50 Cent’s Comments On Alicia Key’s, “Gangsta Rap,” Comments

“If she don’t like that, (then) I don’t like that classical music s— she be doing. At some point she’s playing some s— that don’t relate to me. … We listen to it and try to figure out why people actually enjoy it. I am trying to enjoy it. That statement changes my perception of Alicia Keys totally. But the magazine is standing behind it, which means they probably have a tape of her in conversation saying it. It’s just not really a bright comment anyway.”

“Try to figure out why people actually enjoy it,” thoughts on that comment?

More On Alicia Keys

But I don’t think that [her] classical sh*t is cool. I don’t give a f*ck if you can classically play the piano. I haven’t been classically trained, because my upbringing, nobody put me in front of a piano at that time. If they did, I would know how to do it as well as she does. I could learn how to play the piano if I was passionate about it right now. That’s obviously my perspective evaluating what she does, and I could f*cking care less about the sh*t.

How do you look at women? As hoes? If that’s the case that hiphop made you look at the average woman as a hoe then you have some serious issues and you need a reality check. You can’t blame hiphop for that, you just a weakminded person. Please explain what you mean hiphop made you look at women in a certain way.

why does 50 feel he needs to comment on everything everybody says? honestly this dude aint even the force he used to be in the hiphop game. Now he’s just taking the role of hiphop commentator, dude needs to get a show on the E channel with all the stuff he has to say about the music industry, politics( I remember him talking greazy about Obama) and whatever else he feels he needs to let off his chest.

WHITE BREAD........CHICAGO wrote on April 18th, 2008 at 3:44 pm

two can play that game right, she doesn’t like gangsta music meaning she must not be a fan of 50 music. And he flat out said that he doesn’t like her classical music, It obvious that they both grew up listening and making there different type of music. And it obvious that they both have there own opinion about what they feel can you blame them NO. i mean i respect both of them as artist, they both have simularity toward album sell and the quality material that they release period. And for most of you blogs who are saying that alicia keys make better music then 50, well it kinda hard to say that being that they both create different music and one is a hiphop artist and the other is a R&B artist. I wouldn’t judge them base on there music being that there music is different, for me i would judge them more on there comment and as far as 50. I agree and disagree on what said i mean with Alicia keys saying that she doesn’t respect or like gangsta music in general must mean that she must not be a fan of 50 music, so why should he be a fan of her music but then again 50 is wrong being that she never said it directly to him that she wasn’t a fan of his gangsta music. Now as for alicia keys i agree and disagree on what she said being that gangsta rap has alot to do with rappers lyrically destroying each other lyrically turn in to physically until somebody end up dead, but then again i don’t agree with her being that she never grew up listening to gangsta but instead she judges it which i don’t agree with that. i mean if you don’t listen to a certain type of music then you shouldn’t judge it, like for example im not a fan of rock&roll music but your not going to hear me talk about rock&roll music was a ploy to convince gothic people to belive in the devil.

WHITE BREAD........CHICAGO wrote on April 18th, 2008 at 4:52 pm

i personally don’t think that there will be a beef between 50 and alicia key. i think 50 is just supporting and defending gangsta rap being that gangsta rap is hiphop to him, now to must people he may be a gangsta rapper and to other he may not be a gangsta rapper. but being that he’s has that experience as far as growing up listening and making gangsta rap music im sure that why he has a probably with alicia keys, kinda like if you were an R&B artist and a hiphop artist said something ignorant about R&B which made you feel uncomfortable. im sure you will speak out and defend R&B music like 50 defending gangsta rap music, cuz to me it seem like 50 is the only rapper supporting gangsta music. i mean when you hear gangsta rap one of the few rappers you think of is 50.

Check Alicia Key’s influences: Roberta Flack, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight, Isaac Hayes, Prince, Sade, Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, The Notorious B.I.G., D’Angelo, Maxwell, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Common, Nas.

Forget 50. All of those names are much more influential than 50 ever will, except probably D’Lo and Maxwell. A. Keys will be in that list as one of the greats one day. 50 Cent won’t.

