Everyone is acting all shocked at the Blender cover story with Alicia Keys in which she expresses a belief that gangsta rap was invented to keep black people killing each other, and the Tupac Biggie feud was orchestrated to eliminate the chance of a great black leader popping up.. The facts may not support these theories, but is it really so crazy for her to be suspicious? People are way too judgemental. All you latte drinking hip-hop elitists from the creative class, trying to throw Alicia Keys under the bus. You should be ashamed.
‘Gangsta rap’ was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. ‘Gangsta rap’ didn’t exist.”
Keys, 27, said she’s read several Black Panther autobiographies and wears a gold AK-47 pendant around her neck “to symbolize strength, power and killing ‘em dead,” according to an interview in the magazine’s May issue, on newsstands Tuesday.
Another of her theories: The bicoastal feud between slain rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. was fueled “by the government and the media, to stop another great black leader from existing.” Keys’ AK-47 jewelry came as a surprise to her mother, who is quoted as telling Blender: “She wears what? That doesn’t sound like Alicia.” Keys’ publicist said Keys was on vacation and unavailable for comment.
