50 Cent has been in the rap game for enough years to know that magazine/newspaper reporters can take a person's statement and turn it into something different.
Alicia said gangsta rap. 50 falls under the gangsta rap category. therefore alicia keys is talking shit about 50, which means 50 is the right guy to be speaking on it. Listen to what 50's saying. "It's the harsh realities thats in the music, that comes from the environment that we come from, we can't shake that." thats the truth.
MAN 50 Cent is as sharp as a tac!! His only weakness I feel is his pride. He seems like someone who refuses to lose, and you could use that to hold it against him.
i agree with 50 cent and i love Alicia keys music. She been around long enough to know that the media will twist your comments to get the best review or attention from the public, she shouldnt have said it and if that was how she felt, she shouldnt have tried to take it back.
when she said that she was using that as a example, u have to hear what she really said in its full version unedited to understand this. its on youtube look it up, i was madd at alicia to, but now i see what she was trying to say.
I actually agree with 50 for once. If she did in fact say that then she is closed minded and just looking at "gangster rap" from one point of view. Most rappers talk about the things that they do in their songs becuase it comes from experience. If the lyrics is what she dislikes then she should just say that she doesn't support music that is violent, but don't go and say that "Gangster rap" is the cause for black on black violence. Don't get me wrong cause I LOVE A.Keys -*Mouse♥
@Idrastikk I belive that rappers from the 80's and early and mid 90's rapped about important issues, so I felt that they were better. I agree that you can't blame them, but violence are stirred up from gangster rap and the whole hip hop community that influences it.
i don't remember 50 running around begging people to listen to him talk about Alicia Keys, people keep asking him about this girl, he ain't starting it. And if Alicia wasn't the topic, all they'd be asking what makes this album diff. from the rest, and the overused common response would be : "it's more mature"
Im not mad at Keys for that comment. But everytime theres some Hip Hop related issue, they got to 50 like he's the Dhali Lama of rap. He says rappers speak about the realities of the streets but its not like that. They promote violence, guns, sex and drugs. Im sick of hearing that excuse. "We're just rapping about the struggles of living in the ghetto."
when she said that, she meant that the media and government coined the term and tried to make reality rap look threatning. back then they called it reality rap. U have to realize that the term gangster rap wasnt always the cool thing to use, it was directed at the so called gangster rappers as a insult. but its not eazy to insult real thugs and anybody in the buisness of hiphop for that matter. we saw it as a complement. but now adays everbody wanna be a "gangsta" and its not cool.
@ThePianoguy89 Keys is wrong. - She choose to believe that gangster rap is contributing to blk on blk crime. - blk on blk crime was going on long before gangster rap. I mean violence isn't only in rap. Wes Craven (for example) continues to make movies about a killer wearing a mask and having a plot to get away with mass murder. - Now when the next serial killer is being hunted, is anyone going to start saying "Wes Craven" is the cause of this? No. So why blame 50 for murder rates?
@AllanKingdom Alicia Keys is not wrong and she didn't single out 50 cent for anything. He was stupid enough to jump to conclusions. She said that the term "gangsta rap" was a ploy by the government to keep it from being anything positive or to have a positive black leader. She was not talking about gangsta rap in general, but it was exploited by the media that just erradicated self-destruction within the culture. I know that gangsta isn't the only thing that influences violence.
whether you like it or not. pac glorified his thugness. i mean you can talk about struggle without putting forth that image. i saw the interviews but thats not the message i get in his videos. he's saying on interviews and in songs two different things. on one hand it's okay to be thuggin it(the message i get)in his songs on the other "im just showing the struggle" or rapping from my perspective.. which is something all gangsta rappers say. but i guess we can agree to dissagree. :)
50 and pac are in that same category. and we can talk about experiences because if u wanted to do that then 50 is more gangsta than pac. pac was a effin HYPE MAN for digital underground. there were pics of him doing ballet. yet pac found a genre where he can make money. "thug rap". now what genre is 50 in? thug rap. i can bet you they share the same fan base. which is why i said they are about the same. if your a pac fan. thats fantastic. your entitled to your opinion. :)
but 50 doesent rap about being in the "HOOD" anymore he always says hes a "southside nigga" and he does rap about how he will get you killed but i dont think he raps about being in the hood anymore
50 cents music is categorized into the 'gangsta rap' genre.. So of course thats basically dissing 50 cent, Tu Pac, Biggie, and everyone else who did or does that. It may not be personally, but thats talking about what someone does. Thats like someone saying, "Fuck R&B". Someone like Neyo or Alicia would get pissed.. What Alicia said was ignorant.. And you should all know that.
