This Week in Rap Music: 50 Cent Sued for Being a "Gangsta" |
Holla. So, this week, our boy 50 Cent and his record company are being sued for promoting the "gangsta lifestyle."
Is nothing sacred in this country anymore?
I thought you should know that I, too, have actually filed suit against 50 Cent this week, but for an unrelated matter. Below you can read the initial complaint filed by my lawyer:
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
MR. 50 CENT aka FITTY aka CURTIS JACKSON III
Defendant
v.
MR. KEVIN J. ALLOCCA
Plaintiff
Plaintiff, Mr. Kevin J. Allocca, by his undersigned counsel, sues Defendant, Curtis Jackson III, hereafter recognized as Mr. Cent, and, in support, states as follows:
Mr. Allocca seeks remuneration for damages totaling $14.99 from Mr. Cent as well as an apology for making the album Curtis, which Mr. Allocca alleges is "not good at all."
On or about September 10, 2007, defendant, Mr. Cent, falsely and fraudulently represented to plaintiff that he: had actually made a good album.
The representations made by defendant were in fact false. The true facts were as follows: The album was not good. (Explained below)
As a proximate result of Mr. Cent's fraud and deceit and the facts herein alleged, the plaintiff has been damaged in the sum of: $14.99, a cost incurred when he entered into a contract with the defendant via the item's purchase in a Target retailer in Queens, New York.
In doing the acts herein alleged, defendant acted with oppression, fraud, and malice, and plaintiff is additionally entitled to: an apology.
Mr. Allocca and his attorney recognize that Mr. Cent is a respected artist and acknowledge that his work on Get Rich or Die Tryin and The Massacre is both entertaining and competent. However, Mr. Allocca is already in possession of those albums.
Though the plaintiff expresses regret that Mr. Cent was shot nine times and acknowledges that Mr. Cent was an unwilling party in the shooting of himself nine times, said incident does not make amends for the number of times Mr. Allocca was subjected to the mention of this assault inserted into a rhyming scheme.
Mr. Allocca indicates that he is aware Mr. Cent previously sustained the infliction of nine firearm injuries. He is also aware Mr. Cent is wealthy. He is aware that Mr. Cent has the ability to quickly amass large capital, via business arrangements, to the extent that a fiscal analyst could, feasibly, certify him as "stanky rich," were such a distinction popularly accepted in financial circles. Above all, Mr. Allocca is certainly aware that Mr. Cent's influence in New York City is akin to that of city manager or other respected official whom could be considered to "run" the New York metropolitan area.
Constant repetition of such claims, when coupled with the compact disc's poor aerodynamic quality, has thus rendering the album Curtis, useless for both listening to and throwing.
(Described above)
Mr. Allocca is insulted by Mr. Cent's predictable collaboration with Mr. Justin Timberlake. While the recording benefits from exceptional production value from Mr. Timbaland, Mr. Allocca and his attorney believe that any artists' work containing a song about watching pornography sung by Justin Timberlake is reprehensible to both a court of law and public decency, and, as such, this court must take appropriate judicial action against it at its earliest convenience to prevent Mr. Allocca from making any more disgusted faces.
As stated above, Mr. Cent collaborated with popular artist Justin Timberlake on the song "AYO (Technology)." This act is clearly the first in a pattern to commit conspiracy to simply sell albums by having predictable top 40 vocalists perform the refrains to his songs. Other instances exhibited include: Robin Thicke, Akon, Mary J. Blige, and some woman from the Pussycat Dolls.
In fact, Mr. Allocca regards it a minor miracle that there were no appearances by Natasha Bedingfield or Sean Kingston.
The following witnesses will provide testimony before the court in support of the plaintiff's allegations of fraud:
-Kanye West
-Jermaine Dupri
-The Game
-The president of Target
The plaintiff will additionally provide expert testimony from his roommate George, who also has suffered through this album.
Plaintiff, at the time false representations were made by defendant and at the time plaintiff took the actions herein alleged, was ignorant of the falsity of defendant's representations and believed them to be true. In reliance on these representations, plaintiff was induced to and did: buy the album Curtis, resulting in him becoming disappointed and annoyed. Had plaintiff known the actual facts, Mr. Allocca would not have: bought the album Curtis.
Plaintiff demands a trial by jury.
Respectfully submitted,
Herbert Hobart, Esquire, J.D.
On behalf of:
Kevin J. Allocca, B.A. Communication and Film Studies
