Smoking Gun: NYPD's Rap Files & 50 Cent

The initial inspiration for Ski Mask Way was the NYPD's hip hop dossier from which The Smoking Gun posted excerpts back in '05.

Though The Smoking Gun reminded us of their contributions to hip hop history by claiming that Cam snitched, given that Cam and 50 have been going at it regarding snitching, it's surprising that they failed to mention the similar finding that 50 Cent also reported attacks to the police.
