SAVE OUR KIDS FROM G-UNIT?

Tuesday, April 3, 2007

Following the March 20 assault of a 14-year-old boy in Manhattan, has violence in the Hip-Hop community reached a boiling point?

Smashing CDs and shredding T-shirts. That was the scene Monday in front of Universal Records as Hip-Hop fans gathered to say they’re sick of the violence that has claimed a child as it’s latest victim.

Rapper Marvin Bernard, known as Tony Yayo, allegedly attacked the 14-year-old son of a rival music company boss last week for wearing a T-shirt with the rival’s emblem.

“My son was approached by four men, two brandishing weapons and one slapping him in the face,” said Cynthia Reed, the victim’s mother. “I stand here today disappointed, disgusted and in disbelief that such a cowardly act was done to my child.”

Reed and others are calling for accountability from the artists and record companies — or a boycott.

“There is no civilized society that can stand by while its children are being beaten,” The Rev. Al Sharpton said. “We can not have a community where there are no standards, where there are no boundaries.”

Yayo, who now faces charges of assault and endangering the welfare of a child, is a member of rapper 50 Cent’s “G-Unit.” READ MORE

Yea it’s that serious…

Al Sharpton and Cynthia Reed

Yesterday, Sharpton was joined by city Councilman Charles Barron, Czar executive Bryce Wilson, Cynthia Reed (mother of the victim), and Stephanie Hires - the ex-girlfriend of Busta Rhyme’s stained bodyguard Israel Ramirez - and she also brought their son Stiles Ramirez.

Interestingly enough, Allhiphop reported that the police is seeking to question Yayo in the murder of Ramirez because they believe the gunman who killed Ramirez was with Yayo and that the G-Unit rapper may have fled in the same vehicle. So yea, it ain’t looking too great for the G-Unit crew right now.

I hope this whole act wasn’t another desperate cry for attention. Ain’t 50 about to release another album? Bad move kid…he better stop laying back and do something.

@ Seabreeze, I have to say that yes rap has alot of negativity in it these days and yes they are kids who pick up on these lyrics and just run with it. But who is there to blame? The artist? I don’t think so. I think parents should instill in their children the difference between entertainment and reality. If your child is easily influenced by rap lyrics don’t blame the artist, as a parent, blame yourself. No matter what songs are played on the radio, I censor what my children listens too. Not only that, I also talk with them about moral and values. You bought up the fact that songs are being played in clubs and fights break up. Yes I have seen it happen plenty of times before. But why blame the artist? Why not blame the dumb a$$ who is easily influenced just by a damn song? Young people need to be taught that these artist are in it for one thing and one thing only….$(money). Half of the bull$hit these rap artists are talking about, they never did that $hit. My post has gotten way too long so I’m out. I don’t usually do long posts. I like to keep it short and sweet most of the time.

I forgot to comment on Al. I think Yayo should be sentenced for assault but I don’t think this requires Al Sharpton presence. Where was the protest when Kramer disgraced our race? What about the senseless killings in the hood? What about the violence that still exists in New Orleans? People, mostly children, are getting killed every single dayum day down here. Where is the protest? What about the people who are supposed to be protecting the people and enforcing the law (police) but instead are killing young black men? For example, they had a black male who was killed by a police officer down here just because he cut in front of a funeral procession? Where was the mofo protest then!!!

Kids are easily influenced that’s the point! We as a society should be more responsible with the types of images we bombard them with in media outlets, maybe if these images weren’t so easy to access or view it would help to eliminate some of the violence.

Children or young people learn from adults if we make a big issue out of the violence perpetuated in the media and ban or limit their access to it, maybe they would take us as adults more seriously.

Hell some of us adults beat our children to the tv or radio to listen to the nonsense, instead of having a discussion about what our children are listening to and why they shouldn’t take the messages in songs and videos seriously-when we do nothing it’s almost as if we condone the violence ourselves.

Somebody has to do something, especially, since it seems like so many parents aren’t doing it at home.

