Some thug rappers have actual street cred. For example, 50 Cent got shot and lived, Tupac and Biggie got shot and died. As you can see, getting shot is a great way to solidify your status as "gangsta". Harrassing a 14-year-old is not. According to The Baker City Herald:
G-Unit rapper Tony Yayo was sentenced Thursday to 10 days of community service after pleading guilty to harassment of a recording rival's 14-year-old son.
Yayo, whose real name is Marvin Bernard, admitted in Manhattan Criminal Court that on March 20, 2007, he got out of a sport utility vehicle and "glared" at James Rosemond Jr. in a way that was "meant to threaten physical violence."
I would have much more respect for Yayo if he actually beat the crap out of the 14-year-old. At least then he'd have a reputation as some crazy DMX-style weirdo who would do anything at anytime. But getting arrested and slapped with community service for "glaring" at a 14-year-old makes you about as gangsta as William Hung and Hammer Pants.
