Kreayshawn: ‘People Want To Push Me Down Because I’m White’

Published: Friday 23rd Sep 2011 by David

Undoubtedly at the forefront of many a polarized opinion, ‘Left Eye‘ Rapper Kreayshawn has recently spoken out on why  she believes so many are against both she and her creative cause.

Sure to strike up many an uncomfortable debate, her comments come just days after she sat down with That Grape Juice to discuss this very issue.

Find out what she had to say  below…

Speaking to NBC’s Carson Daily, she confessed:

There’s a lot of people who want to push you down, one for being a female and one for being white.

In Oakland, that’s how I grew up. It’s so multicultural, you don’t really see color. Hip-hop was created for everybody to come together. Hip-hop is a culture for all races.

Do you feel race is at the center of Kreayshawn’s criticism?

Your thoughts?

    Please push you down because you are a white girl who use the word N*gga

  2. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) September 23, 2011

    People want to push you down because you’re untalented

    If they were bashing you for being a female, then how come Kim/Left Eye/Eve/Missy slayed some dudes with their sales and why is Nicki slaying you??And if you were slammed just because you were white, then why is Eminem considered one of the 5 best rappers of all time??

    HUSH!

    It’s NOT because you are white!

    It’s because When Ke$ha,who is primarily a singer and Trey Songz ,who is a “singer” that can’t rap at all, has more rapping talent than you,THEN that would be a problem……

    can this b**** quit whinning. no one pushing her down for her race or gender. it’s her horrible music. thanks to her being a white feamle rapper (which is the first in mainstream hip hop) she’s getting attention in the first place. she’s on Carson Daily or getting nominated for a VMA but no hit songs or album?

  5. Sight1 September 23, 2011

    people want to push you down because you are a desrespectful b-itch,i am white and i don’t like your disrespectful ways.

    well hip hop was a subculture for blacks and an expression for their pain at the time. it later became commercial and companies are using it to sell products, and rappers, some, are conforming to the new trend of what rap is and are not being themselves rather being commercialized rappers. anyways, it is not because she is a female or white, it is bc she sucks. she has no flow and lacks talent as a rapper. she sounds like a white suburban rapper who is making a class project and is trying to rap and thinks that getting cornrows is a joke etc etc. not saying she thinks corn rows are a joke, but she sounds like a white kid who just found rap 2 yrs ago, started rapping jus for a class project n thinks rap is the “yo yo yo” n gang signs. Also just had to say this, having white fans doesn’t make u a sell out, u going out your way to get white fans makes u a sell out. If u change who u r just to make money is being a sell out and a fake and being a fake rapper and conforming for the market, not having the market come to u.,
    anyways, check out my channel on youtube: amberussell

    As has already been said, people want to push you down because you SUCK, not because you’re white! I’m sick and tired of this chick using the race card and playing victim. B****, please. I’m pretty sure that if she wasn’t white, Columbia would not have offered her a 1 million dollar contract. Her race only adds to the novelty factor, and that’s really only where the race-based criticism comes from.

  8. Bam Bam September 23, 2011

    Don’t pull that ish homey Its cuz your music is garbage…..

  9. Darren September 23, 2011

    people want to push you down because you wear all that hideous s***.

  10. FlopJuice September 23, 2011

    People push you down because

    – your “music”
    – your clothes
    – your attitude

    ARE ALL FROM GARBAGE.

  11. Percy September 23, 2011

    People are not pushing you down because your white. They’re pushing you down because your music is garbage. I love Eminem, Dolly Parton, KISS, The Beatles, and many, many more. It’s not about your race. It’s about the music!

  12. `iLoveYou` September 23, 2011

    I could care less about her race. A talented rapper is a talented rapper. The heffa sucks donkey balls. And on top of that, still gets a million dollar deal while women that can beat her in a freestyle sleeping are being slept on. It’s funny she brings up race, because that within itself is one of the few reason people are giving her the time of day. If a black girl came into the industry rapping like her, she would’ve been faded into an oblivion…

  13. Bey Fan… September 23, 2011

    f*** outta here

  14. Galuda September 23, 2011

    Im sorry sweety but you mostly likely got signed because you’re white – clearly it wasn’t because you’re talented on the mic…
    *yawn*

  15. SHESDUMB; MY FAVES HAVE OSCAR’S AND EMMY’S, WHAT ABOUT YOURS? September 23, 2011

    ALL OF THIS RIGHT HERE! 🙂

  21. TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER 1 FAN September 23, 2011

    even with the advantage with her being white, I cant see her lasting more then 2 albums.

