GUNIT DOES AFRICA...AGAIN


50 seems to not have let the chain snatching incident prevent him from going back home. Gunit toured througout Africa including: South Africa, Angola and Tanzania with crowds upwards of 15,000. The last rapper to tour there (Jay Z) drew a crowd of 5,000.

50 is wholly conscious of the impact he's making, acknowledging that most of the people who came to his shows in Africa probably have heard his music through bootlegs and the Internet. "It's a bigger sacrifice for them to actually attend these shows," he said. "You know, something is not happening in their lives for a month because they decided to spend money to buy tickets. It's, like, 'OK, we're not driving this month because we're going to see that show.' It's a big deal to them. It means something more to them than it means to attend a concert in the U.S. So, for me, that's exciting."
