I dont 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 dont like people who dont like me. I dont like her then because thats what provides the life for me.

I think if you ask Ice Cube the same shit, hell tell you, F*ck Alicia Keys for even saying that. Because the success hes had as an actor and a businessman, there was no opportunity for that sh*t without N.W.A. But I dont think that [her] classical sh*t is cool. I dont give a f*ck if you can classically play the piano. I havent been classically trained, because my upbringing, nobody put me in front of a piano at that time. If they did, I would know how to do it as well as she does. I could learn how to play the piano if I was passionate about it right now.

Thats obviously my perspective evaluating what she does, and I could f*cking care less about the sh*t. So she dont like the music that embodies the harsh realities because theyre not her realities. She hasnt been subjected to the same things.
