A timely message from the Notorious M.E.D.

In light of the brutal murder of Derrion Albert, we asked Michael Eric Dyson to give some words of encouragement to the misguided young black men of today.

And he quotes “New York State of Mind”.

Obviously no mention of Beans.

3:35-4:00 I love the way 50 did with his dawgs. If you look at it, them dudes got more money and more bread than anybody in State Property. Cuz 50 made sure of that. 50 went on tour AND paid them. Not tell them it was a good look for them to be on the tour and things like that. True story, I’m sitting on house arrest and the Young Gunz call my phone cuz Jay-Z is only paying them $1200 a show. And they had to split it.
