This was dumb, why would she taint her career being associated with them. Dumb.


Alicia Keys shares her conspiracy theories on 'gangsta rap'



There’s another side to Alicia Keys: conspiracy theorist.
The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter tells Blender magazine: "‘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: That 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, Theola Borden, said Keys was on vacation and unavailable for comment.
Though she’s known for her romantic tunes, she told Blender that she wants to write more political songs. If black leaders such as the late Black Panther Huey Newton "had the outlets our musicians have today, it’d be global. I have to figure out a way to do it myself," she said.

The multiplatinum songstress behind the hits "Fallin"’ and "No One" most recently had success with her latest CD, "As I Am," which sold millions.

Ah so she admits blacks are stupid to think for themselves?

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

I always knew that she was just another pretty fce and nothing else.
I have never really understood what was so special about her other than that.

never even gave a shit about her, now I know why. Is she with Pastor Wright now?

I like her songs, but she downright sounds stupid with those comments.

I mean Tuapc and B.I.G. as leaders?

Not surprising, people with too much time and money can afford to sit around and think up stupid shit.....

"We are like tenant farmers chopping down the fence around our house for fuel when we should be using Natures inexhaustible sources of energy — sun, wind and tide. ... I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that."

I think this guy made a couple of valid points in the comments section below the article.

Also, even though her sales numbers appear to be decent (according to the article, anyway) I don't recall seeing much of her lately. Nothing like shock and awe for a marketing boost.


I'd still hit it.

She can play the piano. Lot of black music entertainers CANT PLAY A FUCKING INSTRUMENT.

In any case, when interviewed she sounds ghetto if I remember correctly. Beyonce too and that really depresses me.

Alicia Keys has a great voice, but if she truly believes this shit, she's a dumb cunt.

I remember Howard Stern trashing her so hard about that when she got a Grammy back in the day. She said something in her interview like "oh my goodness" a hundred times in a row that sounded so forced and ghetto wannabe-ish. I was pissin myself when Howard was mimmicking it.

The above article simply makes Alicia sound like a moron. She should be ashamed.

I'd bet $100 that if she was given an AK, a box of ammo, and a magazine, she couldn't get it to fire.

She's lying about the whole AK-47 representing the Black Panthers. Guaranteed it's because her initials are "AK" but now that the whole conspiracy shit popped off, she's playing it off like she's some type of hard ass. She probably just bought it yesterday.