I agree with so many people on here…

I do believe that this is a serious issue. This is an issue within the black community and altho there are worse sh*t going on, ppl gettin murked or whatever the case is in other hoods…. u gotta take a stand somewhere. u gotta start somewhere.

just b/c we haven’t found osama, does that means we have to ignore the issues within our communities, that we live in! come on now.

DAMN!! They should call this site the GUNOT Hater site. It seems as though everyone who had something to say really hates G-unit. It’s almost like they personally did something to each and every one of you. Mase said it the best and it’s true to the fullest. “Mo money mo problems”. He also should have said mo hate as well. Now, Tony Yayo should be punished to the fullest if he is guilty but what no one on here seems to realize or is completely clueless to is that Jimmy Henchman and Tony Yayo are the biggest enemies. So yeah his son probably did get slapped, which was wrong, but the story that he’s telling is probably made up of a bunch of lies as well. I mean come on, 4 men 2 with guns approach him because he’s wearing a CZAR shirt??? And then on top of that the boys mother involves Al Sharpton and does a press conference to attack G-unit not just Marvin B? The woman has also reached out to 50’s endorsement deals to try and have them stop his money. Now if that isn’t personal and you guys can’t see that then this really is a hater nation site. I really really don’t approve of what happened to the kid but I think CZAR Ent. is trying to use this ordeal to attack their competition which is wrong, Very wrong. But, we’ll see what happens on April 25th when this all goes to court. I’m sure everyone will be shocked at press time.

Foxxy380… Preach girl! I agree 100%. More parents need to take a little more responsibility in what their children watch, listen to, as well as what they do! It is so easy to blame others for what we should be handling ourselves at home. I know you can’t be with your kids all the time, but your influence and the things that you have taught them can!

I do feel that many of these artists are partly to blame for some things, but at the end of the day we as people make our own choices and decisions. No song can make you break the law, you make the choice to do that by yourself. It’s called taking responsibility for your own actions!

As for this post… 50 and his entire camp are a bunch of lames. Yayo is a fool and deserves to go to jail! What the hell is the matter with these fools?

Gunit days are over anyway. Look at their album sales can we say flops. And 50 is dropping this summer another flop.

I’m glad everyone ignored those obsessed haters # 6 and # 9, this is serious but yet they can’t keep someones name out their mind on a post that clearly has nothing to do with that person. Sad

I agree with 18, this shit really isnt that important to the black community. Niggas get into fights EVERYDAY for the stupedist shit, the only reason why this situation is gettin so much attention is because of the people envolved. Now Im not sayin that it should be ignored, Tony definetly needs to have his day in court and things need to be figured out from their, but it makes me laugh thinkin that al sharpton is protectin the kids from bein slapped by gunot lol!

Come on kids cant get a decent education, AIDS numbers are ever increasin in our community, but no we must stop and think about a boy who was slapped for wearin a t-shirt. Leave this shit to the courts and lets all move the fuck on, like sme said dude hasnt even been proven guilty yet smh! Where was AL Sharpton when rkelly was pissin on kids, or when tyrese was being accused of punching his baby momma?

Even if the 14yrs kid was talkin smack the adult should of taken the high road and walk away. That slap is as disrespectful as it comes; especially if you are a parent. I’m surprised the kids father showed restraint because if that was my kid YAYO would of been spitin up blood. Hiphop really need to clean up it’s image.

I AGREE AND I THINK THEY SHOULD DO THE BOYCOTT. YAYO WAS THE 1 THAT ACTUALLY DID THE ASSULT BUT, 50 WAS ALSO INVOLVED TOO. HE IS THE 1 THAT TOLD YAYO TO DO THAT TO THE LIL BOY. SO, HE NEEDS TO GET IN TROUBLE TOO.

Tony Yayo slaps a child in the face,
and Black people are on the picket line, and holding a boycott, huh…

What exactly does Universal Records have to do with Tony Yayo slapping this kid ??.

Universal Records didn’t tell Tony Yayo to slap the kid.

