An Addition to the Semiotics of Judaism in Hip-Hop


50 performing at a Jew Unit bat mitzvah. For real.

And this time, it's not even Jim Jones and the Dips.

Last week, on Hot 97, 50 cent said the following:

50 Cent called into "Miss Jones in the Morning" on Hot 97 yesterday and said the 29-year-old Yayo's troubles won't hurt his crew.

But then he added, "Worry about the Je-Je-Je-Jew unit. They're the real goon squad. When the lawyers come out, you'll see what it is. I don't pay nobody. I only pay the lawyers."
A page from the the Micheal Ray rhyme book. J-J-J-J-J-J-Jew U-nit!

I swear, we're about ten minutes away from some dumb-ass label signing a Jewish rapper and calling him "Da Lawyer." He'd have a crew called the Get Paper Guild; his imprint would be Kosher Lawyer Records; his first album would be called Torah Service; he'd have guests on his mixtapes with names like Shabbas Goy; and he'd drop lines like "We roll deep/In the lineup, every batter's paid/Grind six days a week/Don't rhyme on Saturdays." And no one in the industry would have a problem with it.

Unbelievable.
