bigted Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 http://contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mn...acist%20comment Rapper 50 CENT has lashed out at fellow hip-hop star KANYE WEST for accusing US President GEORGE W BUSH of racism in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The IN DA CLUB star believes human intervention could not have prevented the effects of the hurricane, which killed over a thousand people in the US gulf states in August (05), and sees no point in reprimanding the President for something which was beyond his control. He says, "The New Orleans disaster was meant to happen. It was an act of God. "I think people responded to it the best way they can. "What KANYE WEST was saying, I don't know where that came from."

mfuqua23 Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 All I'll say, is I understand where 50's coming from with those statements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesSyde Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 i dunno what 2 think. is 50 saying this to start beef with Kanye? or to make his foes seem like he's interested in politics when he's not? :shrug: i doubt 50 even cares that much about hurricane Katrina, but i could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hymn Strings Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Trust me, they probably used the term "lashed out" to make it more dramatic. I bet he was simply answering a stupid question that was being asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 (edited) It's been 2 months since Hurricane Katrina, why didn't 50 make this comment earlier when he gets interviewed every other day? I didn't hear about him giving any money either and I didn't see him there helping the people. I don't think he really cares about it either, I think he's saying this to start controversey again, why can't the media interview somebody intelligent, tell me why... :paperbag: Edited November 2, 2005 by bigted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcpbball30 Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 While he makes a decent point, the fact that he says something so late about it shows me that he really does not care much about it. Maybe if he said this right off the bat and was making donations, it would have been a good move by him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristigolo Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 fifty is just an idiot. i dunno why ppl care for what he says? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Brakes Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Guys you don't actually know when he said this! I know know the article says 1st Nov but I dont think thats when he said it, just when they published it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxFly Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 He was most likely asked a question and responded to it. "50, what do you think of Kanye's statement about President Bush concerning hurricane Katrina?" Something like that... He says, "The New Orleans disaster was meant to happen. It was an act of God. "I think people responded to it the best way they can. Yeah... like 4 days late... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Believe me if 50 said something earlier we would've heard it a lot sooner than now, there's been a lot of interviews from 50 Cent lately and not one did he mention this until now, in fact around the Hurricane Katrina time he said that he helped create Kanye's career so this gives me more of the impression that he wants to battle Kanye, he always can't say anythin' without dissin' another rapper, shut up 50 and "Don't Say Nothin'", at least Kanye was out there doing charity concerts even if you don't agree with what he says...