They probably don’t even knows who Tony Yoyo is..He’s a Blip on the screen, a hype man for 50 cent, he’s nobody to Universal/Interscope

Negro’s are something else…

Caucasians probably think these people have lost their minds…

Protesting stuff, that should be handled in House.
Why we always protesting stuff ???

This is ridiculous waste of time & energy, that could be best used for other things of Importance…

ABOUT ME
SHAQUANDA COTTON
PARIS, TEXAS, US

I am a 14-year-old black freshman who shoved a hall monitor at Paris High School in a dispute over entering the building before the school day had officially begun and was sentenced to 7 years in prison. I have no prior arrest record, and the hall monitor–a 58-year-old teacher’s aide–was not seriously injured. I was tried in March 2006 in the town’s juvenile court, convicted of “assault on a public servant” and sentenced by Lamar County Judge Chuck Superville to prison for up to 7 years, until I turn 21. Just three months earlier, Superville sentenced a 14-year-old white girl, convicted of arson for burning down her family’s house, to probation.

Shaquanda Cotton Needs You…

by Paula Neal Mooney

The YBP Guide led me to this Chicago Tribune article by Howard Witt titled “To some in Paris, [Texas] sinister past is back,” about the plight of Shaquanda Cotton.

As a 14-year-old, Shaquanda Cotton was sent to youth prison with violent offenders for a minor crime — shoving a hall monitor.

“In Texas, a white teenager burns down her family’s home and receives probation,” writes Witt.
“A black one shoves a hall monitor and gets 7 years in prison. The state NAACP calls it `a signal to black folks.’ ”

Read more about Shaquanda Cotton, and let’s all act as the YBP Guide suggests.

Let’s swamp Texas Governor Rick Perry with emails and phone calls until justice is served!

And let’s peacefully inform Lamar County Judge Chuck Superville — the judge who sentenced Shaquanda Cotton — who had no prior record — to seven years in prison, of our dissent:

@ 102 Bill….exactly! I wish there was this much outrage for Shaquanda Cotton a year ago when she was sentenced to 7 years in prison. Luckly she is free now (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-070331shaquanda,1,7488591.story?coll=chi-news-hed&ctrack=1&cset=true) but this poor girl lost a year of her youth – that’s an outrage worth taking to the streets for!

This Yayo situation, while f*cked, IMO is not as important as some of the other issues happening in our community. I’m sorry, the problem isn’t with w/ G-Unit, it’s with Sony, Universal, BMG, Arista etc…. and all these other companies that get PAID off of this gangsta *ish were so adamant about selling. I certainly believe in freedom of speech and I believe theirs a time a place for every type of music and it is of course a parents responsibility to monitor what their children listen to. However there’s something wrong with an industry where people who are NOT promoting violence and misogyny can’t get record deals and have #1 hits. Were setting out standards waaaaaaaaaaaay to low!

basically Gunit had this coming a long time ago..
I agree with what a lot ppl had to say. Hitting that kid was wrong but there are a lot of issues that should be protested over B4 this. Like Miss Cotton as others have stated or the general violent influence that Hip Hop has on the youth.. Kids need to be seriously supervised, there’s to much garbage exposed out there

In the business world if a bad move was made by an employee, then the company is looked at, that’s why people get fired. So, looking at Tony Yayo, he represents G-Unit, so obviously 50 being the head of the company will be questioned. You have to know the people who are around you and know that the people who works for you, are a reflection of you. So people, think of it as business sense. If it was your company, who do you think they would address.

I agree with all who stated that individuals must except responsibility for their own actions. You cant blame it all on music.At the end of the day choices are yours to make.You either make the right choice or you make the wrong one. Parents stop looking to celebritys that you dont know , who dont know or even care about you* & your family to act as a role model for your children.That is your role. When you set the right example for your children and spend an adequate amount of quality time with them it wont matter what 50 cent or SNOOP DOG , says in their songs. If your children reside in your house you can decide what is or isnt appropraite for them to watch .
Now in regards to Tony Yayo(member of Gunit) slapping the 14 year old boy ,I say that he should be held accountable. I could care less who instructed him to do it, he chose to do it, and that to me makes him very responsible for what happened. It was a bad choice , and cowardly, becauseif ya really must pick on someone let it be someone your own age and size who has done something to you personally, and not an innocent child.
As for Al Sharpton, he hops on any hot story headline ,like a fly to shyt!

