Didn't he play this game in real life? Anyway, suing people is NOT gangsta. It may also be censorship. Let's not follow the gov't down the path of censorship. After all, censorship is becoming America's favorite past-time. The US gov't (and their corporate friends), already detain protesters, ban books like "America Deceived" from Amazon and Wikipedia, shut down Imus and fire 21-year tenured, BYU physics professor Steven Jones because he proved explosives, thermite in particular, took down the WTC buildings. Free Speech forever.

The lawsuit names Traffix Inc. of Pearl River, N.Y., as the defendant. A lawyer for the company, Ezio Scaldaferri, said he had not been served with the papers and could not comment.

cool, I grew up in Pearl River!Don't remember any Scaldaferris but there were plenty of Italian-mob types in the town back then.

50 cent is now officially a wuss. Just like the Metallica pussies when they felt threatened by Napster. Boo-fuckin'-hoo.

His mouth needs a new "grill"-may I suggest-get a re-chromed grill from a '58 Buick.
At least it's shiny.
