That was a good point about Pac and Big. NOT ONE ARREST in over 10 years…

The police are not here for the protection of blacks with or without money. Read the 2nd Amendment and follow accordingly. PROTECT YOURSELF. Especially if you are an upstanding American citizen who is trying to live right. Sh*t happens…PROTECT YOURSELF.

HMM I DONT KNOW BOUT ALL THIS,,,I MEAN I THINK WE ALL KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT MOST POLICE OFFICERS,,,AS FOR BIGGIE AND PAC,,,WELL I DONT KNOW ABOUT BIGGIE’S KILLER AND WHAT SUSPECTS THEY HAD AND ALL,,,BUT FOR PAC,,,WELL HIS KILLER IS DEAD,,,IF PAC AND HIS CREW STOMPED ON ME IN VEGAS,,,I WOULD TRY TO TAKE HIM OUT TOO,,,DONT CARE WHO HE IS,,,BUT ANYWAY,,,MOST KNOW WHO TOOK HIM OUT. FOR WHTEVER REASON,,,THE MAN JUST DIDNT GO TO PRISON(& HE WAS BLACK & SOMEONE ALREADY TOOK HIM OUT AS WELL) SO WHATS THAT MEAN? I DONT KNOW BOUT THESE COPS THO ACTING LIKE IT AINT NO BIG DEAL,,,I MEAN I HATE 50CENT(only cuz of his treatment to young buck,,,lol) BUT I DONT WANNA SEE A MAN DEAD FOR TRYING TO ENTERTAIN SOME PEOPLE FOR FREE,,,THE COPS SAID “They’re gonna take a shot at him, and they’re either gonna hit him or they’re gonna miss him and hit some poor, innocent kid or grandmother.” I KNOW 50 AINT INNOCENT ON HIS PAST BUT DAMN WTF,,,IF THEY HIT HIM,,,ITS OK,,,WOULD IF THAT GRANDMOTHER KILLED SOMEONE WHEN SHE WAS 20? LMAO,,,i tell people all the time,,,were all guilty of some s**t,,,we all just dont get caught,,,some of us even get to become OFFICERS!!! maybe i said too much,,,LOL

these days nothing cops do or say surprises me the cops are not our favorite people in fact some of them are most hated with good reason. but the God honest truth is have some self control you have hold to the people responsible accountable if someone does try to harm him which i hope they don’t get mad at your community and the people who took part in making a festivities a mess not at the police at the end of the day take control of your community and yourself that’s how you prevent a killing to not hold the community responsible is to say that young black people can’t control themselves and can’t help but to act violent and it’s expected and that’s not true you don’t see somebody doing something stupid and join in have your own. I say community because if you hear somebody planning on doing something stupid you talk sense to them to deter them if i have a friend who’s knock down drunk and wants to drive and im in their presence it’s my job to stop them we are our brother’s keeper let’s start taking accountability for our actions

p.s. i didn’t know the cops were psychics it’s like they are planning for it to go down like that a lot of times they just need to keep their mouth closed mainly with stupid statements like that as i said below it’s like they expect us to act like animals come on people let’s prove them wrong

i’m not hatin on 50 cent but he is not a prophet and bob marley was not talkin about him in Redemption Song. that nigga puts himself out there all the time. if there are people that hate him and want to kill him what the hell can the police do about it? if i was a police officer i would not make it a top priority to protect no damn 50 cent.

Shut up you dumb b***h! If you was a rapper you would want someone to protect you so step your game up it dont have s**t to do with him putting hisself out there they are saying that there are going to be innocence peps around might even be your grandmother all I forgot you say let the bullets fly bullets dont have no eyes and once again dumb b***h shut the f**k up Shaydm2006 Who agrees that this b***h is a hater?

Lol! These articles are funny, but I agree with shay a little on this. In my opinion first I would not compare 50 to a Bob Marley. From the article thou just seems that the police are saying it is no guarantee in his situation. And it seems they are outspoken cause who it is concerning. Police have families too and it is senseless for some one like my cousin who is an officer to risk his life for some one who has actually created many enemies for himself. Now the Fathers and Mothers who wear the badge are suppose to do extra because someone did extra create extra issues. 50 used beef to sell. You reap what you sow in my opinion. Used the millions made off of controversy to pay for top dollar protection from possible issues that may arise from the controversy that made you that top dollar. LOL! Bob Marley and 50 in the same sentence. Bob was a revolutionary. He attacked hypocritical ideas, thoughts and actions, while striving to not commit hypocritical ideas, thoughts and actions. Huge difference than 50 and many other artist today. I may compare a Common or Mos Def. LOL! Not 50.

@uglycandyrain i am not a hater i actually give 50 his props on his work. BUT BELIEVE IT OR NOT SWEETIE RAPPERS ARE NOT THAT ESSENTIAL TO THE MOVEMENT TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITIES BETTER. Famous people are supposed to PAY for their own security if they want people to protect them during a concert. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS YOU DUMB ASS GIRL. Get a life hoe.

people need to stop worshiping these damn celebrities and get they priorities str8

Lol! Preach on sister

Besides, 50 ain’t concerned with the crowds guaranteed safety, just his. Which it seems that is what the police are probably thinking. That they are there to protect the crowd which is a greater task. Unfortunately even greater when dealing with a personality profile such as 50.

and honestly i HIGHLY doubt that 50 cent is depending on the damn NYPD to protect him during a concert. if i was a high profile rapper I damn sure wouldn’t.

50 AINT DEPENDING ON THEM PUSSIES TO PROTECT HIM SO BEST BELIEVE HE GOT BACK UP.THEM CRACKERS DONT WANT TO PROTECT THEIR DAMN SELF LET ALONE SOMEBODY ELSE.

50 not expecting police protection but reason im writing is comparing marley lyric … “kill our prohphet” come on now what does killing our prophets even leaders have to do with 50? the no talent drama king?

