SH: Bang 'Em Smurf sentenced to 3 1/2 years.
Tuesday, August 17, 2004
Former G-Unit member Bang ‘Em Smurf is behind bars, jailed on charges from the incident that he claims sparked his feud with 50 Cent.
Smurf is serving a 3 ˝ year term due to gun charges that stemmed from a neighborhood beef that resulted in a shootout.
“I was in my hood one day - that's when 50 had kicked us off the road [from touring],” Smurf revealed to AllHipHop.com. “That's when I first started working with Domination. I had a mixtape with Domination, and I'm on the block and my homie got a situation, and this dude he had a problem with knocked him out. Laid him flat out in front of me, and that's my dude. So we did what we did. Dudes we got in the conflict with kept it gutter. They got hit up, they didn't say nothing - they didn't go to no hospital in Queens. I respect their gangsta.”
It was around this time that Smurf alleges 50 Cent stopped communicating with him, resulting in a verbal feud between the two men.
The timing is bad for Smurf, who signed his GF Records to a deal with Koch and was preparing to release an album in September. That plan has been abandoned and Smurf said that his album will not hit stores until October.
“Me being in jail is going to help us out even more,” Smurf said optimistically. “That's what I think. And I get to see who my real [friends] are. DJ Domination is about his business - he's gonna grind. I'm real confident.”
Additionally, Smurf said that he would use his time behind bars wisely and would get his G.E.D.
“Three years, I ain't mad at that,” Smurf said. “I can do that. I can get my business mind for real, for real now. Read some books, get my GED, take some other courses. People can write to me - it's all good, but they gotta wait til I get situated upstate. I'm still up here on the boat.”

you can tell this man ain't real. Most of the people in the game ain't real, and if this is someone 50 used to kick it with, then I see how his not real. Smurf is a wannabe, 'cause only wannabes wanna go to jail to help themselves. Real muthaphukkaz don't wanna go back. I don't know one real muthaphukka that looks forward to going to prision. They accept that they have to go to prision, but they aren't like, I can't wait to go to get my GED and get higher album sales. Only wannabe muthaphukkaz wanna go to jail.
