NYPD: 50 cent is a marked man, there are homicides linked to his crew; we want DIRT

[Taikun]

It appears whenever NYPD arrests a rapper they are asked about their affiliation with 50 cent...and NYPD have encouraged these rappers to set 50 cent up...

After the gun was discovered, Prodigy and Alchemist were arrested and interrogated, though each claims he was barely questioned about the weapon. " 'We'll let you go right now if you help us get a bust on 50 Cent,' " Prodigy says the police urged him. " 'Help us set him up. Get him to buy some drugs from you. Plant something in his car.' I was sitting there bugging. They want to bring 50 down because he's filthy rich, and they're pissed off because he used to be involved in all kinds of street ****."

[NYPD] asked me all kinds of crazy questions and knew all types of stuff about rap," Alchemist says. "They were like, 'Do you know anything about who shot Fabolous? Do you know anything about 50?' It was just ridiculous."

Ja Rule were pulled over separately and taken in upon leaving the performance. "When [NYPD] locked me up in New York, they asked me about 50 Cent, G-Unit, and no ****ing gun or weed like they made it look like on TV," a heated Weezy explained during an interview for Vibe magazine.

Reports claimed that both rappers were in possession of .40-caliber pistols, and that one of Wayne's associates was found flushing half a pound of marijuana down the toilet. But at the time, Wayne says the [NYPD] cops didn't consider that important. "They ain't ask me a damn thing about no gun or no weed. That could have been the gun that shot Kennedy, they didn't give a ****! All they wanted to know was, 'So what's the beef with you and 50 Cent? You and Jay-Z?' "

"A number of these stops of late, they're not legitimate," says attorney Stacey Richman, who's representing both Lil' Wayne and Ja Rule. "They'll arrest a lesser person within a well-known person's group and threaten them for information. People forget that the police are allowed to lie to you—that's a legitimate investigative technique. It's frightening and unpalatable to the public, but the fact of the matter is, they can do that."

"50 is the big man right now," says Derrick Parker. "There's a lot of homicides out here that are linked to 50's crew, and if you can get somebody like him, it's a bonus prize."

i know the link has been posted before...but my discussion for my thread is:

is the NYPD doing something right? should there be justice? or should it be stopped? Or are rich black guys just being targeted here?

thoughts?

[siccinthehead]

i think the only homicides linked to 50 cents crew are those of g-unit,

he killed the careers of lloyd banks, young buck, olivia, MOP, and mase.

never before have so many careers been killed at 1 label in such a quick time.

[Jada's Mother]

Well if theres no proof 50 sendin dudes to hit n1ggas sh1t is frivolous. "Even if you're pushing a benz, you're still a *****...in a coupe"

If he is, then he's following the footprints of Preme of the one that got away and they're gonna be on his ass...

[re'up]

I'm sure 50 done a fair amount of dirt, or had it done, since he got on. they won't get him though.

"they call me a snitch because they think that by them doing that that no one will expect them to be the ones snitching on me, thats what they do. the cops know my wrapsheet, they been tryin to put me away for life since i was 17. they probably think i'm just out here muscling all these little rapper guys" 50 Cent, 2003

[stillaboss]

of course they're targeting rich blacks.

He isn't street....he is a pop star.

The cops are targeting him for sh*t he did like 15 years ago. If you seriously think 50, who is worth $200-300 mill, living in a mansion in Connecticutt with hired body guards, is still "in the streets"....well if you believe that it speaks for itself.

Fred.

but to deny that he has ties to all that same activity he was once involved with is just as silly. well, not as silly but its pretty damn close. you dont just become a rapper and then BOOM, all your street affiliations/beefs just disappear and you are now a backstreet boy, :dry:, thats not how it works. you may live like a A-lister but at the end of the day you still are what you are. he's only been removed from the life for what? 6 years? come on.

'but but 50 is a millionaire hundred times over it would be stupid for him to be involved in street shyt.' Same difference. Which is it?
lol @ u w/ a king smiley face, hop off seriously.

[jayshiggs]

Also he told Feds he feared for his life from Preme, which they brought up @ the Murda Inc. trial. He definitely snitched, he may not be a long-term informer but when shyt got thick he told.

[AskariSTL//So]

How can anyone read this and not walk away feeling like most cops are racist as fukc?

Clearly the NYPD and other law enforcement groups feel all black folks, or at least all rappers, are conspiring with each other, like we all just sit down in some big ass meeting and plot out who does what...

