Rapper 50 Cent: "I'll Say Faggot All Day..."

Rapper 50 Cent, who is no stranger to controversy himself, told CNN this week that he’d use the word “faggot” all day.

His reasoning, “It’s like bad meaning good.  The same way they use Nigger.”

While 50 Cent has no problem hurling the “F” and “N” words, I bet he wouldn’t use a derogatory term to describe Jews, no matter what the context because he isn’t that stupid.  But when it comes to his own people, he, like so many others, have no problem using racially and sexually offensive language.

50 Cent and other brothers and sisters who suffer from this backward ass thinking that it’s ok to use a word because the intent is different will be the reason why our children (notice I said our children because other races don’t condone the use of words like bitch, ho, and etc. as acceptable language under any circumstances) will grow up thinking that it’s ok to use these words amongst each other and out in the real world.

Working in Compton right near a high school, every day around 3 p.m. I am inundated with the nasty mouths of students walking past our office.

One day while my colleague and I were talking, a group of young girls were talking loudly outside our office when we heard one of the girls shout, “Hey ho, come here.  You better get used to answering to ho because that’s what you are.”

Can you imagine someone addressing you as a ho and telling you that you better get used to answering to that name?

That’s the real world affects of words like 50 Cent's and the power and influence that rappers and others have over our children.

Now 50 Cent believes that the intent means everything when using a word like the “F” word.  But I want to know who does he think he’s fooling?  It’s a widely known fact that the “F” word is used as a derogatory term amongst Black men and can sometimes be fighting words.  You don’t hook up with your boy and say “Hey faggot.”  No, you call your boy the “F” word when you’re trying to clown him.

Let’s not forget the Busta Rhymes incident in Miami where he said to his bodyguard, after being accosted by who he assumed was a gay fan, “'I hate fucking faggots, man.”

What do you suppose was the intent there?

And then what about his use of the “F” word in the remix of remix of rapper Busta Rhymes’ hit single “Touch It?”  Busta clearly says “Fuck you faggot, I shot at you!”

Now at the end of the day 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, and other rappers are only following the money.  The more derogatory and hateful they are with their lyrics, the happier the executives get because they know it sells and it sells fast.  So in affect, while it is the artists themselves who are to blame for using the language, it’s also a clear indication as to what type of society we are promoting. 

50 Cent's explanation of why it’s ok to use derogatory terms is both as ridiculous and embarrassing as it is dangerous.  But not that he cares.  He doesn’t have to live with the affects of his words anymore now that he’s made it and moved out of the neighborhood, but we still do.

Why can't people just smoke a joint and forget about name calling and materialistic goods.

50 Cent is a S.O.B. Who does he think he is? So what if his mom was gay or whatever. I heard he wouldn't sing with Elton John because he's gay and that he has said himself that he hates gay fans. Idiot and asshole if I've ever seen one. Elton John ROX!

A cancer has been unleashed up American Society, in the form of what some people call entertainment, and it is destroying the youth culture. The cancer that I am talking about is called RAP. The rap crap that I am dealing with in this article is the hip-hop gangsta rap, so let’s get that straight right up front. This type of rap is shocking lyrics performed by thugs, gangsters, thieves, junkies, dopers, dope pushers, perverts, cop killers and baby killers. The leader of this pack of low-life’s that record this garbage, is a street thug punk white boy who goes by the name of faggot Enimen. He encourages young people to kill, commit suicide, and do drugs among several other sins. In one song, “Slim Shady” he becomes bisexually obsessed with his favorite singer and keeps sending him email telling him they should be together. The letters go unanswered, so he locks his pregnant girlfriend in the trunk of his car, and drives off a bridge killing himself, the girlfriend, and the unborn baby. You can hear the girl screaming and pounding on the trunk hood, as the car crashes over a bridge and into the water. Real edifying for today’s youth huh? Then little faggot eminem gives his daddy's penis the nick name of slim shady because it is a descriptive phrase of the kinds of dicks that eminem likes to put into his mouth. Eminem likes to suck dicks that are slim in contour and dark & shady in color. In short, he likes the real slim shady in his big rapper mouth. But what can one expect from someone like faggot eminem after he sucked 8 miles of dicks to make his gay movie, "8 mile blowjob".

