APRIL FOOLS!
I had quite a few people trying to pull fast ones on April Fool’s Day.
The only thing is, these jokes are so old and played out that nothing
really works. The main one that got out there was that Young Buck left
G-Unit. (50 Cent was at a recent listening party for Buck so that’s
out!) I heard another one about PMD of EPMD getting arrested. That was
the “nice try” award, since PMD is a really good dude. The one that was
really good was the April Fool’s joke that google played on its people
– “Google paper.” Good one, google, good one!
THE TONY YAYO PROTEST…
How do I say this? Well, let Russell Simmons and his peoplestart things off. They issued a statement about this Monday protest
against Tony Yayo saying “We ain’t in it!” See below:
“We are not involved and we have no interest in the public debate
over this issue,” Russell Simmons told AllHipHop.com. “While we condemn
violence in all its forms we see our role as peace makers.”
ALSO, 50 Cent told AllHipHop.com:
“As CEO of G-Unit Records, I take allegations swirling in the media
regarding the alleged altercation against a teenage boy on Tuesday Mar.
20 in Manhattan very seriously,” 50 Cent told AllHipHop.com in a
statement. “I have authorized an independent investigation of the
incident to determine whether anyone associated with G-Unit Records was
involved in the confrontation. I must state for the record, that I was
at my home in Farmington, Connecticut the entire day completing songs
for my new album.”
50 Cent on how he will handle things going forward.
“A word of caution to anyone attempting to link me personally to
this unfortunate incident for their own selfish motivations, I will
vigorously pursue all legal remedies available to me to protect my
professional reputation.”
