Shooting at 50 Cent Movie.. Local Critic Says "Worst Hip-Hop Movie Ever"
Sent along by Big Poppa Davey D:
Man Killed at Opening Night of "Get Rich or Die Trying"
Gunfire in the Loews Waterfront movie theater killed a man Wednesday night, West Homestead police said...Police said nobody has come forward to identify a shooter, even though the building was busier than a usual weeknight, with the 50 Cent movie, "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'" debuting on two screens... The West Homestead police chief told Channel 4 Action News that the department put an officer on duty at the theater -- which is unusual for a weeknight -- due to the showing of the movie... The Waterfront theater pulled the movie until the investigation is complete, Channel 4 Action News reporter Sheldon Ingram said.
Local Movie Critic Discusses 50 Cent Movie
...Brentin Mock left the Loew's Movie Theatre with his 2-year-old son right before Shelton Flowers, 30, of Wilkinsburg, was shot in the thigh and chest at the Waterfront. Mock writes movie reviews for the Pittsburgh City Paper.
"As a person who's a defender of all things hip-hop, I think it's the worst hip-hop movie ever made," said Mock... "This movie comes out and completely reinforces all the stereotypes people had about hip-hop anyway," said Mock...

At the premiere in T-Dot we had uniformed, armed cops at both entrances, in the halls and in the theatre during the movie! The only place to see the film was in the big multiplexes, so they actually had all the surrounding stores closed and locked with security, like there was going to be a riot.
I saw the flick, it wasn't great, and it's *so suprising* (sarcasm noted?) to see negative sterotypes of young Black men so wholeheartedly exploited. This shooting is a tragedy, but to blame the movie itself is still the wrong way to see it. If your country is so fucked up that the only way for a young black man (or any man for that reason) to feel a sense of self-worth is to buy a handgun, sell rock and act like Fiddy, then putting cops at a movie theatre is like trying to bail out the titanic with a spoon.

50 Cent Lyrics "Piggy Bank" changed to "50's Bank"
Yiddgy Yank, Yiddgy Yank, Take your money back from 50's bank !!!
Yiddgy Yank, Yiddgy Yank, Take your money back from 50's bank !!!
B-United atcha (I got rhino skin)
B-United atcha (take crops out your hand)
B-United atcha (Tupac ain't your friend)
B-United atcha (maken' sure 50 gets spent man)
50 ¢ don't B-H8n' B-United dawg !!!
if you had a love for life you could match me boy, (lights a match)
I get to writing congress cuz that shit's legal, (typing fx)
lil 50 should have left the saftey on after 8 mile,
ya know me the pen on paper wizard, da kind,
to slap lawsuits up your ass to stop rap related crime,
hit your breaks so hard make your rims dusty,
no matter how many times you wash your hands they still dirty,
I'm not in da hood, up on the hill lookn down from the top,
50,000 mansions, 50 billion dollars why I hear no shots?
your hearts cold, your shit's sold, 50 thought he was in da club,
while 50 Bent made 50 spend time in da tub, (myspace.com/50bent)
don't fuck with B-United, if you a liar,
I'll drop your ass like David did Golith,
yeah homie worldwide people dis your vocal,
you don't run New York, shit dawg your wacked on coca,
sex sells, violence sells, so your rap sells,
but it made you cocky as hell, so we pop off and yell
like an attack on us is a green light for the FCC to run on 50
and take his shank,
and 50 million dollars out his piggy bank, (pig snorts & laughing)
send G-Unit to room 103, get the doctory to scrub for surgery,
its an emergency, Olivia said my fist would make her milkshake,
but I pulled the fire alarm just as that bitch sucked up my whole arm, (laughing)
you know we're da YAY out in Cali,
when you come out west, your shit gets ignored,
the first thing they say about you is you a C B 4,
I win every game of chess,
never wait till the next move to give it all you got (boxing sound fx)
yeah yeah take 50's money back From 50's Bank (repeat)
Yiddgy Yank, Yiggdy Yank, Take your Money back from 50's Bank !!!
Yiddgy Yank, Yiggdy Yank, Take your Money back from 50's Bank !!!
heehahaha you gotta do something now
(many people laughing) come on man everybody is listening to this shit
Don't let B-United do ya like that (Bass Warning!! boxing fx cont.)
damn Rep your Hood ( out da 408 SharkBoxer ©)
you a gangsta right? haeah
G-Note get the I.M.F. on the phone we just hacked into 50's account
and yayo & young buck, olivia got more cash than all those muther fuckers,
send that shit to switzerland bitch

