Cowards...

of hip hop! Remember "Lions of Hip Hop" by Mos and Kweli? Of course you do. Well, 50 Cent and Tony Yayo are proving themselves to be the Cowardly Lions of Hip Hop. It bad enough their body guard entourage has inflated to the point where the phrase "hip hop police" had to be coined in their honor, but these latest allegations are detestable. It doesnt matter that it was Jimmy Henchmans son- bullying a fourteen year old kid for reppin a rival label makes the whole squad look bad. What were the intentions- scaring him into buying a G-Unit hoodie? As a man, there are three things always considered sacred- his food, his money, and his kids. Remember how Eminem flipped out when someone mentioned Hallie in a song? Thats because you can beef all you want, but there are still standards, and this crosses the line. I hated the static and division, but always respected 50 for his consistent success and hustle. I know Im not alone when I say I cant respect that. G-G-G-G U-NOT!

But on another note, I wish Guinness World Records people never acknowledged Lil Jons piece as setting a record for the worlds biggest bling. Rappers were already trying to out do each other, but this is gonna start a race that makes us all look like losers. Shouldnt we be deterring such frivolous spending? Within a month, Im sure you will read about the Guinness World Record for the most expensive grill. If artist insist on out doing each other, let it be in the music they make, not the money they waste...-j
