50 Cent channels Chevy Chase

Try not to let this destroy your faith in the hip hop generation:

Barrasso said it took security guards and two extra-duty police officers to push the rapper - who was carrying a pellet gun loaded with rubber BB bullets in a chic Gucci holster - back on stage.


From "National Lampoon's Vacation":

Lasky, Guard at Walleyworld (John Candy): That's not a real gun, is it Clark?

Clark (Chevy Chase): Are you kidding this is a Magnum P.I.