On another CD, little faggot Eminem starts it off by saying, “If you don’t like my music I will F**king kill you!” Now I am sure that is what each and every parent want their child to listen to isn’t it? I can just hear the freaks who love this type of music calling the WHAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE and saying, “Yo Dude! That is what the explicit lyrics warning labels on the CD’s are all about, so just chill out homie and if you’re not down with that don’t buy them.” Sorry kid. Those don’t work anymore. Most people download music off the internet these days and those teenagers who still buy CD’s almost never have their parents accompanying them when they shop at the CD stores, so warning labels do no good.

In ’97 Bonnie and Clyde, faggot Eminen sings (if you can call that singing) to his daughter of why her mommy’s body is in the trunk of the car with a stab wound in her throat and tells the kid to watch mommy float as he puts her body in the water. Just what a kid should be listening to huh?

In faggot Eminem’s song “Kill You” he rapes his own mother.

Shut up slut, you’re causin too much chaos
Just bend over and take it like a slut, okay Ma?
“Oh, now he’s raping his own mother, abusing a whore,
snorting coke, and we gave him the Rolling Stone cover?"

Anyone who would buy this CD with this song, or download it, is a sick perverted freak just like scrawney little faggot Eminen and needs to be institutionalized at the funny farm.

Let’s look at a few others of his same ilk.

There is Snoop Dog shit, and NWA (Niggas With Attitude, and the word Nigga is just another spelling of the word NIGGER) for starters. I get hate mail from people telling me nigga is different from nigger. Oh really? Here is the definition:

Nigga is a word which evolved from the derogative term “nigger”. Tupac best defined the distinction between the two.

NIGGER- a black man with a slavery chain around his neck.

NIGGA- a black man with a gold chain on his neck.
Tupac defined the word

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nigga

Either word is the same thing and is disgusting.

I hate printing these but people need to know what their kids are listening to.

Snoop Dog Shit glorifies drug dealing and murder in his songs. Here is just one example:

And Snoop Dogg Shit pass tha mother f**king dolja
I know you mother f**king feel me
C-murder aint gonna die, till a bitch nigga kill me

[Chorus x2]
Kill-kill-kill
Murda-murda-murda
Ain’t nut’in personal tru
See it’s all about respect
Kill-kill-kill
Murda-murda-murda
Im never got slippin
Keep my heat on the dash

Then there is NWA (Niggers With Attitude):

Here are a few explicit lyrics of NWA.

Yo, every bitch I know they wanna get with me
The mothaf**kin’ notorious d-r-e
Spit game at a bitch while a nigger’s around
And you know most ho’s knows not to clown
’cause if a bitch tries to diss me
What the f*ck I lick her
I smack the bitch up and shoot the nigger that’s with her
That’s the kind of nigger that you’re listenin’ to
Talk to you for a minute get my d*ck in you .. yo
Now every single bitch got a price to pay
Up on the d*cks of n.w.a

This filthy disgusting group of street trash thugs refers to women as ho’s (whore’s) and bitches. They even sing about “smack the bitch up!” Where are the Women’s libbers of NOW when it comes to these guys and guys like them? Why aren’t they filing lawsuits against them? I guess NOW only wants to target White Conservative Republicans and leave the “Bad Boy Rapper’s” alone! I promise you that if Arnold Schwarzenegger said “smack your bitch up” they would be filing lawsuit after lawsuit! He would pay dearly! So where are these women when it comes to Rappers who say these things? Hypocrites!