What a bunch of dimwits—————50 want to go do an open concert——-the police says its not safe——–he still want to o out———how is this an ‘ok’ to kill him? Arent yall being dumb? Shouldn’t you be thanking the police for hintin the bugger? 50 cent a prophet? LOL

I’m a big fan of 50 and I got every 50 Cent cd but I have to agree with Shaydm2006. A lot of people act like celebrities are their brothers and sisters or whatever. I’m sure nothing will happen to this man. Rich niggas always got security right? Hell, I know I would lol. @Jaysty42, I’m sure he cares about others well being also. I mean, it is a free concert. Why would he be doing that if he didn’t care?

This comment is for Mz_Knightowl. Why are you talking about Tupac’s killer like it was only one person involved and like you know for a fact that it was that Orlando guy? He was obviously a scapegoat for the assasination…he didn’t even have a ticket for the Tyson fight so what was he doing out there? Are you telling me that Orlando staged the whole thing and made sure his security wasn’t going to have any guns on them at the time as well? The reason Biggie and Pac’s murder cases haven’t been solved is because there is police involvement in both cases and they don’t want that bad PR in L.A. or Las Vegas. If you did know who did it, the people involved probably would’ve took you out by now so please chill out with all of that wreckless talk about things you don’t know about.

enlighten me here…why would a Black performer need Whitey protection in his neighborhood, around his peeps…what does that projects bouts his own kind…by the way how real is this threat, is it manufactured just to garner comments or hype something that is not an actuality?

Shaydm 2006….You spoke a mouth full. If 50 dont care neither do I. Enuff said!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree that 50 cent is no prophet, HOWEVER, he is a human being that deserves the right to live. Law enforcement should protect his as they would anyone else…isn’t that their mission statement??? “TO PROTECT AND SERVE”

With the racist idiots that are on the payroll now, though, my advice to 50?
WEAR A BULLET PROOF VEST…AND A HELMUT.

one of the problems with blk folks is as a whole we waste too much time and energy on the ni99a faction of the commuity. rappers talk that thug sh it all the time so they should expect somethin to happen.

blk folks with sense know it is guranteed 2b some sh it happenin at a rap event so they will stay away.

The police arent giving the ok, they are stating there isnt enough enforcement to protect the number of people in attendance. They stated that at the DNC the RNC, and MJs funeral. When thousands of people in attendance do you think there are thousands of police? There arent enough police and soldiers put together to even attempt to contain a riot in the event that the entire country wanted to start acting up. What the media is doing is putting ideas in somebodys head. Its kinda like saying “Obama like to eat dinner at popular french restaurant Chez Pierre on sunday nights with is wife without security so he can feel intimate and not like hes working……..by the way thats every sunday night……no security……Chez Pierre…..”

It would be no big loss at all. Tupac and BIG brought their fate on themselves. When you talk all that violent BS, you shouldn’t be surprised when the violent BS comes back to you.

did u really compare 50 to a profit? ur a joker.

oops, i meant prophet

I was thinking the same thing mz_k

opinions like this article is the reason black media now is no better than white(or any other) media.

The internet gives way too many of the wrong people power.

50 created his own beef with rappers and others… now he can’t even come back to his own hood for a show!! Hilarious! Murder Inc, Rick Ross, Fat Joe,Diddy,Buck and D Block need to be at his show to start An Annual Convention “It’s time to get at 50 cent convention ” Fifty is a coward!

lmfao@ yall and your comments. i believe the police should do their BEST to protect. but then again….mr curtis jackson is prone to violence. having been shot already how many times?

50 Cent a prophet? Of what? nonsense.

I understand 50 is high profile. Has alot of attention on him because of his fame and his mouth. But at some point we are all in danger from what life poses. We’ve all walked the streets in sometimes unfavorable situations so its life. God gives us what He has for us. Just gotta walk your path I guess. As far as police. lol No comment

Mass hysteria is what their going for. F*ck this story.

I’mma need NewsOne not to edit my post. My comments was: “M-a-s-s- hysteria….

SORRY, I dont think he is any kind of prophet. If you rap about killin people and settin dope out on the streets u have no place in my heart. Yes I know the “Drug War” is an invention of the government and the “white” man, but these rappers are not helping by making it cool to f*ck hoes and slap b*tches and sell drugs. You should talk more about how it sucks to be a young black man in america with no education and no job and living at your grandma’s house selling nickel and dimes to you own people and watching as they kill themselves and all you will think about is how to get the chain 50 is wearing in some hoe filled video. Young men and women should put your ears and eyes to the books and get the education that makes your family proud and you baby cousins and siblings will look up to you and be proud. Half of these fools dont even know what crack looks like, they googled it once they signed that deal. Get real america he is asking to be shot if he chooses not to change his ways. I pray no one does it so he wont become another artist praised for his death and only thing he did in life was lie and fill the heads of the youth with BULLSHYT!!!!

LOL I wonder how much Curtis paid his boys in the NYPD to make that statement…sucka ass.

I hate to see journalist trying to write an article to stir us up over something as stupid as this. What idiot would want to hold a free concert in a public setting like that when your music and persona is all about being a thug? The police are basically saying, “Have the concert in a stadium or some other area where we can control who is coming into the area and what they are bringing into an area.” Tupac and Biggie’s killers were not captured, not due to a lack of the police trying to find out who did it but because “BLACK” people, my people, refused to say who they saw shoot these individuals because of the “code of the streets.” Last but not least, when did 50 become a prophet? I have to agree with JACKIEGURL85.

Damn Curtis Jackson.

LMAO well dont say F UCK THE POLICE, and be surprised when they say F UCK U BACK, if you so hard prove it! Its easy to talk Gangster on a record, Show us how u run New York.. 50 talked about taking those nine shots like he was iron man. take the vest off on stage like you did in the “Get Rich or Die Tryin” movie.Stop selling a false image if you cant back it up… Jay-z didnt have this problem when he was in Marcy projects, Nas didnt have this problem when he did that concert in Queens 3 weeks ago.. Its obvious the police know that 50′s own hood doesnt like him and protecting him would be almost impossible sense its a free concert located outside. Like all public events police will be there but they are not going to go above and beyond to protect him.