Like Lil Kim will handle distribution, Coolio will take care of the lawyers, and Ludacris will sell the product to children.

Prodigy must know about all kinds of dirt on Fabolous right? Because all these black rappers are part of one big crew thats commiting savage acts of violence accross the country and represent an imminent threat to the public.

You just cannot get the benefit of the doubt if you are a certain kind of person I guess.

SMH @ the authorities having already tried, convicted, and executed us in the back of thier minds. It truly just seems like a game to them sometimes. How can we fukcing infiltrate the community and turn these negroes against each other.

I may think Prodigy is a damned hood fool who flaps his gums too much but props to him not being a huasa if even half of this is true.

You try to cooperate and understand and get along with "the other side" and this is what you get.

2008 and the government's attempts to turn us on one another until were all dead or in jail just have not fukcing stopped.

Dog, all these rappers talk extensively about doing dirt in their records. Like the fans the cops think it cannot be all bullshyt.
Yes, police institutions are racist but don't act like they are targets for no reason at all.
P got interrogated cause he committed a crime, he had an illegal weapon. He didn't get dragged in for no reason.

[RandyBodek]

Also he told Feds he feared for his life from Preme, which they brought up @ the Murda Inc. trial. He definitely snitched, he may not be a long-term informer but when shyt got thick he told.

preme said he feared for his life from 50 in that vibe article, he said thats why he was going around using an alias because he's been getting "threats". who do you believe?

[jayshiggs]

preme said he feared for his life from 50 in that vibe article, he said thats why he was going around using an alias because he's been getting "threats". who do you believe?

Uh yer missing the point. 50 told the feds, that's the definition of snitching. I don't read Vibe but I imagine this interview you speak of was after Preme got knocked or convicted it was a done issue. And he told a reporter not a cop. Big difference.

[RandyBodek]

I don't read Vibe but I imagine this interview you speak of was after Preme got knocked or convicted it was a done issue. And he told a reporter not a cop. Big difference.

see, dont "imagine". preme's lawyer told the judge while preme was standing right there. judge wanted to know why he was staying in hotels and getting airplane tickets under false names and his lawyer told the judge and presented evidence to back the claim that supreme was getting death threats and feared for his life so he was being extra careful. makes sense since out of nowhere he started going to the firing range, LOL. shook one.

yo, speakin of dead careers...whatever happened to smurf & domo? i'm actually curious cuz i haven't heard there names in years...& i forgot about them til now & wonder if they're still doin it....domo was actually kinda nice.

I understand that man, like I said, these rappers like P talk to damned much, and Im sure if you really wanted to you could find enough reasons to want to lock them up or interrogate them.

But I really feel in alot of these cases there is an ulterior motive.

The fact that they are using sideways techniques and pressuring people to turn on their crews, actively recruiting informants within hip hop, smacks of the same sort of tactics police and law enforcement officials have used in this country for years to assasinate characters and destroy cohesiveness and trust in urban communities and social movements.

COINTELPRO and organizations like it present a threat that is very real. These people spied on, harrased, and even went so far as to frame or murder civil rights leaders, activists, or whoever they could to use as a psychological weapon against minorities.

The government is known to monitor black celebrities and entertainers, and the fact that many law enforcement organizations have put together special task forces to investigate and profile these people should be seen for what it is. A deliberate and negative focus on our communities, by people who will twist and bend or even outright violate the law in the pursuit of bringing us down.

It was during his trial? So it was after he got knocked, thanks for confirming.
See Preme stayed in different hotels and was extra careful but he didn't run to the police. Call him shook but not a snitch like some people. lol

so 50 Cent ran to police is what you're saying? they didn't run to him and ask him a milion and one questions like im sure they were doing to preme too, it was HIM running to them to talk? do you really truly believe that? honestly? how old are you man? lol @ 50 Cent running to the precinct and them lookin at him like :hmm: and him just saying out of nowhere "i fear for my life!!!!!". come on, are you irv gotti?

See yer going overboard. P had a gun and who killed Busta's bodyguard? I heard it was a G Unit associate. Therefore cops are just doing their job trying to catch murderers.
You can bytch when someone innocent in Hip hop gets locked up. Otherwise these dummies are bringing it on themselves by dry snitching on record how they get down in the street.
Notice Will I Am, Mos Def, Talib, etc. and all other MCs not going out of their way bragging about criminal activity stay out of the interrogation room.

I don't know who came to who, does it matter? The proof just says he told the Feds he was shook of Preme and that Murda Inc. was a front for Preme's illegal activity.

