A HISTORIC MOMENT IN HIP-HOP: 50 CENT THROWS UP THE ROC SIGN AT NYC CONCERT

KILLEDTHAT.COM EXCLUSIVE: This year’s ScreamFest show started off like every other: heartthrobs Lloyd, T-Pain, and Young Joc performed their most recent hits, hyping the crowd up for performances by headliners Ciara and T.I. Here’s when it got interesting: Ciara–surprise, suprise–brought 50 Cent out to perform her new single, “Can’t Leave Him Alone”. The crowd went insane. Then 50 pulled the unexpected: he brought the majority of the G-Unit Fam out on stage, including Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, and Mobb Deep. They all performed 50’s street smash “I Get Money”.
At that point, the crowd was bugging out with excitement. G-Unit members then left the stage with 50. A few minutes later, when T.I. comes back to perform a new song off his album, “Watch What You Say To Me,” which features Jay-Z, the Jigga man came out to spit his verse. During the verse, 50 Cent re-emerged from backstage and came up behind Jay-Z. Jay looked at 50 and proclaimed, “No worries. It’s all good.” They shook hands.
Then the completely unexpected happened. Kanye West ran on stage and the DJ played “Can’t Tell Me Nothing”. The energy was INSANE. Even 50, who has been in the news for the past few weeks calling out Kanye and several other hip-hop heads, found himself bumping his head to the joint. During the song, Diddy and Swizz Beatz both came out on stage to perform with ‘Ye.
Diddy put his arms around ‘Ye and 50 as Swizz Beatz performed “Money In The Bank”. And when you thought it couldn’t get any crazier, 50 Cent then threw up the ROC sign. WHAT?!!!!! We all know about the Kanye and 50 beefing. Could this be 50’s way of surrendering to ‘Ye after making his ridiculous promise…
“Let’s raise the stakes,” the 31-year-old rapper told hip-hop Web site SOHH.com in an interview posted Friday. “If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I’ll no longer write music. I’ll write music and work with my other artists, but I won’t put out anymore solo albums.”
I smell regrets…
