50 Drops Game From G-Unit; Shots Fired At Radio Station
No more thugs. Seriously though. Are people trying to act hard or just act stupid? There is a limit to which I can only blame such ignorance on the mis-education of the Negro.
Hip hop isn't about Black folk killing each other, and I'm REALLY tired of hip hop music and culture being co-opted by this thug mentality where brothas gotta pull triggers to settle issues. I grew up in Harlem so I know the reality of what's going on in the streets, in our neighborhoods, in our families. But there comes a point where you have to stand up and demand more, demand better. It's just an excuse to say that one is a product of their environment and therefore is not responsible for their actions.
I know that our ancestors didn't endure hell on Earth for hundreds of years only for us to engage in systematic self-destruction.
Real men don't need to bus' guns to prove themselves.
My brothas and sistas, we need to demand better, expect better not only from ourselves but from the world around us.
Is anyone else feelin' me on this one? We need to hear your voices.

As a sister who is tired of the ego, cocky-ness and greed that has overtaken the art form known as hip hop it makes me sick to see two talented individuals basically fight over who their respective friends are! Really are we back in grade school where when i don't like your friends we beat them up and ostracize them from the rest of the playground community. But now, we have traded in our schoolyard weapons of words, with guns and shootouts. The fact that we have now seen the beginning of another hip hop fued becuase of the ego of some of its players in the "G-Unit' camp is a testament to the immaturity of some of its most talented players.
