Oh, no! I'm sure Alicia Keys is weeping into her pillow right now, because 50 Cent has just announced that he no longer likes her or her sissy piano playing.
"I don’t like Alicia Keys no more…If she thinks what they consider [to be] gangsta music is [made] to bring black people down, then I think my s–t falls into that category. I don’t like people who don’t like me… I don’t think that [her] classical s–t is cool. I don’t give a f–k 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…I could f–king care less about the s–t. 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."
Even if Alicia Keys is some paranoid conspiracy theorist, we should all take comfort in the fact that she's not living in 50 Cent's world of delusion. It's either that or I've gravely misunderstood the lyrics to his songs and the words he speaks on a regular basis. [E!]

If there's one thing that I don't like is when entertainers speak on things that have been cleared up already. Talk about a day late and a dollar short.
We all know Hell's Kitchen was the 'burbs pre-gentrification. All those hookers, druggies, alkis, and muggers — boy was that nothing.
And what is with these Black menchildren crying about somebody not liking their shit? Niggas is really on they sack.
Does 50 have something coming out? A CD, some shoes, a new overpriced pointless drink? 'Cause I fail to see the point of him saying anything about that.
Ice Cube, Snoop, the ones who would more likely to be associated with the term "gangsta rap" have been mum on the subject.
It's just so…childish.
50 can say whatever he has the right of speech just like the rest of us. his statements are no more ignorant as the replies i read on most of these blogs.
Thank tayo. Neither one of them really knows anything about gangsta rap.
*you*
Ain't nobody care about what 50's monkey lookin-ass got to say anyway. Done.
The nigga 50 held a meeting with his dick and Yayo's mouth!
Who the fuck is 50 to say Alicia Keys is shit?! 'I GET MONEY! MUH-MUH-MONEY!' Yeah you get money, and some G-Unit dick, but you don't get the respect from the hood; matter of fact nigga you lost street cred.
Alicia Keys has talent, unlike you you faggot ass fuck! The only good tunes you have (and when I say tunes I mean BEATS) are produced by Dre and not YOU! You took the broom from Dre and shoved it up your own ass with no fucking vaseline nigga! G-G-G-G-G-G-G-UNOT!!!
