October 8, 2000 - Jada Pinkett Smith is commenting to Entertainment Weekly on hip hop music, saying, "You have people preaching this whole thug life but for real, when push comes to shove, there aren't any real thugs.

It's like Malcolm X said: You put two rats in a cage and don't give them any food, and they're going to end up killing each other. And that's what's happening in the black community, but in this case the food we're talking about is education. Ignorance is killing us."
