BOYCOTT "Get Rich or Die Trying"

by F**k thug crap! Tuesday, Nov. 08, 2005 at 4:24 PM

50 Cent that ain't worth one needs to be boycotted by the Black Community for disrespecting it by promoting Brothers killing other Brothers

BOYCOTT movies by thug-crappers that promote Black against Black violence! Can't you here the KKK, nazi thugs and other racists applauding every time a Black Man kills another over such trival B*** S*** as money, drugs and turf?

Thug rap is crap! What happened to REAL HIP-HOP like Sista Souljah, Chuck D and Public Enemy, Zack de la Rocha? Paging Sista Souljah-grab a mic and report to the nearest stage ASAP, like TODAY! We need you! Why don't you and Chuck D collaborate to do a movie projecting the Black Community in a POSITIVE WAY-as a counter-balance to the B*** S*** coming from two-bit thug crappers like 50 Cent(that ain't worth one)! S**T, even Eminem could help out(and he ain't even Black!).

Thug crappers cater to KKKrackers!

BOYCOTT "Get Rich or Die Tryin'"!

You're against Rap Music?

by Ignatius Tuesday, Nov. 08, 2005 at 5:11 PM

Then you HAVE to be a racist! You are trying to keep our brothers from keepin' it real! This is the authentic voice of the Black Community! Representing the actual 'hood!

Ahhh, that felt good. No, but seriously, where do YOU think the line should be drawn between Fifty Cent and Sistah Souljah?

If you think KKKorporate AmeriKKKa's image is "real"

by F**K thug rap! Tuesday, Nov. 08, 2005 at 6:36 PM

Feeding racist AmeriKKKa's "images" of the Community is NOT being "real"-

Just a KKKorporate thug crapper!

F**k that S**t!

Ignorance

I am against 50 Cent new film and the Black Community needs to boycott and demonstrate that we will not accept images of unneccessary violence in our communities anymore. As a community we can no longer support rappers like 50 Cent, whose entire image is violence. He is nothing more than a modern day minstrel show glorifying violence and ignorance. He offers no value to the community at all. It is disgusting to support someone that glorifies his own personal history of violence instead of standing up to be a real man and showing youth that there are alternative to the mistakes he made. There is no way that I would drop a dime on a man that glorifies violence and ignorance.

No I am not against Hip Hop, but this modern day “thug” sh#t is simply retarded. Get over the baggy pants (did you know the origin came from men in prison who would wear oversized pants after being raped? ), spinning rims, bling bling mentality. 50 Cent is a joke—he is not representative of the Hip Hop movement. Remember Self Destruction (KRS-One, Stetsasonic, Kool Moe Dee, MC Lyte, Just-Ice, Doug E. Fresh, Heavy D, Public Enemy, Ms. Melodie)? Hip Hop was becoming too positive and socially conscious so 50 Cent was thrown in to counteract.

50 Cent will continue to be glorified because he is a token ni**er used by corporate America to incite more violence and continue to break down the image of the black man. Ignorance supports ignorance.

50 Cent, Capitalist Sambo

by johnk Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2005 at 12:15 AM

I recently got turned on to Tracy James of Slave Revolt Radio (it's on radio.indymedia.org). His analysis is spot on.

During the end of slave times, white people created the myth of the happy slave and buffoon. This buffoon slave was always coming up with schemes to make some money, to get shiny shoes or some other stuff. He was a caricature of white consumerism projected onto what they considered the "savage African."

Later, this stereotype was recapitualated (in the 1950s) on the Amos n Andy show, where two white men played a pair of "coons", one "smart" and one "dumb", who would get into comical messes. Sometimes, the themes would involve opening some kind of business.

Today, we see this steretype played out in caricatures like 50 Cent, the bling bling hip hop genre, and even racial stereotypes like Apu on the Simpsons (who isn't black, but brown). It's not just racial, but also about class. It's about what class determines the representations of race, and how these representations are allowed to participate within the class structure.

I'm mostly just repeating what James is saying here. He's right, and a lot of the older folks mocking this kind of hip hop are right.