In that one verse alone, the word “nigger” was used three times and even appears in the group name. Black people do not want to be referred to as “niggers” by White people, yet they make CD’s using that word an untold number of times and market the CD to be sold to White kids who put the headphones on and listen to the word “nigger” being drummed into their head over and over and then the Black rappers and people who use that word get all hot under the collar when a White person uses it! Tell me again how White kids should never use racist words? Black rappers and fans of that music who are Black will say “It’s OK for us to call each other that but we better not catch a honky cracker kid using that word!” No, it is NOT OK for anyone to use that word. Great Black heroes such as Rosa Parks, Rev. Wade Watts, Rev. James Bevels, and Dr. Martin Luther King worked hard and made great sacrifices to overcome being referred to as a “nigger.” Martin Luther King would be rolling over in his grave if he could see how some of these rappers who claim to represent the African American community behave!

Here is some outright racism against white people:

“Niggas in the church say: kill whitey all night long. . . . the white man is the devil. . . . the CRIPS and Bloods are soldiers I’m recruiting with no dispute; drive-by shooting on this white genetic mutant. . . . let’s go and kill some rednecks. . . . Menace Clan ain’t afraid. . . . I got the .380; the homies think I’m crazy because I shot a white baby; I said; I said; I said: kill whitey all night long. . . . a nigga dumping on your white ass; f*ck this rap sh*t, nigga, I’m gonna blast. . . . I beat a white boy to the motherf*cking ground”;
“Kill Whitey”; Menace Clan, Da Hood, 1995, Rap-A-Lot Records, Noo Trybe Records, subsidiaries of what was called Thorn EMI and now is called The EMI Group, United Kingdom.

These Rap artists are all hypocrites anyway. They rap about how hard life is in the ghettos and projects, but yet they all live in million dollar houses and drive gold plated BMW’s and Mercedes Benzes. Yes they are really suffering aren’t they? If you are a young person in the ghetto, do you really think Eminen or Snoop Dog cares about you? If your father or mother loses their job and can’t pay the rent, go ask Faggot Eminen or Snoop Dog Shit to help and see what they tell you! They will tell you they are NOT giving you “jack,” but they make millions a year off kids like you who think they’re so cool with what they are saying, yet they couldn’t care less about you. You are just a mark to them to help gather money for their next dope deal or Mercedes.

NWA also encourages killing police officers. Here are the lyrics where they do this:

Ice cube will swarm
On any muthaf*cka in a blue uniform
Just cuz I’m from the cpt, punk police are afraid of me
A young nigger on a warpath
And when I’m finished, it’s gonna be a bloodbath
Of cops, dyin in L.A
Yo dre, I got somethin to say

F**k the police

Smoke any muthaf**ka that sweats me
Or any a**ho that threatens me
I’m a sniper with a hell of a scope
Takin out a cop or two, they can’t cope with me

The muthaf**kin villian that’s mad
With potential to get bad as f**k
So I’m a turn it around
Put in my clip, yo, and this is the sound
Ya, somethin like that, but it all depends on the size of the gat

Takin out a police would make my day
But a nigga like ren don’t give a f**k to say

F**k the police

Music has a very powerful influence on our emotions, moods, and behavior. Rap is not music but that talentless shit influences teenagers negatively by increasing violent attitudes and promoting sexual aggression, rape, and physical abuse against women. Rappers have been killing each other such as in the case of Tupac Shakur, Notorious Big and several others. The example this sets for kids is that if they don’t like someone, go shoot them. Could you even imagine in your wildest dreams, country singers Johnny Cash getting a gun and shooting Buck Owens, or even Alan Jackson gunning down Toby Keith? I think not!

Parents you have a responsibility to help your children clean up their music collection and get that filth out of your children’s room, if your children won’t do it themselves. Rap music is a cancer on the youth, because their lyrics are about drugs, killing cops, acts of perversion, rape, carjacking, party, sex, murders, and abuse of women.

Every day, whether I am traveling in Australia, New Zealand, or here at home in the USA, I am seeing more and more young people imitating their favorite Rap stars and making idols out of them. Young people are using them for role models. We are seeing more and more people, who think they are gangsters, dress in baggy clothing with fake bling-blings. I see more and more kids using that slang ghetto-garbage talk and disrespecting their elders. Their ghetto Ebonics talk makes one look like they are illiterate, stupid, and just plain dumb. Is that how you really want people to view you young people? I should think you would have a little more pride then that! And parents! Do you really want society to view your child that way? And listen up young people! Do you really think you are going to get a decent job anywhere when you talk that trash and wear those stupid looking baggy clothes and fake bling- bling?