I agree with #18, however I don’t know whether I believe the whole situation. I just don’t see two grown a$$ men smaking around a 14yr old kid because of the shirt he is wearing. Personally, speaking I would put it past Jimmy “Henchmen” to make something like this up. this is the same man who smacked up a DJ in DC because he didn’t agree with his opinion or some crap like that, and the same man who help launch the g-unot campaigne.

Sorry I’m not buying it.

In addition to that we all know Mr. Al ” I love to attach my name to things so that I can get on Tv” Sharpton is a publicity whore. The man will back anything to be in the public eye. There once was a time when his name meant something, however we are no longer in those times. With all the things going on in the black community and in THE WORLD no less, a 14yr “being smacked by a 28yr old man” is what he has taken on as his calling.

PUH-LEASE!!!!

I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes out that all of this was just the henchmens way of attaching bad publicity to g-unit.

I think the reason it’s a big deal is because they are role models. Sure, they talk about doing worse things on records but you all know the old saying “actions speak louder then words.” So, yes, some spoiled rich kid getting smacked isn’t necessarily breaking news, but it is when the people doing it are A) celebrities and should know better B) rap about doing worse, and now by shamelessly smacking some rival kid around they prove that they are capable of what they rap about and that’s the scary stuff. Who knows what they would’ve done had they met the boys father on the street alone like that? Besides, you all are talking about ‘innocent until proven guilty’ well, aren’t they blaming the son for the father’s actions? Instead of going after the father, they attacked his son, and that’s a low blow.

I don’t know what is up with this. Tony Yayo should be ashamed of himself. Check out America’s Next Top Model this wednesday 50 pushes Jael in the pool. Something isn’t right with G-Unit they need to stop acting like their back in the hood. JUST GHETTO!!!!!

^ fyi….al sharpton did rally against the police in the bell case. But I agree this *ish is silly.

What I do want 2 say is although parents are responsible for their kids, artist who MARKET themeselves 2 kids should be heald responsible. I.e. Justim timberfake hosting the kids choice awards? Wasn’t he glorify drug use just a week ago? I can name like 3 celebrities that are actually kid friendly that were at that event.

That little boy probably got what he deserved. Kids are very disrespectful now. I’m with #120 if Yayo wanted to really hurt the boy he would have kicked his ass. In my niece elementary school a little boy told his teacher to suck his dick and he is only 8 yrs. Old. These kids need they ass whipped.

And why is everyone hating on 50? There is worst music out now than what he was doing. 50 is changing his style up to less violently. I don’t think 50’s image is making kids behave badly. I have been watching 50’s videos and only the Wanska video to me was a little violent. But I will admit that Rap now is very violent and direspects women. What happened to lyricist? Black parents need to stop blaiming others for their kids bad behavior.

@ Marie. Entertainers should not have to be role models. Parents are supposed to be the role models but they are not these days. A good parent = the possibility of a good child. Why aren’t there nice family sitcoms like the Cosby’s on BET, but I watch Nickelodeon and the Disney channel and their showing the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and the Cosby show and That’s So Raven. Those are good family oriented sitcoms. It seems like Nickelodeon got more respect for us than ourselves. Every show I see on BET is negative (except the lil JJ and Lil Romeo and College Hill) like the wire.

People can stop saying that 50 was involved. He wasn’t. He wasn’t even in the same state. Yayo is the one that did the crime. I don’t understand banning 50 cent? The t-shirts are ridiculous. They’re acting as if they do this all the time running around hitting kids. Save our kids from Yayo/G-Unit?! Give me a break. Yes, what he did was wrong and isn’t acceptable but, they’re going in the wrong direction with this one.

