The other shot hit another person in the leg, prosecutors claim.Ī NovemNew York Times article provides more details on the circumstances. One shot hit Mizell in the head, killing him. Jordan went over to Mizell, pointed his gun at him, and “fired two shots at close range,” court papers claim. Washington pointed his gun at one of the people in the studio and ordered this person to lay on the floor. Here’s what we know about Mizell’s death and the case against Jordan and Washington now 18 years after the mainstream hip-hop pioneer’s murder.Īccording to federal prosecutors, Washington and Jordan burst into Mizell’s Jamaica, Queens, recording studio around 7:30 p.m. “The charges announced today begin to provide a measure of justice to the family and friends of the victim, and make clear that the rule of law will be upheld, whether that takes days, months or decades.” Attorney Seth DuCharme said in a statement announcing the indictment. “The defendants allegedly carried out the cold-blooded murder of Jason Mizell, a brazen act that has finally caught up with them thanks to the dedicated detectives, agents and prosecutors who never gave up on this case,” acting Brooklyn U.S. Prosecutors described Mizell’s grisly slaying as an “ambush and execution of a renowned musician and prominent member of the community.” Washington, who was sentenced to 210 months behind bars for these robberies, was supposed to be released in April 2021.

Don’t get lost in the post- The Massacre world, 50 has spit some of the best lines of all-time, especially in the Hard Rap genre.
With that said, let’s dive into 10 of 50 Cent’s most ruthless and aggressive, but also hottest lyrics involving guns and shooting. So when 50 Cent talks about shooting people or getting shot at, it’s not just an egregious use of violence to build brand, it’s a compelling fictionalized narrative of his life on the streets, where he was shot.
And much like Eminem’s whiteness turning into a positive for his career once he hit the mainstream, 50 Cent’s survival of a spraying of bullets took his already high perceived “realness” to levels perhaps not reached since Pac himself, who was also shot (only five times…) in NYC and survived. In addition, as 50 was rebuilding his buzz by flooding the market with album quality material alongside G-Unit members Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo, the great white hope was rising to top-of-the-game status with back-to-back classics: 1999’s The Slim Shady LP and 2000’s The Marshall Mathers LP, which sandwiched outstanding album-making contributions to Dre’s 2001 alongside Hit-Boy and others. With this, ongoing controversy surrounding the controversial cut Ghetto Quran, Jam Master Jay’s death and “How to Rob,” industry people were not keen on working with 50 (rumor has it he was “blackballed” from the industry) and he was simultaneously pissing off a lot of his would-be colleagues (some might be surprised to revisit Low Income on Wyclef’s The Ecleftic: 2 Sides II a Book and find a 50 Cent response).īut all was not bad, 50 recovered from the gunshots and although his voice had been altered by a bullet wound through the jaw, it wasn’t necessarily for the worst sonically. You might not have heard this album before because before it was released Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson was shot nine times and a shook Columbia released 50 Cent and never released the music. With Get Rich or Die Tryin, and a story that resonated across demographics, races and cultures, a new rap legend was made.īut before this flagship release, 50 Cent-former Jam Master Jay “protege”-had earned enough buzz to sign with Columbia Records and record an album, Power of the Dollar. “Go shorty, it’s your birthday.” Those handful of words that introduced 50 Cent to the masses became iconic, getting bumped by both young middle/upperclass (mostly) whites in the exurbs and lower class (mostly) blacks on the streets of 50’s hood in Queens, New York.