WOW IM SO AMAZE AT ALL THE JEALOUSLY OUT HERE…DAMN JUST GO OUT THERE AND DO YOU AND STOP WISHING DEATH ON A PERSON..THE COPS WANTS US TO KILL EACH OTHER…

Wow…so many comments…Fif, a prophet? Pac & Biggie? Bob Marley? OK! A free concert will not benefit his old hood. School is starting back! Is he givin’ out backpacks? Pencils, etc.? So many beneficial things he could be doing that would 1) better serve his purpose of being a “role model” or “celebrity” or whatever you feel he is, but he has the pedestal, so use it wisely and 2) make it easier to keep the peace for the sake of that “grandmother” or even the police. Down south, we don’t care much for Fif, but at the same time, he needs to know that every move is a calculated step (peep that Pac phrase if u a real fan). Not saying he will get popped at, but he just increases the likelihood. No more negative comments, support each other to make the best decisions.

lmmfao@ sayin 50 cent is a prophet. u’d think they’d weanna keep their #1 snitch healthy though

ok i’m more of a phrofet than 50 cent is LOL

maybe he should just offer a reward to the fans,,,if they see anything suspicious,,,point it out,,,if nothing goes down,,,then hes good,,,LOL,,,
lol @ ladyobama,,,probably,,,right,,,i dont think i ever heard a positive message in a whole complete song from him,,,

to the person who left a comment for me(feeling special) LOL,,,maybe i shouldnt have said what i said cuz i have no proof anymore,,,and it dont even matter,,,i just gave a simple answer,,,dont need to give all the details cuz my ass aint on trial here. Pac’s dead,,,s**t happens,,,he wasnt no innocent person,,,and when u do dirty s**t,,,ur gonna have a lot of enemies. Some celebrities roll round town,,,especially other towns thinkin their invincible,,,some roll round scared as hell with protection round them 24/7. u cant guarantee nothing 100% of the time,,,theres always room for failure. but anyways,,,what do i know,,,LAPD had all kinds of setups going all the time,,,some come to light some dont. As for them takin me out,,,LMAO,,,if they take anyone out who knows anythin bout s**t anyone wants to hide bout this,,,wow,,,i guess alot of CPT and LA would be filled with alot of dead bodies. *keepin it movin,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

He helps the po-po time and time again and that’s the thanks he gets. Don’t help them foos’ no more Fif.

NO ONE WILL EVER CHILL 50CENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IM G.OD GUNIT/CUNIT MEMBER FROM 1-8TH STREET LOU,CY
WH@UP 50!
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Nas was in Queens HEAVY!!! No security… why Fif gota be scared for? He grew up over there… He’s rich show the man love when he comes home…. Queens made him let the man live!

They arrest a Harvard professor in HIS own home for some bullish, what makes you think they’d go through great lengths to protect a rapper. Maybe this concert is a bad idea.

This is a crazy “article”. It seems to have been written soley to incite the reader. How is it the polices role to protect someone from being killed by members in the crowd looking to make a nme from themselves. If this is even true, the ONLY reason they’re doing so is becuase of the life that 50 cent has lived and chooses to still live – one by the sword so to speak. Those other music icons referred to made similar life choices to glorify violence and reapped what sowed. to paint it as a failure of the police in crazy. And lets not forget the community that breeds this craziness. The community espouses the “don’t snitch” credo, but is upset when the police don’t find the thugs who committed the murders. This is some crazy thinking. And to leave out that Obama’s security detail in doing a good job by just focussing on the crazy that brought a gun to the rally and ignoring the obvious – he was caught! – really brings home the purpose of the article – to see just how many are viewing newsone articles.

Want to start making a diffrenece? that how about news one sponsor an anti thugery rally in the community 50 cents to play in, and offering a $50000 reward for the information in the death of Biggie and Tu Pac…lead the way for the different community you want rather that incite the community as it is and leaving it a little worse than before.

First and Foremost, I honestly would have lost my life protecting a child, women or elderly person being attack.

People you see it everday, so many injustices towards minority people, YAH tells you this and it has come forth. But we refuse to listen. If you think the things right now are jawdropping and shocking wait until 10 years from now, and you notice years go by like weeks now. And in order to be accepted like you see black people trying to do what the devils do, you have to particpate in their evils(taking the number of the beast 666 just to fit in) Everything has set the tone for things to come and things that have already happen has a lot to do with what is going on with us. the Propaganda Techniques are in place. The first is religion, YAH never said worship a Jesus Christ, that is a belief thought to us by our parents, from their parents, from their parents, beat into them from their parents, beat into them by the devil; the Slave Master. And being we are still scared of the slave master, we still follow his rules and his teachings. Once you start searching and asking YAH to give you the true direction, instictively, within your blood, you will begin find the true light. You should start out with reading the entire book of Deuteronomy and that will help you with finding you and give you kind of an idea of why things are happening to us like they are(Police are killing and brutally beating our kids and killing and brutally beating our parents,. With this slave master faith that was beat into our family, and the ones who refused were killed brutally, we are force to accept any and everything that we know are wrong(accepting the mark of the beast)that we know YAH says not to do. The Satan will make laws in the future that you know are outright disgusting and against YAH. Black people beware soon they will say its ok to sleep with animals or soon it will be ok to be with children. White man already have organizations that says its ok and are doing it kidnapping animals and children. But YAH will soon destory all these devil and there work.
And the True White Man(SATAN)knows this, he knows more about who you are than you do. That is why he does the Propaganda Techniques so you will not learn your true identity. The true identity of having different skin color. And all this being said is especially for the black man, because we are the most powerful beings on this earth. We are the protectors , at least we were meant to be. , the offspring of blacks men such as Asian,latino,Indian, Middle eastern. If we do not turn away from these false faith, we will utterly be destroyed and forgotten meaning there is no afterlife in heaven for us. It will be as if we never existed. If we were to turn back to YAH, YAH is most merciful and forgiving creator, he will forgive all of our ancestor, black people who came before us and we will be remembered. A powerful race on this earth for a more noble and glorious purpose. It only takes a few because, know it or not, we are responsible for each other.
All I can say is black people learn who you are and your eyes will be open and all these things going on against us will instantly stop because they will be afraid of the mist of YAHWEH standing within the race of the blackman..

