Be on the lookout soon for my thread about his book we're all going to read it together, Coli reading club@FreshAIG
You know I lean on some of you NY guys for stuff like this. So as far as you know, that's true that Sun and God B were the guys who took the hit on 50, not Hommo?
Get Rich or Die Tryin was released nearly 3 years after Fif was hit, which means by that time, even if Fif initially thought it was Hommo, by the tike the album dropped he knew it wasn't Hommo, right?
If I'm piecing this together right, there are a lot of parallels between 50 and Gucci Mane. I've heard in years past, I think I've seen it on here from NYers too, that 50 isn't viewed as some American Gangster in NY. I've been around someone who grew up with Gucci, never been around anyone close to 50, so would you say this is true too, that people who came up around 50 acknowledge he was outside but he wasn't locking shyt down or scaring people?
Also were the rumors that he got an order of protection against Murder Inc substantiated? What about other rumors that he's snitched before? In this Vlad interview this cop says 50 never told but the comment section saying this cop was locked in with 50 and would deny it even if it were true.
Just asking from the standpoint of, I was 13 when Get Rich dropped and obviously I'm not a New Yorker. So the imagery of 50 was always that he was viewed as one of the baddest guys around and then even later the reviews were basically mixed (when I was living in Upstate NY and encountering Borough dudes, like I said I did hear from a few, basically that "he was outside but he wasn't tearing shyt up, nobody feared him", but I also met other City guys who swore he was everything he portrayed himself as).
Yayo also recently let it slip in his Vlad interview that 50 wasn't really a dealer, then he tried to walk it back. I've shared my Gucci story on here, so I'll spare it here but I trust your info on this NY shyt if the shyt in this thread and new Vlad interview validate some of the old shyt I was told, there's definitely some really strong parallels (read: mythology) between 50 and Gucci as far as backgrounds are concerned.
i had to re-read that statement. In what prison are they allowing prisoners to wear velour suits? damn..nikkas was fly in jail
Yeah the confusion of it being Hommo apparently came from the fact the guy who did it looked a lot like Hommo at the time. And Hommo was a known figure so 50 put 2 and 2 together.@FreshAIG

What are the chances the whole story is fabricated though?Yeah the confusion of it being Hommo apparently came from the fact the guy who did it looked a lot like Hommo at the time. And Hommo was a known figure so 50 put 2 and 2 together.
50 was a real official street nikka, but he wasn't a killer or a known shooter or anything of the such. He hustled and had nikkas hustling for him. He did a quick bootcamp bid for that.
50 wasn't no feared street figure running around putting in pain. He just wasn't afraid of those type of nikka that did. That's where I think a lot of his rep is based off. It was less so about what he did, and more so how he didn't bow down to nikkas who did have reps. 50 was smart because once he got on, he started recruiting a lot of street nikkas to hold him down. So he had the original G-Unit crew (smurf and them), then he had the 551 nikkas out in Brooklyn, and then he had them America Tower Mac Balla nikkas once he recruited Joffy (Joffy grew up with Lloyd Banks, that's how that relationship with 50 got started). That's why in a lot of times you'd see videos with nikkas with 50 and they all Blooded out. Joffy brought that element to the G-Unit.
Once 50 got on, he started paying like he weighed.
The funny thing is, Nore actually said 50 snitched before lol, but he just never said it publicly. Nore told Tax that he was talking to 50 and let it slip out that Ja was his neighbor and he said shortly after the FBI came to his house asking him where Ja lives. Nore said the FBI told him "50 Cent said you told him Ja lives in this area". But there's no paperwork to substantiate him being a snitch so I can't say that.
The order of protection is real with 50 but it gets hazy. The engineer they had with them filed the order of protection but Yayo was trying to get a lawsuit out of it too until he had to get talked out of it because it would kill what they building. But at the time, they wasn't up like that and Murda Inc was, so Yayo looked at it as a payday.
What are the chances the whole story is fabricated though?
I mean ... The whole background story
The amount of times he got shot is fabricated but the incident happened.
Lol zero percent chance. He was a known figure in his hood by too many people. His lore of being this super gangster is fabricated though. He was just a real street nikka.I mean ... The whole background story
What are the chances that he's just an actor from Julliard?
If you were to start with the task of fabricating such a reputation, what does it require and where do you start?Lol zero percent chance. He was a known figure in his hood by too many people. His lore of being this super gangster is fabricated though. He was just a real street nikka.