I'm sure he has ties, same as any other rapper. It doesn't change the fact that they are trying to hem him up for sh*t he obviously did a long, long time ago. Along side that I'm assuming there is an element of racism involved, since he's a successful black man.

Either way, he's not "in the streets" now, regardless of who he knows. He's worth $300 mill and lives in Connecticut, he doesnt' sell crack he sells Vitamin Water. It is what it is.

Well, we just got a difference of opinion man.

To me its not necessarily about the guilt of the individuals we're talking about here, its the glimpse into law enforcement's mentality that anecdotes like these provide.

I dont think everytime a rapper gets arrested and questioned its a conspiracy. I was glad to see C-Murder's ass get put where he belonged.

The thing is, people like Will I Am are monitored too or questioned as well. John Lennon, of all people, was monitored, spied on, had his phones tapped. They had files on that man that would fill an office. They could have told you what that son of a b!tch ate the night he died. Mr. "all you need is love" was treated as a dangerous radical.

All I'm saying is this, If you are hung up on the possibility that people that are not from your walk of life, or race, or political leanings are dangerous elements that need to be kept in check, you're going to end up going overboard.

And for all their faux concern, where are Biggie and Pac's killers? One of the few answers that has been made available is that the LAPD was involved in a cover up. Followed homeboy around, watching who he was with and where he went and even what color his damned sweat socks were and suddenly, they know nothing?

agreed. i dont think anybody really believes that though. at least i cant believe that anybody does. lol @ 50 still being in "the hood" wit his gun on, sellin crack, :dry:. 50 Cent aint probably been back in the hood without a camera crew since he's been rich.

[AskariSTL//So]

i think the only homicides linked to 50 cents crew are those of g-unit,

LOL, in retrospect, where else would G-Unit be than Aftermath? Its such a fitting choice.

[Tetris v2.0]

They won't knock 50 just how they can't knock Jay, Master P, Puff etc. These guys are so far removed from the actual dirt that may be going on from ppl in their circle that, combined with their financial situation, theyre basically untouchable.

this aint about nothin that was done 15 years ago homie, they on his a$$ becuase of niccas in the crew that are still in the streets and doing street sh1t and claimin g unit

[Larry David]

some of you niccaz are ridiculously stupid...

50 isnt gangsta anymore cause he has a mansion in conneticut???

you think cops are trying to take him down just because he sold crack 10 years ago????

are you nicccaz fukkin stupid???

any nicca can walk up to someone in the street and shoot them.....those niccaz aint gangsta....those niccaz are stupid. Those are the pawns....those are the little toy soldiers.

You think mob crime bosses are out livin in the projects rollin up on niccaz with pistols??? Hell no...them niccaz are chillin back in their mansion on some godfather ****. do you niccaz understand how many soldiers 50 has? do you niccaz understand the affiliation he has???? 50s dream wasnt to be a rap star.....50s dream was to be preme.

i mean who you gonna believe....jayshiggs from sohh.com or the NYPD that are trying to set up 50 cent because his crews are linked to multiple homicides??

i mean cmon son.

[hubcapnips]

they wouldn't target 50 just beccause he's rich. 50 is definitely a boss and is probably behind a lot of body's being found on green leaf with there ****ing heads cut off.

Real talk.

[Puerto Rican Gary]

Being tied to criminals don't make you street or a tough guy. Looka t how you all try and hate on Irv and Ja when they rolled with Tah Murdah and Black Child and Supreme , but you call tehms osft, but 50's "crew" supposedly killed peopel and that solidifies his gangster.

I think you been listeing to 50's raps a bit too much, if you think he's anything other than a legit business man in '08. :laugh: at the mob boss comparison....50 knows/has known people who do dumb sh*t, they continue to do dumb sh*t, and since they're small fish, the cops obviously would rather focus on tying the things they do to 50. It's as simple as that.

And no, we don't know how many soldiers he has....neither do you. All I know is, this is the same 50 who went to cops talking about "I fear for my life", the same 50 that told cops "if you want to know who shot me, check my raps"....stop acting like he's Tony Soprano or some sh*t.

Fred.

[sicc2def]

WTF your on some bull**** right now. the feds didn't say anything like that. when 50 got shot it wasn't even a fed beef homie stop making **** up. the feds wanted to put 50 on the stand but his lawyer blocked that **** and the jugde killed it

[reallyreal]

is the NYPD doing something right?
lol was that a joke there 1 of the most corrupt police departments out there