we only have good and bad people. Good people would come to the the elderly woman’s aid (whoever called the police in the first place could have resolved the issue with the elderly lady if you went to the link to watch the video, the police themselves would have come up with a different approach , the crowd seem to be very frightened of the individuals they pay to protect them…the police ). A good system with bad people in it looks really bad. There is a need for good educated people to be recruited into the police force and the fire among other department so that they can help and police within the community. Bob Marley said it right, “we are still standing a side and looking”….. as our grandparents being slammed on some concrete by complete strangers…when we could be the friendly face of the police changing the community one heart at a time. This cite should be running recruitment ads…lol.

This argument may seem bias, in a way it seems as if the kind of false sense of injustice. Everyone deserves a vivid sense of security and by that I mean the Police, 50 Cents, Our prophets, our leaders, the elderly, you and I alike. If anyone of us can guarantee our safety and that we will live forever in the physical form then hey I have no reason to jot on here. We are all vulnerable to a point even Jesus had one disciple act on his defense(by cutting an ear off) while everyone else stood aside and watched his persecution while feeling sorry for him. Yet to fuel the notion that black talents mysteriously killed become prophets; since 50 cents is a black talent his music should be prophetic after he is long gone; and that failure of the police to protect black talent is irresponsible and justifies their involvement; seems like a stunning fallacy because it is presenting a division among the police and the people they are payed to protect instead of unifying the people. How about the men or any wo/men standing by the elderly woman are they cowardly and irresponsible for the actions of the police, the woman or their own? Had the crowd been paid and armed to protect the elderly woman could their actions could have been different. Considering there are guns involved truth be told, it is a strong message to stay alive by staying away from the aggressor. The other way is to reach out and change the heart of the aggressor and the community by joining the police force and other services to help our fellow Americans, this is the educated way, the Spiritual and human way….YohanaJr

50-Cent is a good businessman and i dont wish death on the brother.

BUT

50Cent like ALOT of these rappers dont do anything but promote POISON AND DEATH for our people.

HOW DARE YOU RK BYERS; 50 CENT IS NO POET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe a portion of what the police make there choice on is this. Rappers who beef amongst each other, over not necessarily lyrics, territory or petty shenanigans. It’s that the goal of a rapper is to orchestrate articulate grammar in a beautiful way to a beat and tell the stories of there life to the people. The interpretation from a group of people who may not come from that walk of life that the rapper speaks of may find it as entertainment and another group may see it as derogatory. Where as someone who comes from a hard way in life may relate to this rapper and this is the connection made in music. So then these cops may be of those, who identify Curtis Jackson music as derogatory or as if “He a tough guy so it shouldn’t worry him”. The bible says in the book of Jeremiah that “It does not belong to man who is walking, even to direct his own step”. Therefore think about this when the idea of the justice system is for police to serve and protect. Some officers will take there own stand based on there own personal feelings. This is where you see that line crossed where misconduct comes into play. The cop feels on a large percentage that the court will justify him. Even when he knows he is out of line. This doesn’t mean we should go and take up Arms either in a ignorant fashion. God gave us instruction on how we should behave towards the Governments of today

I feel like this, as a man 50 shouldnt have dissed home like that, he got rich and never looked back. Jay got rich and still helps people out in marcy.

Its sad when a man cant go back to where he’s from, but at the same time 50 did it too himself. He did the people that had his back dirty as hell. He’s a known snitch and people have been wanting to get him ever since. I know if i worked security for 50 and by me knowing his history, aint no amount of money in the world that could get me to work that free show. And i feel where they are coming from.

lmao man if 50 is a prophet, Al sharpton is the reincarnate of Jesus

50 cent is not a prophet but he is a man who has changed and grown to a certain extent. He went from a drug dealer selling poison to a multi millionaire who has put one of the healthiest drinks on the market i.e. vitamin water. All I can say is racism still exists and some one may feel like hell we can’t kill Obama so we have to get somebody. I pray for 50 cent though I would not call him a prophet no one deserves to be targeted like that. I pray for him.

Just as BOB-Marley sang ” How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?” So, another song says “Get up stand up, stand up for your right” In view of these, why should we black kept our hands fold, seeing all these injustice killings of our people. Men, we need to do something before they start intrusion to killing of those who will not even commit any offence at all. We black have all the potential for good things that they could not and we should not be looking untill all our world stars are being completely eradicated unlawfully. U blacks “Stand up 4 ur right now” You should know that “Is too late cry when the head is already off” We black should please this in our second thought towards issues relating to this we are discoursing. See yaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

First of all 50 cents is not a prophet, he a rapper. He does good things for the community as well as bad things. The bottom line is NYPD is saying that the rapper has been beefing with a lot of people from that neighborhood they don’t know who exactly that will pull the trigger. 50 cents should cancel the concert because thats what the police would like. If he goes through with it then his safety is not guaranteed. No one can guaranteed the safety of another person anyways. Therefore, it’s up to 50 cents.

enlighten me here someone but why would this individual needs police protection from his own kind in his own neighborhoood (perhaps they needs be on a leash for the safety of others, pititful mentality)…by the way, is someone implying that that person is someone important as Bob Marley or Dr. King (not even close). finally, the above title may just be hype to get more audience to the event

That’s crazy her we go again. If they can’t do their job find another this is straight madness.