Oh sory didn't realize it was dis old.. its just dat for ppl like me music means a lot, (hiphop) it influenced my life alot and still does, and for ppl like me who really get sucked into music, 50 cent stylers can really mess with ppls personal lives. I see ppl dat listen to his music droppin out of skool and becomming criminals cos of dat, sad thing is dat they hav al those opportunities with their potential.. So dats where i'm comin from:p anyway pz and sorry for bein rude:D
First of all that type of rap music was never "labeled" as gangsta rap til white media put that label on it...it was just people talking about where they were from. After they put the label on it, rappers ran with it without thinking of how it could be used against them in the court system. Now when you rap like that, and something goes wrong in your life and you have to go to court for it they used it on the jury to help get a conviction on whatever they are charging you with
The question is what is gansta rap? I never understood and im an MC I dont think gangsta rap exist rap is rap. Lots of so called gangsta rappers are not even gang members and to be labeled a gangsta you should be in a gang. I dont know what to say about Alicia keys her statement is politically cute but the big picture is far more grim. Non gangsta rap is also a problem ignorace is the only thing that gets airplay even if its not gansta wackness is still harmful to intelligent people.
gangsta party, hit em up. now can you tell me those weren't get money or blast niggaz related? man there is proof to validate my opinions alll over the net. it's not like im just pulling this stuff out of my arse. it's okay to be a 2pac fan im not hating. "to each his own" but just realize they they are trying to reach the same crowd and they are basically in the same category.
@MrMrSouthphilly Honestly if their wasn't rap theyd probably be way more focused on gangs and territory. Imagine these rappers somehow getting shut down and now they have mils what are they gonna do to keep that money flowing?
did AK ever said "50 cent" in that interview? cuz if she didnt I dont undersatnd why he's making all of this! unless he got some project coming out and wants some publicity.
yeah he wrote some really uplifting songs. for example hit em up, open fire, fake ass bitches.. yes those are very uplifting. he's just another gangster rapper. i see him the same as 50. just my opinion.
If 2pac was alive, man the rap/hip hop would be so different. aleast we could hear some uplighting rap in a postive sense. songs like dear momma. brenda got a baby. keep your head up. Rap has just went in the drain after he died.
come on, 50 made all his money from sponsores, his last good song was from "get rich or die tryin", since then he concided to make a biff with literrally everyone who mean something in rap and hip-hop, I mean t.i, alicia, nas....
yes he did reach folks and i never said anyone's opinion didn't matter which is why i stated my opinion and he wanted to disagree with it. i could conduct a poll to random folks with the question being. what image did pac try to put across to the masses? they would tell you. GANGSTA. just one fact to validate my argument. watch?v=zqnM-IyYYDs watch that and tell me im wrong. lol
Hot 97 DJs are too damn old to be doing all the "yeah son!" bullshit they do. You're 45 years old and interviewing characters like 50 Cent? Really? This is why as much as I can't stand Wendy Williams, I got to give her props on the TV show. As she got older, she realized her career needed to grow, where Angie, Flex and Fatman Scoop still haven't despite being in the same age bracket.
50 Cent hasn't lived in the "HOOD" in almost ten years. Shouldn't his lyrics have EVOLVED into "rappin" about his comfortable life in the suburbs? Or better yet how this "Gangsta Rappa" ends up on CNBC talking about his book and marketing? Just asking questions HOT97...I know how people get shot and/or stabbed outside of your studio. :I
@mahmoudabdallah100 Whoever she is married to has nothing to do with how gangsta rap is negatively portrayed in the media. She does not reflect in her music, that's THEIR music.
AKeys and her comments aside, he says she's criticising his demographic, ie gangsta rap, but I really don't think he qualifies as gangsta rap...?? I'm not really a 50cent fan but skimming topics of his songs that I can recall off the top of my head, he might have once been a gangsta (??) but his genre is not gangsta rap. If that were the case, I'd imagine his lyric would be more like "Have a baby by me baby and be on welfare" or "Have a baby by me baby amidst gang warfare" LOL sorry
@ThePianoguy89 dont talk about rap as if you now any shit about it. rap is a way for people who cant be heard to express the're way of living and life. period
ok read these words carefully. if im saying im not a gangsta BUT im screaming in my music video's GANGSTA PARTY. what does that tell you. and don't bring krs one into this argument because we well know that krs one didn't make ONE SONG glorifying being gangsta. if there is find one please. oh and before you bring up criminal minded i have the cd. nothing PROMOTING gangsta on that album. oh and when you think krs one we know he's synonymous with conscious hip hop.
