On Benefiting From the Deaths of Rappers

With some sort of investigation underway and police searching for The Game and crew while he spills his guts onstage and cops pose with 50 Cent, Adisa Banjoko attacks profiteers who stand to benefit from the possible deaths of The Game and 50 Cent.  On a page full of advertising at AllHipHop.com, Banjoko’s editorial decries the fact that "Black America buys its own death right back in any form it can – accept [sic] books."