I thought a school was an enclosed area where crowd control would have been much easier and authorities can do their security scruternization even better. well is the NYPD can’t protect 50cent in a school it shows completely that the NYPD is an incompentent bunch and its a sure warning to our nations first Black President whenever he visits New York.

If 50 is really concerned about his safety all he has to do is contact the FOI of the Nation of Islam and he wont have any problems. I bet the police will insure his safety then if they see us getting involved.

HOW DID YOU GUYS COME TO THIS CONCLUSION? Is it just to get attention? You sure had mine, then I realized how STUPID this article sound. Do you actually get paid?

Live by the sword die by the sword! He talks a mean game so if he were such a bada$$ he would not worry about it. And how in the hell could someone refer to him as a prophet??????? If this is true then our society has gone to $hite!

And vitamin water was made by Coca-Cola, the same group that funded apartheid in S.Africa for many years!!!

that is really crazy
first of all, If this article is true why should the kids suffer because to 50. Because he is a rapper they want to place him in the rank of 2pac and BIggie. We know that 50 has had a rough life made and that is seen in his movie. I guess people have to protect theirself these and wonder why people go jail. this is just like another cry for help in the communities.
p.s if this is the case i would tell my kids not to go to the concert at the school.

Lets remember who truly is the minority. The world is filled with people of color. This is a threat to the real resessive gene carrying posture of the albino or Anglo in most cases.There truly is fear among those with powers that be, to take out as many peoples of color as possible. (Hitler)prototype! This is maddness of just a handful, because some of them will take out their own to achieve its goal.(Non-human).This is not held back by any racial bearer.Just look at the hood!Look at the bigger pitchure! Keep pitting or playing one against the other, (Divide and concor), and for sure all hell is bound to break out. The (eilite) could give a sh#t about you, or even its own race. So the Police officers are slaves in their own rights of thought or thinking.Human beings won’t allow this type of thing to happen. Blindly thinking that they are acting right according to the pecking order,but on the real scope of things,just truly knee jerking (mind control) reactions.We should know,because we African Americans live in the getto of Jim Crow thinking everyday. (Read between the lines)!Allowing ourselves to be slaughtered everyday by us, not filling,or carring about sh@t. Just let the n@gger die type of sh@t.Me, me, me, me, me,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats the only damn thing that matters? Sounds to me like the shoe is on the others foot, and the damn thing fits!So dont be so hard on the white officers ,(Racial Profile), because they are just as much of a slave as we are. So stop complaining.Take yo black ass down there when 50 cents shows up,and take a bullet for the brother.If we as people had are sh@t together, we would’nt need anybody to protect us against us! Needless to say protection by someone who hate yo Black ass. Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Learn to love your damned self.

I’m most disgusted by the author’s (mis)use of a Bob Marley quote, I’m sorry but since when is 50 cent a prophet? When Mr. Marley wrote this song I don’t think he had people like 50 cent in mind.

IF TRUE:

A. CANCEL THE SHOW! Queens crowd may end up shooting regardless…

B. Go forth with show, fitty’ endangers himself

C. Hire FOI (Fruits of Islam/ security services)or pre-advertise for unity and allow fans to self-police the event.

D. Use an Obama-victory speech style sheild and perform behind the glass.

E. Use his $500M water money to advertise the fact that NYPD refuses to police the crowd and any fatal occurence is a direct result of NYPD actions – ie; embarasss them

F. Use his $$$, Hire african-american and minority off Duty NYPD officers for personal and crowd protection, that really brings shame on the city.

G. Abbreviate the performance’ (cut it short) ask all 60,000-100,000 in the crowd to call and complain to the police waste the city money time and efforts fielding non sensical call ins. hahah

G is a joke , pls dont do that but u understand
they wont help us, F’em

FIRST OF ALL, I’D LIKE TO SAY WE MUST NOT BECOME LIKE THOSE WHO’VE STEERO TYPED US IN THE PAST BY LUMPING ALL OF US INTO ONE GROUP. I’M A 59 YEAR OLD AFRICAN AMERICAN MAN, AND I DID SAY MAN NOT MALE.IT’S TIME FOR US TO REALIZE THAT THE ENEMY OF AFRICAN AMERICANS HAS TAKEN THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT AND FREED EVERYONE EXCEPT THE BLACK MAN. WE ARE STILL TARGETED BY HIM AND NOW EVEN OUR BLACK WOMAN HAS SAID SHE DOESN’T NEED US, BUT I’D BE GUILTY OF STEERO TYPING IF I INCLUDED ALL BLACK WOMEN IN THAT STATEMENT.

I AM NOT A FAN OF RAPP MUSIC, BUT I WOULD DEFEND AN INDIVIDUALS RIGHT TO PERFORM RAPP AS WELL AS SOME BEING FANS. THIS IS A SIMPLE CASE OF DIVIDE AND CONQUEOR IN ITS’ SUBTLE DISQUISE. THERE ARE CRAZIES OUT THERE, BUT FANS OF RAPP MUSIC AS WELL AS THOSE OF US WHO ARE NOT MUST SAY TO THE POLITITIONS, THE POLICE AND ALL THE OTHER AGENCIES, THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO SERVE AND PROTECT. DON’T SAY THAT’S YOUR JOB AND DON’T DO IT, FOR IF YOU CAN’T OR JUST WONT, MOVE OUT THE WAY AND LET THOSE WHO CAN, DO.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii friend

