Tony Yayo to get protest in his honor

After taking the whole "hip-hop is damaging to young children" thing a little too literally, G-Unit associate Tony Yayo will be the focus of a peaceful rally on Monday.
Led by a group including hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons and Rev. Al Sharpton, Monday's protest aims to ... well, we're not sure what it aims to do. We are pretty sure, however, that a grown man who will hand a 14-year-old kid a beating will not respond to peace, love and reason.
But we certainly support the cause. "The theme of the Hip-Hop Summit is taking back responsibility," said Dr. Benjamin Chavis of the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network. "With artistic freedom comes responsibility." Can't argue with that.
