Fif relied on his Instagram page to urge people not to resort to violence for vengeance.

Check out what ex-Unit member Game said about slayings right here…

Despite the widespread speculation, Game denied trying to stir up any controversy with an Instagram murder reference last weekend.

The comment in my last post was a DIRECT RESPONSE to the picture above: I didn't say it was cool that 2 cops were murdered senselessly while sitting in their car. These weren't the cop(s) that killed ERIC GARNER so it wasn't necessary they die in that manner the same as it wasn't AT ALL necessary ERIC GARNER die in the way he did. My comment also suggested that #AllLivesMatter & #ShitNeedsToChangeNow but you simple minded fucks skipped right over the real message to pull whatever negativity you could from my post… As expected. One thing about me is, I'm ME. I'm not running from my views or opinions & I'm standing firm on anything I say.. So while all of you trying to find the HATE in my post, there is NONE. What their is…. is an opinion of a man that believes the deaths of innocent people are never OKAY. Never has been !!! It just so happens, that I'm BLACK. It just so happens I grew up as a minority & have been a victim of racial profiling & police harassment in my youth the same as many so I can relate to the continuous STRUGGLE to change the way the GOVERNMENT deals with it's own employees when they're supposed to be highly trained professionals who loosely abuse the right to them wearing the badge given to them. "PROTECT & SERVE" does not mean "CHOKE & KILL" an innocent un-armed man…. Retaliating for Eric Garner's murder the way the MEDIA portrays it happened wasn't the answer either but it happened…. SO WHAT NOW… Do police KILL more civilians ??? Or do civilians KILL more police ??? Y'all can't see what's happening to our country ? Or all YALL still too focused on an iPhone app to get off of it to take a REAL LOOK AROUND ??? & you ask me, do I like police: NO !!! Do I hate police: NO !!! Have I experienced more police abusing their authority than not: YES !!! So that's why "I" say FUCK THE POLICE !!! That's "MY OPINION"…. Does that mean I think it's dope that 2 innocent cops were murdered: NOPE. But does it change my view on crooked police: NOPE !!! So… You can hate me, not like me, say FUCK GAME or UNFOLLOW or never support my MUSIC again because I have an opinion… SO WHAT, I DO NOT GIVE A FUCK !!! [To Be Continued..]

According to reports, the murders were in relation to controversial verdicts in the now-infamous Eric Garner and Michael Brown deaths.

Two uniformed NYPD officers were shot dead Saturday afternoon as they sat in their marked police car on a Brooklyn street corner — in what investigators believe was a crazed gunman’s ­assassination-style mission to avenge Eric Garner and Michael Brown. (NY Post)

Some reports claimed there were early social media warnings of the attack happening.

Police investigators have said the killings were the work of a 28-year-old black man with a long arrest record who may have had past mental troubles and who warned of his intentions on social media. The gunman’s posts on Instagram indicated he had been motivated by the deaths of 18-year-old Michael Brown and Eric Garner at the hands of police officers. (Yahoo News)

  1. Man I can’t vouch for 50 on this one. Ok, I can look past the songs he has out directed at killing police because it’s entertainment. But hashtagging your products with Ghandi? That’s a fail.

  2. The fuck outta here with the coon shit! Negro usually stays aways from socio-political issues and the first time he decides to take a decisive stance it’s to dissuade the people from retaliating against the system? Is smacking a kid’s son the answer? Is beefin’ with fellow Black men the answer? Is randomly targeting every rapper who worked with your enemy (Ja-Rule) the answer? Is trying to embarrass fellow Black men (Floyd and Young Buck) the answer? But when it comes to fighting back against the system “Oh that’s not the answer!”

    He quotes Ghandi when a brother rallies against the system but when it comes to Jimmy Henchmen or these rappers he’s all FOR eye for an eye! lol As Ghostface told Method Man in the show: “Sit down nigga!” LOL

    • Is he wrong though? I mean, do you really think that randomly killing cops is the move? You think that’s “fighting back against the system”? Did you know these two officers, who by the way were minorities, and what they believed in? What exactly did this accomplish for the cause?

      And please, let’s not compare beefing on records and in magazines to ending somebodies life. I don’t think 50 is trying to dissuade the people from retaliating. He is trying to dissuade the people from becoming murderers and ruining their lives. I think he has proven his intelligence over time and hopefully the people will listen.

