07/29/08 - Dozens Waited For 50 Cent - New Movie 'Before I Self Destruct'

LostAngel · 07-29-2008, 10:28 AM

Dozens of fans waited opposite School 13 on Monday, straining their necks for a glimpse of rapper 50 Cent.

"If you want to see a star, you have to go through hell," complained Kashawn Norris, who was with her family. "I should have stayed in my house. I got his picture in my house."

Before long, Norris got her wish, as the rapper, clad in dark jeans, a matching T-shirt and a red baseball cap, emerged from the school. A cheer went up from the crowd. Camera phones were whipped out, and the flashes started.

Norris clapped her hands in joy as her face broke into a smile.

For the past week, 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has been using the city as the backdrop for his film, "Before I Self Destruct." The title is also the name of his forthcoming album.

One lucky Paterson youngster who was making her film debut was 11-year-old Shanasia Parker, who was among the group of students in the school shot.

"She was very excited," said her father, James Parker, 42, who said his daughter wants to be an actress when she grows up.

Jamie Bland, who runs Jump Start, which teaches life skills to students, played a teacher in the movie.

She described the day of filming as "wonderful."

"This was a positive thing for [the children]," she said, "because they got a chance to see positive role models and see people who are successful fulfilling their career goals. This is motivational for them. It helps build and mold the kids for the future."

Children, mothers and some grandmothers were among those waiting for the hit-making rapper. Many had heard that last week 50 Cent met fans, signed autographs and took pictures when he filmed at the now-empty Alexander Hamilton Housing Development, and they hoped he would do the same on Monday.

In the afternoon, the rapper came outside of the school building and waved at the gathering.

Nicole and Na-koyiss Jackson, no relation to the rapper, showed off the photographs they took with 50 Cent at Alexander Hamilton last week. They said they were touched by how down-to-earth he seemed to be.

"He is more humble," than he appeared on television, Nicole Jackson said. "He was very approachable. He loved the kids."

haha i dont usually hate on rappers but why you hating on 50 cent so hard? he recouped with curtis, massacre, grodt, grodt soundtrack. he getting money while you on here hating.

snoop dogg fell off harder than 50 cent, he's on that rnb BS, he's a glorified pop star.
also how many times has snoop been caught with fire arms, drugs and other petty crimes and not get locked up? where i'm from the only way avoid jail time after the amount of times snoop been caught is to snitch. i mean even paris hilton did 90 days or something so don't say it cos he has a good lawyer.

however no hate if snoops next album is produced by dre it will be good, he needs to stay away from pharrell!

G Bird · 07-29-2008, 02:04 PM

LMAO this is hilarious, he's shooting a movie that nobody has heard of, there is no promotion, and the album of the same name will flop just as bad as this movie. I'm not hating either, I'm talking sensible. All you groupies believing this movie is gonna sell are so far outta your minds... 5-0 puts that battery in your backs and you fags would probably die for him, hahaha! If he told you to kill your own family, I know you dickriders wouldn't think twice before blastin their heads off.

You claim your talking "sensible" then go onto half assed comments like "you fags would probably die for him" and "kill your own family".

Without any thought or consideration for others, parading around 50 Cent threads like the king of comedy on prime time television, clearly shows the highlight of your week is to beat a 50 cent picture placed on the punch bag your mum and dad got their special soldier for his 18th.

Grow up "G" bird.
