Alicia's comments were not geared at 50, jus @ today's society. When u look around in black communities today, all u see is young black kids wantin 2 b gangsters & mimicin what they see 50 & other rap artist do. There are exceptions where you see kids who want to 2 the right thing & make somtehing out of themselves instead of wanting to get shot, shoot somebody or sell drugs. The gangsta life is glamorized in every way, shape & form to the point to where the media expects all black people to act like that. I'm not knockin the way you grow up, because I have to grow up like myself, but i think that once you get older that its time for a change. 50's comments were way out of line. He acted as if Alicia was targeting him. He mentioned Ice Cube in his article, but yet, Ice Cube didn't comment. Alicia Keys is a positive artist, who only does positive things. She graduated from High School @ an early age, got accepted into Columbia University, has sold millions of albums & won grammys, & still remains level headed. So i really don't agree with the comment about her being primadonna. That's not her style. She had a rough upbringin too, maybe not like 50's, but it was still rough & she managed to come out of all of that negativity & turn herself into a positive person. So 50 needs to get a clue!!! And come out with another hit album, because his last 2 were straight garbage, especially the "Curtis" album.
