Comment: My thoughts exactly Southernbelle! Besides that Fiddy has said some pretty stupid things in the past himself. He's also wrong about O and rap - she wants what we all want - take the trash outta rap. Damn Fiddy!

Comment: Alicia shouldn't have apologized in the first place. She was right on point with her comments, and the reality is that the "gangsta rappers" aren't talkin'about anything relevent anyway. Since 1988, when NWA came out with "F%ck the Police" and "Gangsta, Gangsta" which helped ignite the gangsta rap movement in the hip hop world, it's been all down hill every since. Twenty years of hearing these so-called gangstas talk about chains hangin' low, ridin' on 20's, b%tches and hoe's, sellin' dope, murder,gang activity, prison/jail, and the glamerous life of livin' in the "hood" IS ENOUGH!! DAMN!! It's time to turn the chapter on this scurge. How do a people come up mentally and spiritually when the diet they're ingesting consists of the foolishness 50 Cent and his ilk servin' up?? GANGSTA RAP IS BULLSHYT!! Roo!!

Comment: First of all, I would've loved to give the people/person who shot this monkey 9 times shooting lessons so they wouldn't have missed. Secondly, what if he was a fake-azz like Akon? What if those so-called bullet wounds were really a really bad case of the chicken pox and he was brought up in the burbs? LOL...Third, I TOTALLY agree w/Oprah on this one. F*ck all these so-called gangstas w/their triflin' misogynistic lyrics. I'm tired of all of it and have been since I mistakenly bought "The Chronic" upon someone's recommendation and got called a b*tch 30 seconds into the tape (Yeah, tape. It was that long ago - 1992). I gave that tape away as quickly as I could. As for Alicia Keys, well, I still think her history is wrong and her theory is wrong but that doesn't mean I don't like her. One funky comment shouldn't make a person get kicked to the curb unless it's egregious like Michael Richards or Imus both of which I never liked anyway...

Comment: What did she say that was wrong? And why in God's name would a TRUE real life thug 4 life nucka like 50 give a rats azz about what a backpacker like Alicia Keys thinks?!! This is really odd. 50 cares what Alicia thinks? (I won't even address the fact that he didn't source the source), Nevermind that. But just the fact that he even has a reaction about a piano player's words! What? Strange days.

Comment: >musb- I'd take a "f--- you" from 50 any day. I consider it a compliment that I'm his polar opposite. I don't care how much money that ig'nant monkey makes. He's still a modern day minstrel show to me. I would guess that at least 50% of 50's listeners are "I want to be a street thug" white boys from the 'burbs. That's why he makes so much money. It's the crossover appeal. So how much street cred does that give him that his records are being bought by Brad in Connecticutt? Step-in-fetch-it made a lot of money, too.

Comment: OshunYes. Indeed. But to quote Pooh Man on Friday: "Aw that's different." But seriously, it is funny and strange. He seems.... genuinely offended (?) that someone (I presume) he has respected and followed for so many years would suddenly become an outspoken critic of the form of "art" known as gangsta rap!! I'm speaking on his behalf of course.

Comment: Ayo Technology Five 0 had help from Justin Timberlake the ex-boybander that G-unit & M hate. This dude is still trying to be relevant. Soon he won't make music at all, he will just drive around NY like Britney does in CA. LOL At least he would get more press than he's getting on his music. Why is he upset, he doesn't do gangsta rap.

Comment: His statement that he does not like people who don't like him was not a very bright comment. So his profession defines who he is totally? Just because I work as a Systems Administrator, that does not define who I am as a person. People may not like the profession of gangsta rap, but it doesn't mean they don't like the people in it, once they get to know them personally. He's an idiot, and not really a gangsta rapper IMO. Not if you are talking about loving a woman, or hanging out in a club. And cussing on a record does not make you a gangsta either.

Comment: I co-sign with Queeniebunz about 50. JMHO, but the only thing he ever did right ART-WISE, as far as I'm concerned, was "21 Questions." He needs to keep his mouth CLOSED, but then again, so does Alicia Keys, except to sing.

Comment: 50 is the Al Sharpton of rap, I guess. Anytime anything happens in/to rap music, reporters flock to 50, just dying for a sound bite. Shouldn't Alicia's comments about her own words be enough? Why need 50's opinion? And just so you all know, if I ever get famous, I will never take anything back because I will think about and mean what I say the FIRST time.

Comment: PlanetRock, they weren't? Your News flash is wrong like a mug. School me on what a hit is then. I could have sworn both of those singles reached the top five (Ayo Was #1 at a time) in the singles charts and it was up for a few awards. That's not a hit? Let's get real now. It's cool you don't like 50 but to say those singles weren't hits are absurd.

Comment: Queenie, way to go. You have a problem w/black people calling each other nyggers...think it's destestable to call black woman bytches. But you have NO problem calling black men monkey's. I don't think that's listed in the book of "acceptable terms when referring to black men." One would think that just as you were horrified "being called a bytch" by Dr. Dre, that you wouldn't conjure up some of the most stereotypical images to refer to black men. But, I understand the hypocrisy. Despite the silly "defending" Alicia's stupidity, what she said was, "Gangsta rap was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other." Really? A gov't conspiracy? Ahh, not suprising that her defenders are defending something that they would blast anyone else for saying. Gov't created gansta rap? Yeah keep defending that stupid shyt cuz u love Alicia's dumb azz. Bytch please! Al, you know these damn folk in here just talk out the side of their necks. They've been rooting for his demise for how many years now? Latoya luckett is a has-been. Curtis? Oh ok.