lol dude i know it's comical but you gotta do the research. look at pacs past as opposed to 50's. i don't even think 50 is all that gangsta with his singing on every track but thats just the image him and pac were trying to put across and THAT is what sold most of their records. their image and it was cool to buy a 50 or pac cd. i'll give u this. pac did make a few good songs but his image is still that of thug rap as is 50's.
umm i do not know what planet you are on? search angie martinez on google. you will clearly see she is an American rapper. she retired in 2000 or something like that. check your facts before you say anything.
no one cares what this dude says, Jay z, Alicia, Beyonce, T.i, Wayne and many more don't even respond to this dude. He killed his on career. Maybe if he talk about his music instead of other people, maybe, just maybe he would sell a record. He's the hip hop Us weekly.
I just realized that 50 cent is a pure fool. At the end of the day, anyone that shines a light on the truth about gangsta rap is effecting his income. Whether it's right or wrong. This trash is all he knows and it's alll he is capable of doing. Take your money and reinvest it into the black community. Stop dumbing down your own people!!
OHHHH MY GOOOOOOSH. lol ok so he never classified himself as gangster yet he suuuure did put himself out there like he was and there are about a million people who share my opinion. if you don't think he was gangsta. ok thats your opinion. but i do have facts to validate the fact that he did try to put that image across that he was gangsta.
I guess some of yall who watch this are deaf are have a learning disability. When did he actually talked bad about Alicia and other black women, lol. Dude just said he was dissappointed in the statements in the mag, IF she made them. Which is understandable.
Jae you should nt listen to so much radio bro. Artist today are going "Professional" you dont go to job interviews asnwering questions like a gansta do you? Well 50 Cent trying sell as many records as Garth Brooks has to take a different "Comercial" approach. You feel me?
He speaks well but he dont have to comment on everything, damn sometimes he just need to shutup and work on his career if he still wants one. he got enough money to go away so please do...
@oldirtybastard213 if you listened then you'd see that there is no beef! he just said so. you are either 50 hyaters or alicia fanatics when you can't even listen to the damned interview
and this is my last comment to you because it's obvious you are a live and die hard pac fan. thats ok you like what you like but just understand when the camera was on he was trying to be gangsta. you can be in denial all you want but there are more than enough who do agree with me.
@itta320 Well I like rap artists that expresses real life issues. I like rap doesn't promote drugs and violence, but expresses as an issue in Urban America.
ahaha, 50 is just sour cuz alicia keys turned him down a while back, alicia was quoted saying that guys are too shy to confront her, so 50 did, and she said hell no (to his gorilla lookin' ass) when he hears alicia's bit about gangsta rap, he takes it personally, even tho she didnt direct it at any contemporary artist, cuz its like her twisting the dagger on the rejection now, hes changing it up and wants a conversation with her... too funny! be a man, and stick to what you said!
wow how can u defend alicia i say 50 is rite & im surpized dat other rappers aint talkin .... many radios disagreed wit her.... she sounded like a white girl
@boahplayer , Grow up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alicia didn't steal Swizz from his wife, the marriage was pointless and over! A woman can not make a man love her, if he does not love her like that anymore. How is she a hypocrite? You sound really silly... when a relationship is over, it's ovcer point blank! Whether you got a marriage certificate or not...... a woman can not take a man that does not want to be taken... Grow up!!
i like 50 but he's acting like the boss of rap!! he wants to find out what she meant?? it was at no1 in particulat so why tje fuck does he wanna know??
well thats the only spot for him i mean you know the diff. when you think conscious hip hop you think common, mos def, talib, etc etc. when you think gangsta you think nwa, easy e, pac. despite the fact that he does have a few songs that aren't gangsta tracks he does have some that are. your right though they are slightly different. because 50 just plain garbage in my opinion.
50 Cent has been in the rap game for enough years to know that magazine/newspaper reporters can take a person's statement and turn it into something different.
Alicia said gangsta rap. 50 falls under the gangsta rap category. therefore alicia keys is talking shit about 50, which means 50 is the right guy to be speaking on it.
Listen to what 50's saying. "It's the harsh realities thats in the music, that comes from the environment that we come from, we can't shake that." thats the truth.
big up to 50
He said it in another interview.
MAN 50 Cent is as sharp as a tac!! His only weakness I feel is his pride. He seems like someone who refuses to lose, and you could use that to hold it against him.
Sensitive for no reason.He knows full well what Alicia meant.
lmfao at benev06 ! Imma have to use that expression one day !
i agree with 50 cent and i love Alicia keys music. She been around long enough to know that the media will twist your comments to get the best review or attention from the public, she shouldnt have said it and if that was how she felt, she shouldnt have tried to take it back.