  22. La September 23, 2011

    I Can’t with this B**** right here….no honey people are not feeling you or are pushing you down as you eloquently said because…wait for it….YOU SUCK…plain and simple!…good luck tho

  23. MelyB September 23, 2011

    SHEEEEEEIT Give a Tye Phoenix or Jean Grae a $1,000,000 contract and see what you’d get – both spit pure fire but no this novelty act not only gets handed a contract but gets shine on these blogs. B**** please take several seats so you and your racist crew can sit & spin on them – wack a** b****.

  24. JAMIR21: I LOVE THE ILLUMINATI (BRITNEY, BEYONCE, RIHANNA, GAGA, AND NICKI) !!!! September 23, 2011

    You suck Kreayshawn your music is garbage and your ugly !
    @ Taylor Swifts Number 1 Fan You can see her lasting two albums…i cant see her lasting one album or YEAR ! 🙂
    Gucci Gucci is failing on the charts as we speak !
    Kreayshawn= ONE HIT WONDER

  25. Gigi September 23, 2011

    This b****….I co-sign everyone who stated that her whiteness is what is garnering her attention. Hell, Nicki Minaj had to do the “white girl” thing to get attention…can you see someone like Missy Eliott or Yo-Yo or even Salt-n-Pepa being famous today?

  26. TIMMI September 23, 2011

    HAHAHAHAHAHA…

    The fact that she is white would be BENEFICIAL to her. When a white person does something 150,000 other black folk can do it is always magnified into this big glorious talent. And besides, white folk support eachother anyway.

    People are pushing you down because your “music” is wack; nothing more, nothing less.

  27. THEMAN September 23, 2011

    I like Kreyshawn

  28. TIMMI September 23, 2011

    And her attempt at a “free style” proves everything stated in this post…

  29. JAMIR21: I LOVE THE ILLUMINATI (BRITNEY, BEYONCE, RIHANNA, GAGA, AND NICKI) !!!! September 23, 2011

    Kreayshawn is wack as hell !
    I wonder when her album is going to come out…is it going to flop !
    Gucci Gucci ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> ONE WORD: TRASH !

  30. VA STAND UP!!! September 23, 2011

    LMAO! Awww, bless her lil delusional heart. A white girl pulling the race card! Chile boo! It’s not because you are white sweetie, it’s because you SUCK! From your music, to your style, everything about you is just absolute rubbish!

    Yeah there are plenty of gimmicky artist that have had & are having success and she is entitled to milk the cow till it’s tits fall off as well, but that doesn’t mean people are gonna take you seriously. Race has nothing to do with it! Eminem is white he is one of the most successful rappers there is and that’s because he raps about REAL s***! She may be from the Bay and hang out around a lot of black people but that doesn’t make you down! She doesn’t tell a story with her music! Hell it’s not even rap, she’s a pop artist trying to pass as a rapper. She’s on Ke$ha’s level. SMH.

    I still don’t understand why she gets so much attention on blogs anyway! That HORRIBlE ass ‘Gucci, Gucci’ song didn’t even do well on the charts. I NEVER hear it on the radio and she hasn’t even had any major TV perfomances. Every since her random ass MTV nomination (which was NOT deserved) blogs have been covering her, but not for her music. Her so called ‘beef’ with Rick Ross’ fat ass the main thing that she has gotten attention for! She is making headlines for everything OTHER than her music. She may not realize it but most people are just making fun of her. No one takes her seriously!

    Bottom line is she is a non talented gimmick who won’t last long. She better enjoy all this non deserved attention while it last.

  31. BitchIcantevenspellwelfare September 23, 2011

    Um, no. people are “pushing you down” because your music is garbage.

    & just for clarification, Oakland and Alameda are two different cities. She is from the latter.

    We ALL know why she chooses the rep the former–*side eye*

  32. Eric September 24, 2011

    Well… she seems a lot nicer than her stupid ass song. Maybe people don’t like her because of how bad and pretentious her song is.

  33. wise September 24, 2011

    This woman. Please.
    Stop trying to find reasons to make yourself feel better about your lack of talent.
    JoJo is white. I like her.
    If you were black and this is the music you produced,
    I’d still dislike you.
    Sit down. Please.

  34. nice_gurl September 24, 2011

    It’s because her rapping sucks, not because of her race. Who listens to that rubbish?

  35. TheE September 25, 2011

    JUST TO CORRECT YOU, ITS NOT BECAUSE YOUR WHITE ITS BECAUSE YOUR WACK ;P

  36. iSimplyDGAF September 25, 2011

    Its not so much that you’re white..I mean hey if you’re white and you have SERIOUS skills we can accept that and rock with you. I mean look at Em. He’s not trying to be something hes not. Now Kreshawyn on the other hand…chick looks like Amy Winehouse meets Gaga meets Katy Perry and yeah the combo sounds like it would be good..its not. You’re a white chick who bashes other rappers and uses ni__a like you’re my distant cousin, a minority, or hell even partially of African decent. Like you never have to worry about being accepted, and you can hang it up.
