50 Cent - News Posted by peach Wednesday, 22 February 2006

 Spike Lee, independent film maker who produced/directed films like Do The Right Thing, Malcolm X, and Inside Man is angry with 50' and has some harsh words for him...

'50 Cent has made a lot of money, but whatever you are doing that makes you have to put a bulletproof vest on your 5-year-old son, that`s time for some deep introspective (expletive),' the 'Malcolm X' director told Complex magazine.

Lee also said in the interview 'young brothers' seriously subscribe to 50 Cent`s 'Get Rich or Die Tryin`' mantra, the New York Daily News reported Tuesday.

'For me, that`s criminal,' Lee tells Complex magazine. 'Because young brothers, they took that to heart. (They`re like, `Whatever I got to do to get them rims, get my fly gear, to get my bitches and hos, I am going to do it. (Expletive) who I got to hurt, who I got to shoot, who I got to kill.` That`s crazy to me.'

Lee was also critical of the controversial posters for the 50 Cent movie, which showed the rapper carry firearms, the Daily News said.
