Bang Em Smurf: How 50 Cent sent Him Back to The Hood & Bought Him Out

Today we are talking about a man fairly well known within the Hip-Hop community but not necessarily for being an artist. A self-proclaimed gangster; Bang ‘em Smurf is quite an elusive character with very little in the way of a paper trail – but that’s probably due to his shady after-work activities. He grew up with 50 Cent and formed part of the original G-Unit posse before it was a rap group; messing with the rapper in the years before he took off. However the two had a falling out after 50 cleaned up his street image and signed with Shady Records; leaving his homies in Queens and ignoring Smurf when he was in jail. This led to a fairly-well publicized beef between the duo after Smurf got out with diss tracks coming from both sides. Bang ‘em teamed up with fellow former G-Unit artist Domination and they formed their own duo; founding a label and building it in an effort to rival G-Unit Records. Unfortunately while things were going well for him and it seemed Bang ‘em might become notorious and successful – perhaps the next Suge Knight but more on the low and less blacklisted; it all came crashing down after he was sent to jail to serve a 3.5 year bid. After serving his time; Smurf was immediately deported to Trinidad and Tobago; stalling his career once and for all. So with such a beef-feuled story; I hope you’re hungry – lets get into the video!
