G-Unity Donates $70K to Kids' Summer Camp

Wednesday, September 13, 2006
By: Kenny Rodriguez


50 Cent50 Cent's G-Unity Foundation, which provides grants to non-profit organizations, is helping dozens of kids from his hometown neighborhood attend a summer camp for the
performing arts.

A $70,000 grant is sending fifty teenagers from Jamaica, Queens to the Summer Stars Camp in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where they will learn about improvisational acting, musical theater, blues performance, choral singing, and music video production.

In August, the G-Unit rapper paid a visit to the summer camp and delivered a motivational speech to the youth group.

"These kids performed a great show for me," 50 Cent said in a press statement. "It was exciting and rewarding to interact with them and give them an opportunity to showcase their talent."

I am proud to see a man of 50 stature knowing the value of giving back to his community. God in turn bless those that help others, i guess he learning those basic rules of life.

Not to discredit the kind effort, but donating to charity is a way to help your releve your taxes, of which i am sure 50 pays a good amount.

Let em do whut he wants to do with "his" money. If he can help someone and help himself at the same time its a win win. Who cats "should" complain about is the government who "takes" you money before you even cash a check or its even deposited into your account. And what are they donating it to? the bomb your country aka more poor ppl like us fund. Lmao.

50, good looking out on the youth thing. Then again i never understood how one minute you "give money and teach positive things" and the next minute promote shooting and stabbing. Choose a lifestyle and stick to it. You never saw hitler giving help. How can you be a loving killer. I'm not saying we don't appreciate i'm just saying its crazy to help out, and then promote robbing people "the ski mask way" in your music.

Thats a beautiful point if your looking for direction from 50 on a education level. Its just a double edge sword. Does art potray life or the other way around. Seperate entertainment from reaility. 50 is a millionaire that lives in a mansion far away from the things he raps about....ppl do whut they want to do in the end. If 50 said read a book cats wouldnt do that....because they dont want to. Give the consumer more credit. Cats aint just brain dead, ask yourself why do they have a desire to hear murda rap all day like zombies....then im with you.

Lol yall really believe this too he prolly spent more than 70 grand publicizing the fact that he did this and the reason you dont hear about d block or cassidy doin this stuff is i know for a fact they go to the hood and personally help people out for the longest witout publicizin it lol i would bet anythin that fifty had security wit him if an when he met those kids lol cmon u really think they would let fifty come to jamiaca queens? well by the way im gonna go listen to some of fifties clasics like 'best friend' whoops i meant 'if i cant'

Like the say no matter what good you do some ppl always got something bad to say about. Give credit where credit's due. Abd why do ppl always say he can't go back to queen? i'll tell you what if you had 50's paper, i dont care how cool you think you are with everybody, that green eyed monster called jealousy i gonna rare it's head and who wants to be ducking and dodging bullets. Cain killed able remember that!
Posted by jah_bless
And i do remember game giving money in compton too.....so yeah he does too!
Posted by jah_bless
They say tha cuz its too many people he left out too dry out there and if he hadnt left them there would b no need to b dodgin they bullets
Posted by New Jerz Banga

Posted by StraightupG
Co*sign kalliope4eva. Ppls so quik 2 congratulate entertainers when they throwin out dollars on that side...but examine the other side of things, ...peep what esle these kids are recieivin, when they listen to dude music.....the observation is quite obivous...im not knockin 50, its a beauitful thing that he donated to those kids, but see what these entertainers need to understand is that money aint everythang, feed them knowledge give them something that will help them prosper. Instead of money, sex, drugs and uninfluential music.
Posted by Ms CadiGirl
Good looking out 50. I know people will say this is hatin or what not but next time send the kids to computer engineering or space camp. We got enough entertainers. We need our kids to grow up to be the next bill gates and richard branson.

People need to realize that many of these entertainers are from the same places we came from and they are just hustling their rhymes to live a happy and fruitful life. The lyrics may not be the best for children which is why you have to be 18 to purchase them. Which is also where parenting comes in at, you have to be a responsible parent and guide/raise your own children properly. Don't blame rappers for gettin paid the only way they know how because if you could get paid off of what you had to say then i know you would too!
Posted by MissTrinaD
Parents? whut are those? they no longer exist, you know whut do exist? dope dealers/convict/dead beat dads....and club hopper/leach/stripper moms...all operating off the same brain being fueled by they music they hear, and the images they see. But that was a good point ma'. But i dont think that parents wanna be responsible for these kids out here....90% of them are on meds. They dont whoop kids anymore....they just dope em up and sit them in front of the tell lie vision. Wonder why they are so messed up and cant think for themselves? their parents are the 80's crack babies that err'body had back in the day. Lmao.

^^miss trina & kalliope... I just find it sad that cats only getting paid to talk that crisco shyt... Ya know?? i mean i love all these cats for real... I can't front though they do frustrate me w/ all their contradictions but we live in a society full of contradictions so why does everyone want to point to rappers as the problem?? these cats is making chump change compared to the real criminals: the gov,the banks, the food and drug admin., the pharmaceutical companies, etc,etc... I mean who promotes drugs more effectively jay z & 50 or phillip morris (cigarette com)?? who causes more deaths?? yet jay & fiddy get all this heat while the ceo of phillip morris gets a nice lil chunk of the 95 billion$$ they did last year... 50 get bad press for driving w/out a license but budwiser and miller lite sponsor nascar drivers w/ their names across their chest, on the hood of the car and probably tattooed on their azz and then tell kids not to "drink and drive".... We are surrounded by hypocrisy so those who do have a light pass the torch and not the judgement... One.
Posted by Sho Intel
Exactly...i couldnt agree more with you. Like i say...cats attack 50, jay and ppl like that because its sad to say, but ppl only know whut they see on tell lie vision. Thats all they know outside of their hoods, a entertainer or some sort of sports figure. They dont realize like chris rock said....shyt shaq is rich, the cat that pays shaq is "weathy"...but shaq would give back to the hood. But you hear nothing of the cat that pays him giving.

50 cent you don't know how proud some of you hip hop artist are making my generation, keep lookin out for the youth. And let's work on the n-word, we are definitely better than that, i remember when schools were segregated and word was not cool coming from black or white. Make my grandfather proud he endured a lot to make a way for you to be doing what you are doing.
