These were quotes from her Blender magazine interview:
“‘Gangsta rap’ was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. 'Gangsta rap’ didn’t exist.”
50 Cent's response to this:
"I don’t like Alicia Keys no more. If she thinks what they consider gangsta music is [made] to bring black people down then I think my sh*t falls into that category. I don’t like people who don’t like me. I don’t like her then because that’s what provides the life for me. I think if you ask Ice Cube the same shit, he’ll tell you, “F*ck Alicia Keys” for even saying that. Because the success he’s had as an actor and a businessman, there was no opportunity for that sh*t without N.W.A."
Do you think what she said is even partially true, even if you take it more lightly.. Like, gangsta rap helps attribute to black opression and helps people in the 'ghetto' stay trapped in a negative lifestyle, culture and mindset, due to not-so-positive lyrics in rap that people can take way too seriously?
