Tony Yayo case. A member of 50's G-Unit crew, Tony was taken into custody by police after an alleged assault on the teenaged son of Jimmy (Henchmen) Rosemond. Rosemond is considered a music industry rival for Fitty and his crew and the attack took place last month in Manhattan. According to the New York Daily News, this was was 50 Cent had to say on the morning radio show about Yayo's upcoming legal battles:
But then he added, "Worry about the Je-Je-Je-Jew unit. They're the real goon squad. When the lawyers come out, you'll see what it is. I don't pay nobody. I only pay the lawyers."Fitty said neither he nor Yayo had anything to do with the assault.
I feel like maybe there are special rules for being politically insensitive if you're using a rhyming scheme of some sort. OMG, I'm totally kidding! It's never right. Except when I do it.
And I know that I'm making a generalization that rappers are insensitive for a joke and I'd like to point out that we're not talking about Talib Kwali or Mos Def or something--this is a dude who's biggest selling point is often considered how many times he's been shot. So there. In yo face. OMG, I need coffee...I sound like I'm trying to start a fight on this blog.

DA says:
OMG the bodyguard's face is hysterical!!
Also, was he insulting Jewish people? Because Jimmy Rosemond is not Jewish...so is he insulting the lawyers? And why in rhyme form?
Bunny says:
2cent is a douche! A dirty one at that. He is such a fool. He even had the audacity to try to start something with OPRAH THE GODDESS! For this alone, he should be torn asunder!

haha thats new York for ya. Hot 97 is the one of the most popular radio stations out there. And I'm sure if 50 said something TOTALLY OUT OF WACK, they would have censored it (given the 5 sec gap). In New York, everyone loves a Jew! Its not like other parts of the country, where making fun of a Jew would translate to anti-semitism .