The truth is, the Rappers are not only destroying each other, but many police officers, innocent bystanders, and young children have lost their lives at the hands of those who are influenced by rap music. Many women have been raped and killed because of those who fell under the influence of rap music. Get rid of this poison before it kills you too!

As a strait man I promise to support the the endeavors of homosexuals to legalize gay marraige, if they support brothers like myself who feel the need to balance he sexes. When can turn our attention to polygamous couples? My wives and I'll do us all a favor and kick 50's butt.

Some of you people on this site are extremely ignorant. Not that I'm condoning 5 dime's comment, but all these people calling for him to be "outed" need to be ashamed of themselves. None of you have proof that 50 is gay unless you slept with him. So knock it off already....That's why some people hate gay people in the first place, because anytime anyone disagrees, they automatically assume they are gay. Maybe 50 is just an ignorant azz Hetero. Get a life!

50 has had more p*nis than a public urinal.

Out his ass in the worst way possible.

[BlueJay]

2 Stuffed Animal: totally with you here, if one does not respect him(her)self -- how can you expect others respect you. It is very disheartening to see when people routinely refer to themselves as "bitches" or "faggots" or whatever else.

However I would argue it is not just about usage of specific words. It is all about prejudice, bigotry and hatred and disrespect. Hardaway would not be less bigoted if he just refrained to say it aloud or avoided usage of certain words... The whole gangsta rap thing will not become less disrespectful (to women, gays and just about everyone else) just by dropping few words from their lexicon either.

I think we have much deeper problems to address. It is important to educate people that certain words have inherent turptitude attached to them. But it is even more important to educate them about evils of prejudice. Just putting on your plastic smile and avoiding few "loaded" words is not enough if people remain hateful in their souls. Sometimes all this official politcorrectness is like putting lipstick on the pig -- just brushes all the issues under the carpet without really addressing them...

[Ryan]

http://sojournproject.org/ - maybe this will open the eyes of 50 Cent, and so many others.

[marlon]

I’ve been anti “N” word from pre-adolescents; however, since Hardaway’s ordeal, I’ve been referring to too many black folks as Niggers
( stupid, ignorant, dumb-azz) because it appropriately fitting - like 50cents.

50cents babble is worthy of yet another Nigger moment in history. We’re illustrating just how far mental enslavement has progressed during this black history month’07.

[kristen]

i'm more concerned about the little girl's comment about being used to being called a ho. i'm not that young but when i have ever been called a ho i was ready to fight then and there.

if any rapper/hip-hop artist really cared about their community then they would go to the "hood" and listen to the effects of their misogyny, self-hatred and homophobia that is coming out of the mouths of this girl and any other child.

and as to 2 quarters, i believe that he and any other rapper that is homophobic has something to hide from the public and their fans

[Stuffed Animal]

Black people using the word "niggah", women calling themselves "bitches" and "hoes," Gay people wrapping themselves up in the words "queer," "dyke" and "faggot", 50 Cent and whatever the Hell he feels forced to say . . . it all comes from the same ignorant, self-hating place. We need to wake up.

[NLM]

I agree with PDQ that 50 cents need to be outed, but the question is How do we out them. I think there is a need for a hip-hop gay mafia that will out these rappers once and for all.

But I did hear on the Wendy Williams show that Busta does attend the DL parties in NYC and he threatened a guy not to tell anyone.

[Mervin Malone Jr.]

It's sad, but 50 Cent and Busta while clearly in love with the cash and their materially decadent lifestyles don't realize the hurt they spread &ndash, that, or they don't care. Also, they cast a pall on the larger black community, as their behavior is only an outgrowth of the homophobia already rampant in that selfsame community. Some more NON homophobic rappers need to step up to the plate.

[PDQ]

50 using the "F word" is like the pot calling the kettle black.

That boy needs to be outed once and for all.
