50 Cent Rattled by Death Threat in Iraq

Tuesday November 28, 2006
Don't let his tough talk on wax fool you, 50 Cent is not completely out of tune with reality. In fact, the so-called gangsta rapper had a reality check while hanging out with the U.S. troops in Iraq last year. According to the Post Chronicle, Fiddy became nervous after a soldier reminded him that he was in danger of losing his life.

"I had an opportunity to perform for the soldiers in Iraq when I went on tour for (film) Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. As soon as I got there, a guy said, 'Listen, I'm not gonna bulls**t you, you can die today,'" said 50.

He added: "At first I thought, 'Why did I even come here?' At the end of that experience the people that got to see me perform may be the last thing they see; the last time they enjoy something before they go out tomorrow to fight - and some of them may not come back, bottom line."

For some reason, I suddenly feel like listening to Mobb Deep's "Shook Ones II."

Hmmm, I thought he was ready to die, always talking bout how he wasnt afraid of nothing. He can try and take Pacs philosophies and make them his own, but the difference is that Pac truly didnt care if he died or not.

Why is everyone swinging from 50’s nuts? He made 1 good album! He is done. He is to focused on taking over rap instead of making good music. If NAS does not bring it with his new album he is done. So far the only thing that NAS has right is the album title! Jadakiss takes to long to put out anything new. He will never be able to compete anyone. Where are you Dr Dre?????