White Bread the only cat on here making some actual sense… I guess yall dickheads can’t figure out, if they didn’t ask 50 about the Alicia’s comments, he wouldn’t have a comment, i’m pretty sure they looked for the face of Gansta Rap, i.e 50 cents, and they asked him what he thought about her commments, and 50 being the dude that neva bites his tounge answered the shit really truthfully. I’m pretty sure alot of people did not like the comments alicia keys made and thats why she tried to correct herself and save face, and now niggas is on her side cause 50 gettin up that ass. Good 50, defend the shit that u believe in. Fuck that dycke, real niggas ain’t listening to Alicia anyway, thats shit for the bitches, i need that bust your gun shit, that boom boom clap… fuck RnB

Also, all she did was say she doesn’t like some gangsta rap, and the image it protrays. I hate the image too. I mean, it’s entertaining, I listen to it, but I wouldn’t let my son listen to it. He can listen to A. Keys all day. So I feel her.

they are to different artist and last thing i knew 50 sold way more records than alicia… but its ok, alicia gets the awars because she talks about that lovie dubby shit, 50 cashes them checks… Look at Mary J, the hood loves her but the grammies just started recognizing her, becasue they didn’t want that ghetto shit around and Alicai won more awards than mary, and Mary is much better. Besides 50 is reacting to comments she made not the other way around, she started the shit.

2nd alicia keys doesnt make classical music, she makes r and b music. a form of hiphop, the same form of hiphop 50 makes.
how can u knock sumone cuz they know how to play a piano, should she be ashamed because she knows sumthing most people in her neighborhood may not know? does that make her less black cuz she wants better for blacks and she doesnt like the image gangsta rap portrays sumtimes?
let him keep talking so he can keep losing fans, his fan base isnt as strong, smart, or as paid as alicia’s fan base is. its like the kanye battle all over, jealous ass nigga

Da Baddest B!tch wrote on April 18th, 2008 at 6:45 pm

Oh wow sometimes this site lacks people with english comprehension. I don’t hate 50 more than I like him. There’s a balance between the two because I love to hate him. He’s a funny individual but now I’m just mad at the fact he didn’t actually understand what Alicia was talking about. Alicia never said she didn’t like Gangsta Rap, she said the government were the ones that created the term, not the actual music itself.

In regards to Biggie and Tupac, she said she doesn’t know who killed them but believes the media sensationalized their rivalry and deaths which is true. People feed into any type of controversy; beef. It was so obvious there was time where Tupac just LOVED to be heard talking about his beef with Biggie. He was always outspoken. People glorified the whole West/East Coast beef which had people shooting each other for no reason in exception of which coast they’re from. If the media didn’t put that on such a pedastal, maybe people wouldn’t have paid attention to it so much. Alicia feels as though the media or the goverment should have taken a better approach to handle the problems the rappers were always voicing about. Whether it was fix the projects or help the community in general.

50 sounds really ignorant because Alicia is not condemning Gangsta Rap. Why would Ice Cube be all over Alicia? if he has proper english comprehension which is something you should have by the time you are a freshman in high school, he would understand what she is talking about. She even called in radio stations to clarify what she said which shows some people need to read a book. 50 resorting to saying things like ” i hate her music” or “if i had learned to play the piano like her…” shows what type of person he really is.

@22 that didn’t make any sense! You can compare there music. They don’t have to be in the same categorey to say who is better. Alicia hands down make better music than he do. It is what it is. His best album was his first album. Now he all about making this mainstream cotton candy fluff music. He isn’t a gangsta rapper anyway! It’s funny how during an interview 50 said he love Alicia’s music. Now that he got his feelings hurt( which i don’t know why)he want to say i don’t get her….. What we watch do effect us like it or not.

NO your post didn’t make sense #35 benny’..this have nothing to do with who better, and know you can’t compare there music together. and yes 50 is a gangsta rapper wheather you belive it or not they put him under gangsta rap, now if 50 was an R&B singer then you can compare there music. and if alicia keys was an hiphop artist then you can compare there music. comparing a hiphop and R&B artist togather i don’t think you can, now as for you on the other hand may think there music are the same. but with you saying hand down that alicia key music is better then 50 to be honest your waisting your time. i wouldn’t even compare kanye to 50 being that kanye is a hiphop artist and 50 is a gangsta rapper and there music as far as lyric and beat and what they talk about are totally different, now if it was rappers like the game fat joe lil wayne t.i. randomly speakin then you can compare there music. but to compare alicia keys music to 50 i don’t think so you just can’t compare them, maybe you could compare the statment they made but not there music period.