      • Being quiet, calm, compliant, and complacent does not work either. Marches and protests have yielded no positive results and have acquired no progress. How many police have been held accountable for police brutality? How many have faced retribution? How has marching, protesting, or conducting die ins been effective in preventing Black people from being the perpetual victims of police violence, deterring officers from using excessive force, or adequately punishing the officers involved? Inaction isn’t an option.

        Also several of 50’s beefs got physical and led to situations that could have ended in death. The shooting outside of the HOT97 station with Game’s crew, the fight with Ja, when he got jumped by Murder Inc, slapping Henchmen’s son, Yayo’s house getting shot up. Those could have all ended in death and in one case (the dude who slapped Henchmen’s son was killed) it did!

        • But what you are suggesting as a solution will in reality cause more death for young black men than any 50 cent beef could ever do. Not to mention the fact that police brutality and discrimination will also rise as a result. You think the boys in blue won’t seek retribution in some form or fashion?

          I’m not suggesting that inaction is the answer but again I ask you, what does going on a mass killing spree of cops do to uplift black people? There has to be a better way rather than causing more black deaths and jail sentences.

          • Did I suggest a solution? I put forth no solution in my post. All I said was the current activism strategies have not been effective deterrents to police violence and have not resulted in any greater accountability for cops who kill. Those are facts.
            As far as police brutality and discrimination rising, we’ve already been the victims of such practices and still are at a much higher rate than any other group in this country. I never suggested going on a mass killing spree of cops just for the record. You are the only one who put that out there on the internet. No one else on this thread did lol

            You are scared. I understand. Most of us are. But complacency and docility will not win you sympathy and favor from your oppressor. Pacifism will not earn you points or favor. Nonviolent civil disobedience has its rewards but it is limited in its reach and is still very much dependent on the system that it seeks to change.

          • “His mom’s had a stare I wouldn’t dare second look when I murk
            It hurt, kind of took it as a brief reminder
            that the street’s designed to stop your life, plot
            The beast in time ya” -NaS (Suspect)

            Chilling bars that should give heads pause.

          • You don’t have a credible or sound argument against anything I’ve said so you took a statement of mine out of context and in an effort to negate my comment.

            Your comment would make sense if I had proposed to be offering solutions or if he and I were debating solutions, but as I was under no pressure to provide a solution your point is moot.

          • “You don’t have a credible or sound argument against anything I’ve said ”

            Honestly…you don’t know anything about my views or perspective…you have no clue to whether i have a credible argument against your views or not so i have no clue to why you would think that would be a sensible thing to say to me at this time. My point is…you are here criticizing someone’s perspective on a matter based on their history regardless to how their perspective may have changed or be articulated based on the current events of the matter AND not providing any kind of solution of sensible logic to why what he is saying is inaccurate…you spend most of your post discrediting his opinion based on his history….In other words…you spend so much time telling all of us what isn’t the answer…but no time at all explaining any kind of possible resolution…

            Regardless of his past….is he really wrong for his opinion? Is it wrong for not wanting that kind of revenge? Just focus on that aspect of his statement without having to point the finger at his past….

            “Your comment would make sense if I had proposed to be offering solutions”

            …well….thats pretty much the theme of the post my dude….

          • I just re-read your original post and it seems pretty clear that you believe that killing those cops was a good way to fight back against the system and that 50 was wrong for suggesting that it is not the answer. If he is wrong for suggesting it is not the answer, common sense would have one believe that you feel it IS the answer. That is why I’ve come to the conclusion that you feel violence against police is the solution. Did I misinterpret something?

    • Sorry but you are exaggerating. He’s talking about MURDER!!! Beefing or clowning others is different. The person’s mentioned were and are his enemies. I don’t like cops but killing inncocent cops who have nothing to do with this is wrong. 50 is right. Now the cops gone aim there anger on innocent blacks. If you wanna co-sign that and go against a good message 50 put out good luck with it.