Because of this shooting, "dangerous" films like Get Rich or Die Tryin' will be forever delegated to Wednesdays and lose money, no matter how good or bad the movie might be.

I heard the local NY guy say that they needed someone besides Curtis Jackson to play 50 Cent since Curtis Jackson can't act. LOL!! Although in a very slight defense of the movie--well not the movie but the billboard. There are many movies that glorify violence and have guns in them, which doesn't mean that it is OK, but it does seem that 50 was singled out.

To Rachel S,
Yes there are many violent movies like spy movies and movies about corruption etc etc but that violence in real life is under the radar.
The violence in this movie is much more real...take walk outside in an Urban city...you dont need this movie to see this kind of environment.
50 was not singled out...he singled out himself.

it's funny cause crime is actually at 40 year low in New York. So if one were to actually step outside they would find (gasp) less crime.

yall dont know him so how can yall talk about him im from new orleans here the murder rate is the highest i seen peolpe get killed and those who tried to leave gangs back down because of hes friends so 50 didnt want that life he left out and the results in the end look where he at and where you at he is makin the music and movies and yall at home listenin to it bobin your head and wachin hes movie

just another example of a no talent who has been put into a position of influence whether people like it or not.this is the kind of thing that happens when individuals who have no business being involved in music or movies for that matter are offered opportunities because of their current fame.we as hip hop heads have got to stop this craziness and take our art form back from corporate america.fifty cent is a pawn in a game and a mediocre rapper if that much.

I believe the movie 'Get Rich or Die Tyin' was done well for his first movie. I thought that it had a message to it, and perhaps someone with more of an intellectually understanding would grasp it. He seemed genuine in his acting, and very charismatic. I think that the movie only strengthened how people view him. He won me over!

I'm about to perpetuate a stereotype - of someone who criticizes, but has never seen the movie - so be prepared before you read this.
I don't want to see this movie. This man is not nearly as talented as he makes himself out to be. The only thing he can talk about is getting shot. Now he's done talking about it, and feels like we should watch it instead. Sorry, but I wouldn't spend 50 Cent, let alone support his dumb ass movie (or that wack video game he's in).
I don't blame him for the billboard - he did, after all, hire an ad agency to help out, etc., but he should have known better: if he wanted to send a message to young black folks about getting out of the streets, don't pose with a gun in your hand. There's nothing good about anything he's done in his past lives to justify that sign. Okay, he got up and out, but instead of telling everyone that's it's okay to do what he did to make it, he should try to actually be of assistance, or he should shut the hell up.

Wow! I can't believe the negative hype assholes are giving to this MOVIE!! This shit reminds me of the OJ trial - damn. THE DAMN MOVIE WAS GOOD -and who the hell is anyone to think that their lifestyle is better than. Fuck all of you broke-ass, hatin' on a brother because he got his shit off the ground 'by any means necessary' and you still makin' minimum wage bitches. The shooting in the movie theatre had nothing to do with the movie itself - don't even kid yourself like that. The fool who was the perpetrator probably had just watched an HBO episode of the Sopranos and was all hyped up by THAT violence when he got there. OH - but I guess THAT kind of violence is o.k. with Americans because the thugs, yeah I said THUGS are white and crime always pays for them. Fuck you all.

I think that Get Rich or Die Tryin' is a very good movie. I really enjoyed it. People need to quit hating on 50 Cent. That movie was based on real life events. It was a very inspiring movie.