FINALLY SOMETHING WE CAN BOTH AGREE ON(THIS DEBATE IS POINTLESS). so we can just agree to disagree.
By the way, all comments by Nanico3 is me, my brother was signed in, and i didnt realise it until just now.
50 cents is a real nigga, with real views .
when she said that she was using that as a example, u have to hear what she really said in its full version unedited to understand this. its on youtube look it up, i was madd at alicia to, but now i see what she was trying to say.
dont forget about B.I.G but u damn right tupac is a legend
I actually agree with 50 for once.
If she did in fact say that then she is closed minded and just looking at "gangster rap" from one point of view. Most rappers talk about the things that they do in their songs becuase it comes from experience. If the lyrics is what she dislikes then she should just say that she doesn't support music that is violent, but don't go and say that "Gangster rap" is the cause for black on black violence.

He is! I personally dont see him living past 2009!
LOL, listen up right here,
there dont needa be more comments after this.
50CENT is THE MAN. < fullstop
i don't remember 50 running around begging people to listen to him talk about Alicia Keys, people keep asking him about this girl, he ain't starting it. And if Alicia wasn't the topic, all they'd be asking what makes this album diff. from the rest, and the overused common response would be : "it's more mature"
he does have a point and I see what he's comming from... iono I still love alicia keys music tho
Im not mad at Keys for that comment. But everytime theres some Hip Hop related issue, they got to 50 like he's the Dhali Lama of rap. He says rappers speak about the realities of the streets but its not like that. They promote violence, guns, sex and drugs. Im sick of hearing that excuse.

Exactly.
couldn't have said it better myself
G-UNIT!!
Im sorry but 50 wins over this one. Gansta rap is like ROOTS nobody never wana know the harsh realities!
from which song is that beat at the intro???
@ThePianoguy89 Keys is wrong. - She choose to believe that gangster rap is contributing to blk on blk crime. - blk on blk crime was going on long before gangster rap. I mean violence isn't only in rap. Wes Craven (for example) continues to make movies about a killer wearing a mask and having a plot to get away with mass murder. - Now when the next serial killer is being hunted, is anyone going to start saying "Wes Craven" is the cause of this? No. So why blame 50 for murder rates?
@ladyliberty19 ,thank you !finally someone who understand what she really was talking about !
@enclosedfury Oops!! am sorry Angie stones :S !! that was a critical mistake ..thanx 4 the correction dude!! :) ...
Alicia Key's the truth.
she is not a hater. angie is a rapper.. obviously shes offended
IT WASNT. and the words were mixed up. she never insulted rappers.
check out: Madame Michelle, song MP3
50 cent uses the words "harsh realities" and "actually" in one too many interviews. he's a smart dude, but he sometimes sounds like a broken puppet.
@AllanKingdom Alicia Keys is not wrong and she didn't single out 50 cent for anything. He was stupid enough to jump to conclusions. She said that the term "gangsta rap" was a ploy by the government to keep it from being anything positive or to have a positive black leader. She was not talking about gangsta rap in general, but it was exploited by the media that just erradicated self-destruction within the culture. I know that gangsta isn't the only thing that influences violence.
Respect each others opinion...thats all i say;)
whether you like it or not. pac glorified his thugness. i mean you can talk about struggle without putting forth that image. i saw the interviews but thats not the message i get in his videos. he's saying on interviews and in songs two different things. on one hand it's okay to be thuggin it(the message i get)in his songs on the other "im just showing the struggle" or rapping from my perspective.. which is something all gangsta rappers say. but i guess we can agree to dissagree. :)

And you should all know that.
Oh sory didn't realize it was dis old..
its just dat for ppl like me music means a lot, (hiphop) it influenced my life alot and still does, and for ppl like me who really get sucked into music, 50 cent stylers can really mess with ppls personal lives. I see ppl dat listen to his music droppin out of skool and becomming criminals cos of dat, sad thing is dat they hav al those opportunities with their potential.. So dats where i'm comin from:p
anyway pz and sorry for bein rude:D
he no beefing he is stating how he feel ..... chill out
harsh realities lol how is glorifying violence talking about the harsh realities
It's true though. Hip Hop messes up the black community.
(Alicia please don't play with the animal. *grrr)
she would still not want it lol, shes above him
First of all that type of rap music was never "labeled" as gangsta rap til white media put that label on it...it was just people talking about where they were from.