      • I think you may not have fully comprehended my comment. I’ll further elaborate here. A good percentage of the Black community (particularly from the more marginalized, resource deprived, underprivileged lower income earning areas) have a great distrust for law enforcement in general. As a whole. Therefore they view ALL police as an inherent enemy. Inherent adversaries. It is similar to war. When planes fly into US buildings flown by an Al Qaeda sect in Afghanistan, the US launches an all out assault on ALL of Al-Qaeda. NOT just the specific members behind the attack. Similarly, there are Black people who feel if you are linked to a perceived terrorist organization (in this case US police departments) then you are apart of the opposition since your job function entails carrying out the agenda of the oppressor. (You also forgot that your boy fif declared war on Jada, Fat Joe, and others just for working with Ja-Rule).

        As for the cops taking their anger out on innocent Blacks they would be 100% in the wrong to do so and you can NOT fault the brother who allegedly killed the two cops for what would be a wreckless, unlawful, indiscriminate, and emotional response on the part of police who are expected to be impartial, objective, methodical, and lawful.

        • Viewing all police is the enemy is just as wrong as viewing all black people as criminals and that is the problem.

          • Incorrect. On the surface it seems like the same thing but that’s a false equivalency. Police are members of an organization. A nationwide organization where applicants (prospective employees) undergo nearly the same training in the academy. Policies vary from state to state, maybe even city to city, but they are largely uniform in training, policies, how to approach violent situations, when to make an arrest, how to identify suspicious behavior, when to draw their weapons, and most certainly to uphold the blue wall of silence. So they are an organization in which the members adhere to the same policies, protocol, instructions, and codes of conduct set forth by their employer.

            Black people are a group united by race and socio-political circumstances, but they are too wide a group to compare to a govt organization. The Black community includes the rich and poor, the religious and the atheist, the poorly educated and greatly educated, government employed and private sector employed, liberals and conservatives, leftist and right wing, etc. and they don’t all adhere to a specific rule of the land and they are not all expected to execute the law in the same manner. A more accurate comparison would be to compare two organizations. The police to the Bloods and Crips.

    • But yet you mention nothing regarding his support with Fleecing America to help ease the starvation epidemic in this country and through out the world. We all no that Fif’s no angel but damn can we acknowledge that he’s really trying to show street niggaz that there are other avenues to travel that are positive and productive.

      • His charitable endeavors have nothing to do with this topic!! Ya 50 fans are just incapable of criticizing him or accepting legitimate criticism of him. He isn’t a deity. He isn’t God. Ya don’t have to rush to his defense when someone levels worthy criticism of him.

        If he wants to show “street niggaz” an alternative, he can start by not publicly mocking other Black men who struggle with literacy and not releasing tapes of an emotional former employee. By not interjecting himself in someone else’s relationship issues.

        • First off I thought I address the criticism part of your post by saying Fif’s no angel. I don’t no if Money May has a literacy problem or not, when he was asked in an interview he denied that claim so it is what it is as far as that and as for Buck that was base on business no more no less.

          • I feel you brother. We are all flawed, myself included of course. I’m just saying if you are really trying to put positive energy in the air there are certain very obvious things you stay away from. A few things you just don’t do include needlessly making fun of people, deliberately attempting to taint someone’s reputation (releasing the Buck phone call).

          • 50 has always come off to me as that dude that was going to give you that extra kick in the ribs when you’ve already been put to sleep by a sucker punch lol.

    • Killing police officers will only lead to them killing more black people. They get away with it. We don’t. Making sure they are held accountable is the answer. We must fix the broken system.

  3. 0o0 shut the fuck up you ignorant niggers!!!!!….the guy is preaching peace and you guys want violence!.. think of the head u dumb monkeys are on. every fuking single rapper is a hypocrite and every single rappers spits the same sex, money, murder, drugs, guns, rap!!! just to sell to the ignorant non evolving monkeys that you are. You laugh at white crackers listening to country and pop, but at least the fuking song aint about shooting up the block, selling drugs etc. yea go ahead and defend the “black culture and the hardships”. That positive rap shit don’t sell and put food in their kids mouths! so they sell to you porch monkeys. grow the fuck up seriously, you guys don’t use your fuking brains, you resort to killing your own, selling drugs to your own, leaving your kids with no father etc. I am honestly so happy to be white and grow up with my parents in the middle class not having to worry my kid was gunna get shot because a color, or jordans or for just gang affliation bs. you poison everything in your hoods, you niggers destroy every thing in your community. deny it all you want but your kids are doomed the way your raising them, look at these niggers you hang out with all of them going no where with life but to selling drugs, killing eachother and innocents for blocks that you think you “own” hahahahah

    • p.s. you monkeys i found this article by accident so enjoy. i don’t even care or know of this site. seriously just re read what i wrote don’t get all madd and in ur feelings. just think about it if you have a single brain cell you will rethink of things differently & this message is for NIGGERS not black people. the few that exist.

