SAVE OUR KIDS FROM G-UNIT?

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.

Yayo needs to be handcuffed to a chair while children stand in lie to slap his stupid behind. What is wrong with this dude and his clique? I know he would be looking at a beat down if he put his hands on my child. Cyn Reed has a reason to be mugged up, looking like she ready to fight.

There is merit in them picketing against Universal Records. Contrary to what these artists portray, they really have very little creative control. The music executives tell them what’s “hot” and what’s “going to sell” because they know what they’re willing to promote. They’re not going to promote honest expression. To me, that picket mentality is like trying to appease someone that has violated you but what do you expect from the post Martin Luther King generation of blacks that want to kill each other but be diplomatic with the caucasians.

Black people need to analyze that mantra of, “we need to check ourselves.” We do, that’s obvious, but do black people say that because they really plan on making community wide changes or just so that they don’t have to confront this society and mainstream (white) America. So which one is it, do we have to change or is Obama Hillary Kerry Gore gonna “save” the black community?

Has anyone even asked why the kid got smacked. I have smacked kids for various reasons. Like when you catch them stealing from you or hitting another kid younger than them. Nobody is asking that but every body seems to be talking about 50 cent and his music whic has nothing to do with another man who is responsible for his own actions. That pretty much makes most of you haters. Then as soon as his song is played in the club you dancing and bombing ya necks. 50 is talented and busy oriented. He came from the streets and now hes doing movies and hes good at it. STOP the HATIN. Tony YAYO I am not your judge maybe the kid deserved a good smack up maybe he didnt i guess you will pay for that.

shamash, there is no reason for a grown man to hit a 24 year old that is not his relative. also, the reason was that yayo saw the boy walking down the street with a rival music groups label on it. so he hit him. sounds stupid, but stupid is she unit.

after watching ANTM last night and seeing Curtis Jackson push a woman into the pool because he was “annoyed” by her. I don’t doubt that he is behind the slapping. He seems to have no sense of respect for others or their families. Luckily, Karma is a biacth and she’s looking at him right about now.

Oh, and I highly doubt 50 cent has little control in what he does! In fact I truely believe the rappers should be put in their place and know that they are NOT above the law!

All of these so-called ‘rappers” are just sell outs anyway. They have sold out black people in the name of the dollar bill from white A&R folks who decide what degrading rap-crap we’ll listen to next. Rappers no longer sing about anything but their bitches and their money. No wonder everyone here in the U.S. and abroad think they’re better thank black people. we’re depicted as fools in these rap videos. Get an education Ye-yo and “Fidee”!!!

i think that 50 should make an apology for what his camp did. 50 is suppose to be the head hancho. so he should be very embarassed by what his man did. when your close friends and family members do things which are f###ed up we sometimes apologize for that person’s behavior. but birds of a feather flock together. 50 isn’t any different from tony yayo. so why apologize when your just like that person. an apology would mean or be taken as 50 going against tony yayo. so 50 rather stay silent and act as if he was not there on the spot. or that that he knew nothing about the incident. g unit should at least man up and say this kind of behavior is not acceptable.