Alicia already clarified this issue so many times yall got to move on
The question is what is gansta rap? I never understood and im an MC I dont think gangsta rap exist rap is rap. Lots of so called gangsta rappers are not even gang members and to be labeled a gangsta you should be in a gang. I dont know what to say about Alicia keys her statement is politically cute but the big picture is far more grim. Non gangsta rap is also a problem ignorace is the only thing that gets airplay even if its not gansta wackness is still harmful to intelligent people.
@boahplayer she didn't steal swizz beats, he willingly cheated on his wife wit alicia keyes.....alicia didn't force him to cheat lol
i really dont think she understands so i wouldnt take it personal
@theHipHopHead lmaooo
gangsta party, hit em up. now can you tell me those weren't get money or blast niggaz related? man there is proof to validate my opinions alll over the net. it's not like im just pulling this stuff out of my arse. it's okay to be a 2pac fan im not hating. "to each his own" but just realize they they are trying to reach the same crowd and they are basically in the same category.
@MrMrSouthphilly Honestly if their wasn't rap theyd probably be way more focused on gangs and territory. Imagine these rappers somehow getting shut down and now they have mils what are they gonna do to keep that money flowing?

come on, 50 made all his money from sponsores, his last good song was from "get rich or die tryin", since then he concided to make a biff with literrally everyone who mean something in rap and hip-hop, I mean t.i, alicia, nas....
I stopped her Sarah Jones from killing our Kelly around the time I called and said the house was getting broken into
50 puts his money where he mouth damn
yes he did reach folks and i never said anyone's opinion didn't matter which is why i stated my opinion and he wanted to disagree with it. i could conduct a poll to random folks with the question being. what image did pac try to put across to the masses? they would tell you.

alicia keys the best. everyone who say she is a lamo u people don't know what a real singer is.
And Angie on the low is a hata too!!!
@XxCoLtEn20xX Shut up about 50? Why? I was only talking about how he overacted about something so small.
umm i do not know what planet you are on? search angie martinez on google. you will clearly see she is an American rapper. she retired in 2000 or something like that. check your facts before you say anything.
50's a "good" rapper but man, he has problems with every damn body from Keith Sweat and Alicia Keys to Samuel L. Jackson and Jay-Z
no one cares what this dude says, Jay z, Alicia, Beyonce, T.i, Wayne and many more don't even respond to this dude. He killed his on career. Maybe if he talk about his music instead of other people, maybe, just maybe he would sell a record. He's the hip hop Us weekly.
@ThePianoguy89 sometimes drugs and violence are real issues man, its just how life is, its not all pretty all the time.
u 19 so we"ll let ya comment slide
I just realized that 50 cent is a pure fool. At the end of the day, anyone that shines a light on the truth about gangsta rap is effecting his income. Whether it's right or wrong.

das why he died young! where is the pride there?
@ThePianoguy89 I agree about the Run DMC thing but shut up about 50.
@itta320 Well I like rap artists that expresses real life issues. I like rap doesn't promote drugs and violence, but expresses as an issue in Urban America.
ahaha, 50 is just sour
cuz alicia keys turned him down
a while back, alicia was quoted saying that guys are too shy to confront her, so 50 did, and she said hell no (to his gorilla lookin' ass)
when he hears alicia's bit about gangsta rap, he takes it personally, even tho she didnt direct it at any contemporary artist, cuz its like her twisting the dagger on the rejection
now, hes changing it up and wants a conversation with her... too funny! be a man, and stick to what you said!
wow how can u defend alicia i say 50 is rite & im surpized dat other rappers aint talkin .... many radios disagreed wit her.... she sounded like a white girl
@boahplayer , Grow up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alicia didn't steal Swizz from his wife, the marriage was pointless and over! A woman can not make a man love her, if he does not love her like that anymore. How is she a hypocrite? You sound really silly... when a relationship is over, it's ovcer point blank! Whether you got a marriage certificate or not...... a woman can not take a man that does not want to be taken... Grow up!!
watevery 50 cents u should dided a all time go u not a ganster no way if i was there i would kick his aas for ak
i like 50 but he's acting like the boss of rap!! he wants to find out what she meant?? it was at no1 in particulat so why tje fuck does he wanna know??
lmao
i really dont think she understands so i wouldnt take it personal youtube/blackflagmovement61
Ever since I did with Tupac Ja Rule Brandy may I go on everybody forgot but me
well thats the only spot for him i mean you know the diff. when you think conscious hip hop you think common, mos def, talib, etc etc. when you think gangsta you think nwa, easy e, pac. despite the fact that he does have a few songs that aren't gangsta tracks he does have some that are. your right though they are slightly different. because 50 just plain garbage in my opinion.
angie martinez is hot
@twistedways40831 'Halfbreed'? Yeah, you are so much better than her.