    • Give that same speech about peace to you soulless violent blood thirsty snow ape savage pale ugly white devil snow ape brothers. tell them stop worshipping the nra and guns and get a fucking life.

  4. The only major fuck up is it was 2 minority cops. Let it have been 2 white cops and we would be on some shit. Stfu 50 them same niggas helped u out b4. If he cared about a fucking answer he would of been out there giving out free water and being seen. Opinion ass mfr. Where the fuck is some decent hiphop fucking worst year ever word to larry davis lord jamár and vlad tv (vlad exploiting ass coon)

  5. Why didn’t he use the same logic when he got shot up but I bet he went on a hurt for payback

  6. Flash back to the Curtis album I think track 3 or 4 “Man down (Officer down)” lol this guy smh

  7. There isa reason that he spoke out. The shooter quoted his lyrics. If he doesn’t say shit, then he would look like he was condoning the shooter.

  8. Would you prefer that sun continue to pump poison in the neighborhood?
    Would you be entertained if sun and that Fugazi just blam blam at each other?
    Would you cheer and praised sun if he aimed the four pounder at a rival street niggas kidney?

    #EMPTYTHEBUCKET

    • ignorance is a disease, i hope you grandmothers or mother never need the help of the police one day. smdh@ the garbage on here

  9. More like NYPD should stop pretending 2 Cops got shot. Not a drop of blood on the car they pretended cops got shot in.

  10. F%ck Curtis Jackson he make music about killing black people now he wants to take up for the police coon as ni666er

  11. the death of these men only does one thing and thats put fingers closer to the trigger to those who were already trigger happy and now they have even more excuse to kill the innocent

    • As for the cops taking their anger out on innocent Blacks they would be 100% in the wrong to do so and you can NOT fault the brother who allegedly killed the two cops for what would be a wreckless, unlawful, indiscriminate, and emotional response on the part of police who are expected to be impartial, objective, methodical, and lawful.

      • i can understand the despair and emotional breaking point that has been reached but they got exactly what they wanted with this. they won’t stop till they make us all look like criminals so they can continue their murders and somehow justify it.

        • I understand that is the plan but anyone with a modicum of common sense would realize that to target a specific demographic for the actions of one individual would still be unlawful and would constitute a gross human rights violation. Heightened police violence and police repression would then only serve to intensify anti-law enforcement sentiment and would serve to buttress the anti-police brutality movement causing it to expand further.

          • the realization has occurred but voices grow weary and the most powerful ones get assassinated. the powers that be don’t care how high the anti-law sentiment grows because they use the media to deceive the masses into believing they are eliminating criminal element by using stories of there murdered comrades to out weigh the initial unjust that had occurred thus justifying, in their eyes, for them to take more innocent lives. i think we are both leading to the same point which is change is needed drastically in our judicial system.

          • The powers at be do care. Obama altogether neglected to address the issue of police brutality until people started rioting in Ferguson. Bill deBlasio was forced to address it over the city’s indignation with the grand jury decision regarding the murder of Eric Garner.

          • but what good has it done. just words to keep up their approval rating. words where action is needed

  12. Ghandi was not all he was said to be …there were an oppressed group of people in india that never got as much as a mention….and do i think a eye for will work no!!! But im happy it happen ….innocent death is innocent death no matter the color…its sad that it had to come to this….but this pain is nothing when you look at how the people were enslaved and robbed for everything things we made were taken and said to be have made by another….ancestors dont even want to admit we share blood line….i dont want random death but its better for a cop who knows they can die with the job to fall …than for a kid or a unarmed person to die….I CANT BREATH…NOW YOU CANT STOP BLEEDING

  13. lots of good points,,bottom line the more shit changes the more it stays the same..but straight up 50 aint leading mfkrs nowhere period..so who gives a fuk what he talkn about?

  14. 50 only bitchin up so he wont get blackballed and ppl tryin to get his endorsement takin away, 50 a bitch nigga