I think you guys are missing a great opportunity to stop and think! WE don’t want THEM policing US anyway..Do WE?????? 50 Cent promotes violence among his own people(is this not correct?) And,until he wakes up and gets off his ghetto ass fence and comes into the fold of those who are trying to empower OUR PEOPLE f@#k him! Prophet!…f@#king PROPHET ? who are you kidding? You just shi##ed on DR.Benjachanon, Ahsra kwesi, Dr. Clarke, Barashango, The Whole AFRIKAN VILLAGE organization, Min.Louis Farakhan, Malcolm X, SA RA Suten Seti,and a whole host of others who have fought and continue to fight for the liberation our Afrikan peolple. Name once song that this punk made that is uplifting Blacks ?..Our babies are dying in these f@#king streets our women are being disrespected and your worried whether or not the if eneny is going to protect one of Your OWN who promotes the killing of his OWN people. This f@#king trader deserves what he gets. The sad part is many people will miss his death lyics if something happens to his a$$. We have fallen so in love with this Cracker that we have lost love of self. ASE!….Bang on the cracker daily never let up! Freedom or death dam-it! 600,000,000 lost at the hands of this BEAST and you’re looking for him to protect you?..NI##a PLEASE !…

i think its ridiculous that you actually compaired 50cent to a prophet!
what has 50cent done to be compair as great as a prophet!?
what he in the maya calendar, nostradamus(a famous prophet) for tell that 50cent would be unprotected at a freeconcert?
i honestly doubt he wass!
okay i’m done.

It doesn’t surprise me it’s New York. I love New York but it is starting to get a reputation for not being concern about their Black citizens. More than likely it is a cost issue over color issue but sometimes it just makes you wonder.

Couldn’t said it better myself bro! Thanks for writing such a spot on intelligent response. When I read the description of 50 as a prophet I was thinking whoever wrote this is a lost one. Hopefully they will introduce themselves to the work of some of the names you mentioned as well as check out Phil Valentine or Dr. Jewel Pookum. Much Respect!

Brother in Spirit

Okay, 50 may not be a prophet and neither was Tupac or Biggie but they are still human beings just controversial ones. 50 was not able to come back to the hood because things he did in the beginning and the people he wronged. He now owns Baisley Park and I ask myself why? That’s where the trouble is, all up and down through Southside Jamaica. Just because some of those people he wronged are locked up, someone is going to try him if he comes back. And it is foolishness what the NYPD is saying. They can protect him if they wanted to but 50 knows he has to protect himself and have his own crew. I just hope by doing so he doesn’t get into trouble for this.

50 cent is neither a prophet nor a leader he is an successful rap star that asks for trouble and when trouble comes knocking people want to blame the police. The police can do there job and protect him but there not, so he has to either hire his own protection or not do the show.
And in respond to writer Isis wisdom why would u ask if black men are cowards if a black would have done what u would have wanted them to do and jump in then that could have givin the police a just reason to kill another black man, now what is his kids, parents, wife/girlfriend to do then. Those black men did the most responsible thing at that time and record the incident so it can be worked out in the courtroom!

Let me see if I got this straight: Gangsta rapper who hypes getting shot 8-9 times is looking for police protection in his own hood? If you live by the sword, you die by the sword; I believe is the expression.

The easiest thing to do: Don’t do the free concert.

I say if 50 wants protection he should pay like every other celeb. Further more he should not be doing a free concert unless it is positive in nature, Do we not have enough wanna be pimps, thugs, killers and gansters? If your expendable then you get knocked off as expendable. Ask all the drug dealers, gansters, pimps, hoes, useless rappers who only care about making a buck and not for our children and elderly. For the person who thought that black men are cowards for not doing anything when the police slammed the elderly lady, I don’t believe that. I believe that in general we all have to take responsibility for that because in one way or another we all have made the matrix possible. We have let the police beat and brutalize us since the beginning. Instead of crying over injustice, Rapppers rap about injustice, peace, tranquility. Thats what are children need good direction then we can raise up strong lawyers, judges, cops, doctors, teachers, nutritionist, astronots ect. As long as we are and being made to look expendible they will always murder, rape, undermind, seperate, conquor, hardball, tax/take oh and they will take or tax the hell out of your money thats what the whole Vick thing was about(Negro break bread). And dont think for a second that they give a s**t about animals. They breed them for slaughter and not even treat them as if they had a right to live just because its going to end up on your dinner plate. You could not pay me to eat meat or dairy.

Wow its some green ass people on here. I bet if you mutha f**kas seen it was beyonce or some singer or irl y’all be like give her some protection but because its hard ass 50 you niggas want be green like that……………nuff said man yall shady (Oh n i dont even like the nigga that much but regardless i know wrong when i see it!)

“On Redemption Song, Bob Marley sang “How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?” I WOULD HAVE TO AGREE,THEY KILLED MICHEAL JACKSON, JUST AS WELL AS THEY KILLED JIMMY HENDRIX AND JIMMY HENDRIX MURDER CASE WAS ON VH1 AND THE FEDS DID IT AND THAT WAS LIKE 30 SOMETHING YEARS AGO OR MORE AND WHEN THAT SILENT ASSASIN TOOK PLACE,HOW LONG FOR US TO FIGURE OUT THEY KILLED MICHEAL JACKSON WITH OUT US BELIEVING WHAT THEY TELL US ON THE MEDIA? THIS IS BESIDES THE MURDERS THE POLICE CARRY OUT IN FRONT OF OUR OWN EYES AND WE DO NOTHING ABOUT IT,AND BESIDES TUPAC,BIGGIE,JAM MASTER JAY,LET ALONE THE DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE,BUT GO TO CHURCH AND PRAY TO SOME BLON HAIRED BLUE EYES JESUS THAT THEY TOLD US TO PRAY TO SINCE SLAVERY AND TOLD US WE WOULD GO TO HEAVEN IF WE WERE GOOD SLAVES AND PICK COTTON AND GROUT THE BRICKS FOR OUR OWN PRISON CELL BLOCKS BECAUSE THATS WHAT JESUS WANTS!!
THEY WILL TELL US ITS GODS WILL TO KILL FOR THEY’RE ARMY,BUT WHEN BUT WHEN THEY KILL THEY GET BARS, STRIPES HONORS AND BADGES AND MERITS,I THINK WE SHOULD RIDE ON THE POLICE, FUNNY HOW ALL THE GUNS END UP IN OUR HOODS AND WE DONOT OWN AN GUN MANUFACTURERS AND ON TOP OF THAT WE USE THEM FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS, WHEN THEY IMPLIMENT THIS MARSHAL LAW WE ARE GOING TO BE THE ONES WHO ARE GOING TO BE ON THE MAIN EXTERMINATION LIST, US AND LATINOS, THEY PRACTICED ALL THE FOUL PROCEDURES IN HURRICANE KATRINA SHOOTING INNOCENT BLACK MEN IN THE BACK, BLACK PEOPLE WAKE THE F**K UP!!!! AND F**K BORACK SAMMY DAVIS JR OBAMA!!HE ‘S A HOUSE NEGROE IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND HE’S DICK CHENNEYS SENCOND COUSIN AND HE’S FULL OF IT JUST LIKE BUSH IS, BECAUSE IF THAT NGGA DONT FOLLOW THE SCRIPT JUST LIKE THE KENNEDYS HE WILL BE DEAD!!WAKE UP ALL YOU AUNT JIMIMAS’ AND UNCLE TOMS’, AMERICA IS RAN BY SATAN AND IS GENETICAL OFFSPRINGS ARE ALL RUNNING THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE WORLD AS WELL!!