WOW i didn’t know that we were pickin side between the 2. and i also didn’t know that it was about album sell and how did kanye get into this, it funny how people say gangsta rap is a gimmick like it a bad thing. i mean it may be true but to speak on it like it a bad thing knowing good and well that alot of fans buy into gangsta rap being that gangsta rap sell and being that it will continue to sell, it seem like now people have a problem with it. and if that the case then you might as well blame NWA for creating it right, funny thing about it is now that 50 feel uncomfortable about what alicia said. now people are saying that gangsta rap is a gimmick, knowing good and well that there a lot of rappers in the game right now playing gangsta image. i guess people are just to jealous to admitt that 50 play well as a popular gangsta rapper who is succesful at it, but like i said 90% of you blogs who are hating on 50 success as a gangsta rapper will cope that gimmick lock&load album. i bet if 50 release an album called ‘gangsta rappin is a gimmick’ ya would still cope the fuck album so shut up and stop hating, cuz ya know if that was your favorite rapper who commented on alicia keys like 50 did ya would support that rapper. but then again i guess 50 was gangsta enough to say something, and support the type of music he makes unlike must rappers.

Look at what were his singles after His first album: Candy shop, amusement park, follow my lead, Ayo technology, window shopper,(etc). there’s nothing gangsta about those songs. hate it or love it, alicia does make better music. you and 50 need to stop being so sensitive and move on.

50 is a truly ignorant dude. His statement doesn’t even make sense. She never said she didn’t like rap music. All she was saying is gangster rap was sensationalized by the gov’t and media which is true. In that article she was asked what was her favorite Biggie song and she answered and explained why she liked the song so she never said she didn’t like the music. Not only is the magazine standing by the interview but so is Alicia. She said the interview over all was good and she was pleased with it but that those statements needed to be clarified she never said no I didn’t say that she just said let me clarify. You can tell that the statements were taken out of context especially with the whole AK thing like are you crazy. AK Alicia Keys makes sense right! People really need to move on. If 50 would spend the energy he spends on talking shit about other people on making good music maybe I could respect him more. Now that peeps could care less about his issues with other rappers he is moving to R&B chicks! I haven’t bought a 50 CD since get rich.

WHITE BREAD........CHICAGO wrote on April 19th, 2008 at 12:32 am

#47… your probably white your self so shut up, anyway why do people think that just becuz 50 brought out a few song talking about chick that he still can’t be out under gangsta rap. I mean did people forget about song like ‘fully loaded clip’ ’still will kill’ ‘many men’ ‘hustler ambition’ ‘man down’ not only that you acting like other gangsta rapper don’t put out song that referr to women, but like i said 50 is a gangsta rapper i mean when 50 first came out his attitude and character as a gangsta rapper was impactive. Now it getting to a certian point where he has to switch it up a lil, plus weren’t people bitching about him being to gangsta now that he switch it up a lil. Now song like ‘candy shop’ ‘follow my lead’ ‘ayo technology’ ‘window shopper’ and ‘amusment park’ doesn’t make a gangsta rapper, funny enough those song didn’t have to be gangsta but they were hits. And to me 50 ain’t got to prove nothing as far as being a gangsta rapper he can be a R&B singer. But being that his character as a gangsta rapper was so impactive people still know him as a gangsta rapper, like for example kanye west if his next 4th coming album talk about money hoe’s cars and close to me he will still be known as a hiphop artist even those those topic aren’t hiphop, but being that his last 2 album were straight hiphop then it wouldn’t be a problem if he switch it up a lil. And to me kanye doesn’t really to prove nothing in hiphop being that his last 2 were hiphop. And if his album supposedly talk about money car and hoe’s he would still be a hiphop artist to me. And the same shit go for 50 he doesn’t really have to prove nothing as a gangsta rapper being that he became very succesful at it. And now it to a point where 50 can put out song about women and still be known for being a gangsta rapper being that he doesn’t have to prove himself as a gangsta rapper, so if you hear a new song from him called ”ring around the rosie”or ”patty cake” it doesn’t mean he not a gangsta rapper it just mean he steppin away from it a lil bit.

