My environment made me the nigga I amI have a lot of respect for Fat Joe. He never portrayed a pure or clean-cut image, but he has always represented for the Bronx. And anyone from the BX can tell you that. I say this to get at the latest spin in the drama between him and 50 Cent. I can't respect 50. It's not like I had a great deal of admiration for him in the first place, but some things just are better left unsaid.

In school, although any good teacher knows to field all questions equally, there really is such a thing as a stupid question. And there damn sure is such a thing as stupid people and stupid statements. For him - in the aftermath of all this hurricane drama - to bring it all back to square one with what he's all about it's pitiful.
Sometimes it amazes me the sorts of people that presumably 'make it.' While Kanye West ain't the best thing since sliced bread either, he still garnered a considerable anount of respect before his verbal jab last Friday night. For 50, to continue to leave a bad taste in the mouths of real hip-hop lovers, to continue setting a bad exampl of how not to leverage your considerable influence, and to continue beef talk while all the other billions of people in the world are focused on what they can do to help the victims and evacuees; he literally hurt my feelings.
I am offically embarassed. Yeah, yeah, you say. You've got to admire his gangsta and his business-savvy. He's doing big things with all of the side ventures he has jumping off from clothing to music, movies, acquisitions, etc. Fuq you, hombre. I really don't give a shT. It's all a Minstrel Show and only makes more ever more determined to continue fighting the good fight and rep for real Black folks that know the real. Because if we don't rep...shT will really hit the fan. I met a high-school kid yesterday who has to go to court on Wednesday. I didn't get the details of the charge, but I did get his name and note the Stop Snitching black tee that he was rocking. Go ahead...keep admiring 50's gangsta. Black republicans ain't the only threat to my state-of-mind.
All these Uncle Tom ass kissin n!ggas got to go