50 cent is i agree a prophet- a prophet of doom, this article is so damaging and regressive any neo fascist white supremacist would be proud, how many youngsters fantasize about gettin rich or die tryin because of him, how many of our men see his brand of manhood and what it means to be a black man and adopt it, dont get me wrong but where are the articles on our babies dying everyday while this poison music and corrupt immoral attitudes of money,women,killin,pimpin is ever more pushed onto impressionable minds, 50 can afford a ring of armed guards i save my sympathy for the next young brother that finds himself being chased down and killed for a lifestyle that 50 cent is gettin rich off of but others are dyin for want of tryin, peace

50 can afford his own security. We’re in a recession

now i look at some of these comments and what i see is if you are african american you guys haven’t learn anything through the years and that is look around you and see that this is a modern day slavary but this time the white man isn’t killing you he’s letting you do it for him so he doesn’t get his hands dirty, so now you have so dude want to make a name for him or herself and the after you take out that brother or sister do you think you gonna get a name yeah on your tombstone cause you are a loose end cause snitching is very common now with so call thugs.now my point is 50 should know better and don’t get me wrong it’s kinda cool that he wants to give a free concert but if he’s a so call prophet then he should pratice what he preach and that is in one of his song and that is THE DEES JUST ARREST ME CAUSE THEY KNEW WHO I WAS so if they knew who he was then they definately know who you are now and that is he makes more money in a day than they make in 2 or 3 years and that was the case with tupac and biggie and jay. come on people like chris rock said they can find saddam in a f**king hole in iraq and they can’t find pac, biggie or jay’s murder? look all i’m saying is if i was 50 i would say f**k it cause you all know the NYPD would be happy to see another RICH black man dead.
p.s. look at other races in music see if they got beef with each other and if they do you don’t hear about it.

The United States Supreme Court has ruled more than once that a police department has no responsibility to protect anyone. Rulings such as these are the main reasons why I can’t understand the rational of antigunners. Only a fool would advocate tougher gun laws which have nothing to do with guns anyway and more to do with a hatred of freedom. The prosecution and persecution of Plaxico is why I will probably never visit IL, NY, D.C.,CA, and a few other places where left winged legislation is out of control. Liberals are always talking about civil rights when it comes to all the awful stuff that we can do without but no one says anything about states and municipalites that take rights away that were given by the Constitution. The police are probably hoping to catch him in a school zone with a gun or something.

I am glad I live in a state where I can carry a loaded gun in my vehicle without a permit amd my state HAS to issue a concealed weapon permit to anyone who is not a felon or convicted of a domestic crime who asks for one.

F*ck these freedom haters, I will keep my Black ass down here where we are free, the people are nice, and the asses grow thick, round, and wide! When will the people of New York stand up for there rigt to protect themselves? Maybe he needs to hire some moonlighting federal agents to protect him and see if NYPD will try to take their guns!

bondsman i totally agree with you

Firstly,without considering anything,i have to say,it is stupid to even remotely suggest that 50 Cent is a prophet.Secondly,he boldly provokes people.This means that he could have police swarming him and still not have a 100% guarantee of protection.The police knows that he is one of the most popular antagonists ever,and so admits that cant help him if someone with a grude comes after him.He knows this too,which is why the performs with teflon on his chest! Nobody could really protect 50 cent.

Bondsman I also agree with you. I just hate the fact that I live in a state that does NOT allow me the right, to carry a gun unless it’s at home! We all need protection if the police is refusing to protect us! Anyways my opinion on 50 is, hire your own guards and also carry your own piece because, unfortunately we have to depend on ourselves before we depend on anyone else!

RK:

You must be relatively young and/or very naive. When has the police ever looked out for the betterment of the black community? Look at whats going on out in California (i.e. Bay Area, L.A.). Police officers have been basically given the green light to shoot & kill African-Americans they ‘suspect’ are criminals. In fact, many of our young brothas have been killed by law enforcement officials w/out suffering any repurcussions for their actions. What makes rappers any different? Not quite sure if you know, but every high profile rapper has DEA agents assigned to them – watching their every move. When they (rappers) do something that is a cause for concern (i.e. TI purchasing large quantities of firearms), guess who’s right there on the spot? The Men in Blue. They could care less about Biggie, Tupac, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Luda, Lil Wayne or any other rapper you can conjure up. More importantly, they could care less about you or me. As for the Police motto “Protect & Serve”. Bullsh*t! Motto is only applicable if you are a white male/female. Otherwise, it is “seek and destroy”.