Nigga are still talking shit, when Alicia Keys dropped her comments everybody under the sun was disagreeing with her but 50 defending Hiphop & Gangasta Rap and niggas hate on 50 for that . Alicia Keys falls in the sam category as Kayne & Oparah who never grew up in the hood but in the white middle class areas of American so they don’t experience what most rappers experienced even Em experienced them. Remember Oparah they way she treated Ludacris on her show ? & not allowing Ice Cube on her show ? Oparah allows rapist,murders on her show but not rappers. Oparah aint black she is a white women in a black womens skin.

So she don’t like the music that embodies the harsh realities because they’re not her realities. She hasn’t been subjected to the same things. 50 Is right they aren’t her realities but they alot of rappers realities growing up. Alicia Keys needs to think before she talk about Gangasta Rap which she has no clue about.

Furious Styles: Why is it that there is a gun shop on almost every corner in this community?
The Old Man: Why?
Furious Styles: I’ll tell you why. For the same reason that there is a liquor store on almost every corner in the black community. Why? They want us to kill ourselves.

Furious Styles: Rick, it’s the Nineties. Can’t afford to be afraid of our own people anymore, man.

The Old Man: Ain’t nobody from outside bringing down the property value. It’s these folk, shootin’ each other and sellin’ that crack rock and shit.
Furious Styles: Well, how you think the crack rock gets into the country? We don’t own any planes. We don’t own no ships. We are not the people who are flyin’ and floatin’ that shit in here.
Furious Styles: [referring to drug epidemic] I know every time you turn on the TV thats what you see, Black People, pushing the rock, selling the rock, that’s what you see. But see that wasn’t a problem as long as it was here
[referring to Compton, Watts, other Black ghettos]
Furious Styles: . It wasn’t a problem until it was in Iowa or on Wall Street where there are hardly any black people.

and yes the unit is over, you’re talking about the N.Y. here in cleveland and other major cities they aren’t making any noise.

People that never been through struggle nd never grew up in da hood always have something to say about those who came from the bottom nd made it.

Let 50 cent do his thing every1 clearly knows that he had a hard time growing up nd props never had the chance to enjoy the things he enjoyin now..nd for those ppl that say hiphop made me look at women in a certain balbla you are jus really stupid for saying that..aint u never had a primary caregiver to teach you how to act?? What you gotta know is you are your OWN man nd u can decide wat to lisen to so if you feel that hiphop makes you do bad things den i suggest you should not listen to it simple as that!!!

i agree people do hang on 2 these celebrities every word like their god or somebody. Bottom line is niggas steady talking about how many 9’s and hollows they bustin when in reality their somewhere laid up in a mansion with maids and shit. Niggas on here arguing about who more gangster when they still in the hood actually doing or witnessing real gangsta shit themselves. Alicia from the hood she just has a different perspective so does Kanye, they cant help it that although they seen the same shit weve seen on the block in the hood their mothers tried to expose them to other things to show them its not all about drugs gangs and guns. niggas like 30 years old still talking about guns bitches and hoes drugs you gotta grow up and be real with yourself that shit aint fly. If niggas on here believing most of what 90% of these rappers say yall some simple minded people.

Some of y’all are just as dumb as he is.

Alicia never said she didn’t LIKE “Gangster” rap, she said it was the term “Gangsta” that the media labeled the rap which she disliked. She’s basically saying, why couldn’t it just be Rap? instead of putting a bad label on it and now everybody wants to be “gangsters”…The woman said in the same interview that she was a DIE hard fan of Pac and Biggie, aren’t they Gangster Rappers?????????? She love Method Man isn’t he a rapper? 50 Cent is speaking from idiocy once again.

ALSO! Alicia grew up in Hell’s Kitchen, she was at gun point before and got pulled a knife on…..She just chose a different route from 50 Cent, they were raised in the same environment, she just bettered herself.

