Looks like Kamaal has taken his Twitter campaign to the 1515 Boys headquarters. And he’s not feelin’ Curtis not being allowed to perform in their old hood.
“50 Cent is a success story we all should applaud. However you feel about him, you can’t deny him. He had something going on in his old neighborhood — our old neighborhood, because I grew up there too. He wanted to perform there. He can have the benefit but he can’t perform.”
“I think that’s a shot to morale,” he continued. “It’s a shot to somebody’s morale, who’s 15 or 16 years old. That’s an impressionable soul who sees 50 Cent, how he’s not able to see him perform in a way. I think the [city’s officials] are aware, but they think [50’s] performance may cause rabble-rousing, or get people to act out. That’s just an old way of thinking about folk, especially black folk. That’s what it all boils down to, essentially.”
Bet you Your Honor is a big Otis Redding fan. Ha!

However you feel qabout 50 Cent or QTip, Tip was misquoted in the above caption…As lengthy as this quote is, you could have used what he said verbatim.
Additionally…Where does Bloomberg get off? Personally, I don’t support 50, but I do support NYC and all of the unarmed Black Men who have been shot dead or critically wounded under Bloomberg’s tenure.
Sean Bell was from Queens…let us not forget!