Comment: Dport, at least you can be factually correct in defending what this bytch said. Per NYTimes reporting on Blender Mag interview, "The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter tells Blender magazine: "‘Gangsta rap’ was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. ‘Gangsta rap’ didn’t exist." She went on to say, "Keys, 27, said she’s read several Black Panther autobiographies and wears a gold AK-47 pendant around her neck "to symbolize strength, power and killing ’em dead," according to an interview in the magazine’s May issue, on newsstands Tuesday.
Another of her theories: That the bicoastal feud between slain rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. was fueled "by the government and the media, to stop another great black leader from existing." http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music/2008/04 /12/2008-04-12_alicia_keys_shares_her_conspiracy_theor i.html

Comment: I personally don't like "gansta rap" because it portrays black women is such a negative manner and the rappers are usually talking aobut the same ole bullshi*.. i.e. cars, women and shooting someone because they diss them... really boring %*$! if you ask me! What happened to music glorifying our women and praising black families!
I personally think 50 cents needs to sit his arse down and learn how to do something more productive with the millions of dollars he has accumalated this last few years! So many other things in the world he could be focusing his energy on besides trying to create drama!

Comment: I ain't even tryna lie... I used to love me some west coast "gangsta" rap when I was in my early 20s. Ppl used to ask how I, a woman, could love it so much when they constantly refer to women as b's and ho's. My reply was I know they ain't talkin' about me cos I ain't a b or a ho, so.... They weren't FORCING those 1/2 nekkid chicks in the videos to shake their %*$ets for the camera. Fact of the matter is there ARE b's and ho's out there. If I'm walkin' down the street and someone called me baby, sweetheart, etc. and got ignored, it'd usually be followed by b or ho. That too would be ignored. Anywho, 50s doin' his thang with his Vitamin Water and Alicia's doin' hers. However it's 50 who gave Alicia honorable mention. If I were Alicia, if anything I might thank 50 for keepin' my name in the pages n' keep it movin.

Comment: Al, I learned via EUR the other week that it's ok to refer to black women as bytches. So yeah she is a bytch and what she said was straight stupid and people need to stop trying to act like 50 is the problem. NO! That bytch made the original comments and people can criticize that just as they are criticizing what 50 said. B'lee dat!

For 50, I could care less, but I do find it amusing that 50 Cent, whose reign on the charts is clearly over - that is fact you know - is criticising Alicia Keys, who is not only at the top of her game, but is more popular than ever.

I'll tell you why...b/c she DOESN'T want what we want!! She's just like ole Coz when it comes to communicating with the youth...they feel THEY are above youth & don't EVER try to understand the youth!!

Comment: PlanetRock did you just type "um". LMFAO! You're wrong dude. Those songs were hits. No denying that. You said research and I did just that. If a song is up for an award is not considered a hit? Put down the ripple old timer. You're delusional. I'm not even discussing Alicia (She's hot). I'm discussing on what a hit is and you can't define that for me. YOU DO YOUR RESEARCH PLAYBOY! When you said "You could care less" that actually means you could care. The correct statement is "I couldn't care more". Learned that english class. Take notes from a young stallion. Youz a old Clydesdale. You're still cool in my book on your name alone. You're just wrong in this case. I can admit when I'm wrong but I'm not. No disrespect.

Comment: I am still waiting for your RESEARCH TesticAl. Ripple? Gee, do you really know how you even sound to people. Now to finally close your ignorant behind, that "Ayo Technology" song did NOT hit # 1 as you listed and "I Get Money" barely made it to # 40 on the Billboard, yes Billboard Hot 100. Prove me wrong, Mr. Know-it-all. I guess your name says it all TesticAl. ...and because a song was nominated for an award makes it a hit? Wow, again NO RESEARCH. Lesson # 1, engage your brain, then type. Again, RESEARCH bruh. Some people just don't get it.

Comment: TesticAl: The correct statement is "couldn't care more"? No, that was not my intention. By the way, there can be a fine line distinction between "couldn't care less" or "could care more." Any "expert" in grammar knows that this continues to be a debate. In most cases, you will have to examine the phrase within the context of the writing. By the way, you can cool it with the name calling: it's immature...extremely immature bruh.

Comment: PlanetRock, I'm late as hell responding. Hopefully you check this. Go to the billboard.com and go to the "certifications" section and check the singles part. There you will see that "Ayo Technology" went gold. The single alone went gold. That qualifies as a hit. I'm talking about the SINGLE ONLY. There's my research. Where's your proof/research showing me what a hit is. You still haven't went that route. TELL ME WHAT A HIT RECORD IS! Cool it with the name calling? NO! I don't wanna. LOL! Immature, you of all people should how I get down and know I don't give a fuckk about maturity on this board. You still cool.

Comment: Planet Rock, since you want to call me a Mr.Know It All, check the billboard rap charts every week that Ayo Techonology was on the charts and I Get Money. THE RAP CHARTS! It was on the charts for a gang of weeks. CHECK THE RAP CHARTS WEEK BY WEEK! I bet you didn't check that. You checked the top 40 or another chart. You do know they have different categories don't you? Yes for a song to get nominated it has to be a hit. Name one song that has been nominated FOR AN AWARD that wasn't a hit. You can't. Crank that Soulja Boy is trash, but it will be up for awards. Tell me that song isn't a hit. Stay in ya place since you're trying to put me in mine. Yes my name says it all TESTICAL. Life begins there. Some people don't get it? Damn right you're talking about yourself.

Comment: To 50's defense, he did come back on a recent radio interview and say he does like Alicia's music, and would even have his lawyers file a defamation suit on Alica's behalf if she infact didn't say exactly what the magazine said she did. Of course he said he would reach out to her first and have a sit down with her. If you want to hear it, go to mediatakeout.com.