The reason 50’s comments were so dumb is because nothing he said pertained to what she was speaking about. He needs to find some comprehension fast as well as most of you on here needs to also.

WHITE BREAD........CHICAGO wrote on April 19th, 2008 at 10:03 pm

LMAO.. exactly my point nobody can answer that question that if 50 or g-unit career is over or dead, then what is fat joe camron ja rule and the game. And basically 50 career as a rapper is not over i mean if your a plat rapper there know way your career is over. And if being as plat rapper mean that your career is over then ya should say the same shit to kanye or jay-z becuz there plat rappers. I mean i can see if your plat rapper and with every album you put out album the sell keep getting lower until you become a plastic or aluminum rapper, then that when you can say that a rappers career is over and that there dead kinda like fat joe career which is a perfect example, now as big as bootlegging is it will be hard for your favorite rapper to sell big numbers. But as for 50 when his last album came out as much as alot of fans were hating on him his album still went plat, now for his status his album did poor but compare to must rappers he did well. I predict that must of your favorite rappers who album go plat or gold in the future there album will be sell terribly it would either sell from 50k to 100k, unless they have a big fans base that would make your album sell 10x plat like 50, beside that as for 50 you can’t tell me that his career is over cuz that basically putting him in the same catergory as fat joe ja rule camron the game and even nelly knowing good and well you can’t compare there career to 50, becuz 50 album still sell but as far as your other favorite rappers there album don’t. And basically what im tryin to say is 50 career is not over being that you have other rappers like fat joe selling 60k on his last album, so the fact of the matter is g-unit is not dead wheather you like them or not. I mean if g-unit is dead then fat joe the game ja rule and camron must be extinct. And by me proving my point im ending it by just saying that you shouldn’t mistake or mix your favorite rappers poor career over 50 career by saying that g-unit is dead, not even that i bet you when that ‘gangsta grillz’ mixtape come out ya would cope that it including that g-unit album watch and if anybody have something to say to prove me wrong then BRING IT.

I don’t understand why so many hiphop fans want rappers they aren’t really big fans of to fail and retire all the time? The more hiphop artists that sell albums the better. It’s good for hiphop music period. We need as many big stars as possible or else record companies lose interest in signing new up and coming artists. I wish G-unit all the best and I’m not even a big fan but if they do well at the end of the day it’s good for Hiphop music.

Aight…now as far as 50 and Alicia goes…Alicia is right about everything she said. Her words were taken out of context which is what usually happens in the media and she clarified what she said. Even after doing so what she said still made alot of sense to the modern day intellectual which 50 is clearly not.

I grew up in the hood too…and had it really rough for the most part but I made a change and in no way would i glorify that shit and sell it to young kids…if you are going to discuss your struggles in the form of art then you should also have alot of positive things to say and solutions…you made it out so u need to inspire and his music does not do that point blank.

I didnt finish reading all the comments but I dont think Alicia said anything wrong. I think 50 just likes to pick at things and make things bigger than what it is. Come on everyone, just look at his history, he complains and whines about whatever little thing someone else does instead of just focusing on his shit. As you can see, every record he puts out, his sales decline because of his whining. Damn, someone needs to complain about his fucking whining.lol. But anywho, someone also had a stupid “theory” that alicia doesnt sell, well lets see her, she sold like 23 fucking million albums and counting and her 1st ablum was diamond (10 million or more) so get your fucking facts straight before you talk shit.

Everyone know she told the truth.The term ‘gangsta rap was coined by CNN and other mainstream media outlets.Being the sheep that many of you are,most of you bought into the hype.I was there is South Queens back in the day and I never saw one person shot.Beat downs yes but guns?No that was when these idiots decided they wanted to exploit their community by selling their souls for a few bucks.They created the drama by themselves.Look at that fool Uncle Murder,he wants to sell records so bad he wants to create an image.Best yet look at Akon turns out he never had any run ins with the law.But he said I’ll still kill you along with you homos hero 50 cent.When are you grown men going to stop being hi hop clowns and get a life.Stop living your life through these rappers.They all live in gated communities while you are broke and poor.And you will die that way if you don’t change.
