Rappers Sued For Being Too Gangsta

04/10/2008
.
(antiMusic) It's now time to play the hip-hopcrisy game! Get this, 50 Cent and Yayo are being sued for promoting the "gangsta lifestyle". Wait, this gets better! Guess who is suing him? The son of The Game's manager, Jimmy "Henchman" Rosemond.

Before we continue, you must keep in mind that The Game was the same rapper who bestowed these pearls of "anti" gansta wisdom upon us, "Real gangstaz stand up, hold they d*ck / Bitch niggaz sit down to piss, what type of nigga is you? / I'm the type to pack a gat or few / Pull out and pop, simply cause I'm mad at you... The kid roll with a greasy nine, come through and blast / I return shots like Arthur Ashe / You do the math, ten shots, ten dead bodies / F**k bein sorry, it ain't nuttin but a gangsta party." Hip-hopcrisy at it's finest.

Seems that 14-year-old "Henchman" Jr. blames Fiddy for a beatdown he suffered. E reports, "Per court documents filed Wednesday, James Rosemond claims he was jumped by G-unit rapper Yayo and three other men in March 2007 because he was wearing a Czar Entertainment T-shirt—Czar being the management company that represents The Game, one of 50 Cent's sworn nemeses. And although Fiddy, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, wasn't at the scene, Rosemond and mother Cynthia Reed contend that the 'gangsta lifestyle' he promotes through his music and public image led to the assault....The attack on the younger Rosemond was intended to 'promote and maintain Yayo and 50 Cent's "gangsta' image,"' which has been 'promoted, marketed and advertised' by their record labels, the complaint states." - Before you run off and call your congressional representative and demand tort reform, read E!'s full report for more ammo.