Can we just put all ignorant acting black people in there own racial/ethnic subset? Shit, middle class and certainly upper class white people feel no accountability or allegiance for white trash.

#134 QAT: How the fuck do you know if 50 wasn’t there ? The kid said he was so I believe this young dude.

#135 CLARKTHINK; What do you mean ‘for a change’ ?

This generation of young Blacks ain’t shit. Hip-Hop should not be our savior. Yes, it is our culture but there has to be a line drawn between what’s acceptable and what’s not.

How many rappers walked or even spoke up about the Sean Bell murder ? How many rappers offered condolences to his fiance’ ? How many rappers called for a nation-wide conference between young black men/Hip-Hop community and the police departments. That could have been held in NY, ATL, anywhere.
These so-called real niggas and rappers don’t give damn about Hip-Hop fans. Enough is enough.

Well I for one am glad this isn’t being swept under the rug.

As much as I try to be fair to hip-hop, I’m starting to regret the day it was born. The artform has morphed from being a voice to the poor to telling stories of glorified violence, sex, drugs, envy, greed and jealousy. It to me has become the most significant catalyst for the demise of black men from the ground up. The story of this grown ass man assaulting a child is no exception.

G-UNIT is SHIT

Wednesday, April 4, 2007 /

I think a lot of yall are missin the point. I think, and i HOPE that Al Sharpton (as lame as he is sometimes) is using this as a vehicle to attack the gansta rappers b/c its ridiculous. The music they put out affects the youth. Do you know how fucked up our generation is and is gonna be if this doesnt stop? Especially those born in the 1990s? G-Unit has always been bullshit. I was never a fan of 50 and I could never understand why everyone else was.

I saw on tv somewhere, that someone called 50 out on his lyrics and how disrespectful they were, and that they only infected the young mind. 50 aka *loose change* had the auDACITY, to say that it wasnt his fault if the kids listened to his music. It was the parents fault. They controlled what they’re kids listened to.

Now stop and think for a min. What kind of dumbass actually thinks that Parents can control the music they’re kids listen to 100%? Eventually these kids are gonna hear it, no matter what parents do. 50 is to blame. U dont put out music like that unless u expect someone to listen to it, and u have to understand that it can fall into Anyones hands.

Like Nas said, Hip Hop is Dead. No one has respect nowadays. I think i might move overseas if this shit continues…

It’s true that it wasn’t 50 that woos the kid, but as a G-unit leader he shouldn’t have allowed that to happen. if not for the violence he had in him against the entertainment industry.
So i will love the low to take place to stop violence against kids and the entertainment industries. Course all we need is one love.

50 did say he was not even in the state of NY when it happened. Eyewitness testimony is not always one hundred percent true. The boy could have been mistaken and thought he saw 50 there, but didn’t. If 50 says he was not even in the state, there’s a problem with part of the story. Tony should be held accountable though for his actions.

I need more people.

If 50 was not physically there, how was he supposed to stop yayo. It is impossible to reach your hands across state lines to stop somebody from harming somebody else. Now he should deal with yayo after the investigation is done by the police department and case is closed after trial or what have you. I have a feeling yayo will be dealt with by 50.

ONE MORE THING EVEN THOUGH 50 HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS HE IS THE LEADER OVER GUNIT. FOLLOW ME PEOPLE, IT’A LIKE ME BEING A CEO AND MY EMPLOYEE BEATS UP SOMEONE OR MAKES A RACIST REMARK. THE POSITION THAT I’M IN I WOULD TO CHECK HIM (PUT HIM IN HIS PLACE OR FIRE THAT PERSON). WE CAN’T SAY THAT 50 HAVEN’T CHECK HIM BUT HE HAVEN’T EVEN ADDRESS IT TO THE PUBLIC SO EITHER HE CONDOMES IT OR HE DON’T GIVE A SHIT. SO THAT’S WHY PEOPLE ARE BRINGING UP 50.