I don’t know why anyone is surprised by this. Now if 50 showed up with guns they would be trying to arrest him, but they won’t try and protect him? What is really going on in this world. NOw as far as black men not stepping in when the old lady got slammed, if you seen the video, the lady did have a knife in her hand and was slammed by a lady cop. I dont’ think the cops needed to slam her that hard bcz she was an old lady but she also did have a knife. I think they shoudl have grabbed her from behind and took the knife instead. We won’t be able to end racism, not in our lifetime, there is too many racist ppl that exist.

Why are you trying to inflame the public? Their obligated to give control and order. 50 is just gonna have to come out of pocket and pay for security. Inflaming people shame on ya, especially to old woman deal when you don’t tell the it like it was only hurts everyone. The old lady had a knife you good at writing an article be good at writing the truth.

I don’t see the point for rappers to have beef with each other, sure make your music beefi with the other but the end of the day shake hands and say we cool we just trying to sell records. If the police want protect a multi-millionarie what makes us think they will protect us. I say F the police cause they al about the money and power they have. Here recently all you see on the news is another police beating somebody that did no wrong. I do not respect police officers they are racist, in my area it’s a mixture black and white they still take forever to get here.

*******50*******#1 I LOVE U!! I’M A PRAY FOR UR SAFTEY!! GOD IS WITH YOU ALWAYS!BUT U NEED 2 HIRE UR OWN SECURITY JUST LIKE PRESIDENT*** Y NOT FLY IN ON A HELICOPTER AND FLY OUT!!! GET IN AND GET OUT!!! WHERE A VEST UNDER UR SHIRT,{MEDIA IS MESSED UP FOR THIS HEADLINE AND COPS NEED 2 CALL MORE IN TO SUPPORT THE SAFETY OF NOT ONLY YOU BUT ALSO UR FANS} YOU WILL BE FINE AS ALWAYS!!!!!..I WISH I COULD BE THERE 2 SEE YOU, U SHOULD HAVE PEOPLE SELLING UR VITAMIN WATER,CD’S, AND SHIRTS OUT THIER CAUSE U KNOW ITS GONNA BE HOT!!…….LOVE YOU ALWAYS…………..BLISS23

Your headline is a lie. You idiots are always misleading people.

Yo 50 aint gonna be out there with out protection. he aint stupid. if dudes try to hit him,they gonna have to do it wild wild west style. nobody gonna be able to just walk up on him. secondly, f**k the police, they dont give a rats ass 50. he better be ready to protect his own life. every body acting all scared.

I HAD TO COPY AND PASTE EBORMISG’S COMMENT..IT IS BANG ON!!!!! COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER!!!

I COULD CARE LESS! LET HIM PAY FOR HIS PROTECTION. HE TALKS A LOT OF S**T- FO LET HIM MAN UP!!

Keep your head up! you will be alright (GOD) is wacthing over you.

God Bless you!

wow the 50 cent thing is just publicity he is trying to gain from his dead career.

I am writing cos the story about the old black lady getting her head slammed on a car, is disturbing. We all know what happens to brotha,s when they mess with the police.

Here’s the real outrage…that you would compare 50 to not only great ARTISTS like Tupac and Biggie, but that you liken him to a prophet?! A crackhead would be considered more of a prophet than 50. And for all 50 Cent’s boasting of how gangsta he is and how he “still will kill” why should we care if the police won’t protect him? He doesn’t need to rap anymore anyways ’cause there’s nothing more for him to rap about. He ran out of material as soon as he received his check from the Coca-Cola buyout of Vitamin Water. If anything he has been digging his own grave ever since he threatened named stars on “How to Rob.” So for someone to come and put the final nail in the coffin, it won’t be because of inadequate or unwilling police protection. Good luck Fif, and “check yourself before you wreck yourself,” and “protect ya neck”.

Dear Heavenly Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit in the Presence of all the Heavenly Host, Thank you for this opportunity to pray for 50 cents and all the African American brothers. Reading this stirred me up and I had to do what I do, whenever anything stirs me up. I have to surrender my thoughts, words and actions into your most capable hands. Please intervene and spare 50 cent’s life and please intervene and stop the injustices all people everywhere have had to endure. Please remove from authority all who are corrupt. Please remove the influence of evilness and wickedness in the spiritual realm so that only your righteousness will shine through. From what I understand about 50 cent you already saved his life before and perhaps many times more than what I know. Please bless him so him and his loved ones will glorify you. All things happen so that You and your Son (Jesus Christ) will be glorified. John 11:4 Thank you I know this to be true in my own life. Thank you truly for NewsOne.com a place where perhaps I can express my love and concern for everyone in their times of need. I Jesus Name, Amen (So Let It Be said, So Let It Be Done)

I meant, “In Jesus Name’ Amen

I dont really care for the rapper named after change for a dollar, but I see a problem here. Police are saying to the media that they cannot control the area?? What the hell?? You don’t say that bullsh*t!!

THAT’S BULLSHI’ WHAT ARE THE POLICE FOR OTHERTHAN CONTROLINGTHE PUBLIC

It’s very typical how police say “they can’t control the area” when describing 50 Cent’s old Queens neighborhood. It’s like they’re saying “They’re all animals. Let the populace eat their young.”

Actions of some, bad cops always sully the good cops doing right by the community they’ve sworn to protect. These so-called officers are undeserving of the badges they received from vending machines.

[...] OPINION: Police Give “OK” To Killing 50 Cent TAGS: 50 Cent, hip hop, Hip Hop Violence, New York Share and Enjoy: [...]

I feel what this article is saying, rappers can’t carry protection on them in NYC obviously. They will just get “randomnly” pulled over and searched then thrown in prison. So wtf are they supposed to do when the police won’t even offer to help??

FYI yall are some haters @incasola etc..

according to 50 himself “he’s a bad a**” so what does he need the police for. he has been rapping for years about how bad he is and what he has done so why is he afraid now? you reap what you sow 50 cent. you sowed all that hate through your music and now it’s time to reap your reward. and please don’t ever compare him to TUPAC again!!!
