Alicia Keys: 'Gangsta Rap' Created to Convince Black People to Kill Each Other

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: 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.

    If this is true, Alicia's logic is terrible. How can she say that gangsta rap was a ploy by the government to encourage blacks to kill each other, but then go on to say that Tupac & Biggie were killed in a conspiracy by the government to prevent great black leaders from existing? Didn't she just say they were created by the government to pit blacks against each other? But now they're great leaders who the gov killed? Anyway…good logic, Alicia.

    Ha! I cant believe she lets such stupid statements come out of her mouth. I read Black Panthers books too a long time ago. With the exception of Angela Davis who is an intelligent and thought-provoking author, most of these books truly (excuse my language) suck balls. Eldrigde Cleaver's Soul on Ice? Haha! Biggest piece of crap I've ever read, the guy needed therapy big time. You can say all you want about the Black Panthers, you can hate them, love them whatever. But one thing is for sure: you won't find the meaning of life by reading their books (with all due respect)

    Paranoia and suspicion of "others" not like yourself is a necessary step toward being a giant racist. Racism never starts out as full-blown hatred, just starts with an irresistable suspicion and creeps steadily toward an irrational disgust.

    Re: Sara – I totally agree. Celebrities get some success singing songs or pretending to be someone else on screen and all of a sudden they think they're fucking experts in politics (Alicia), architecture (Brad), ecosystems (Hayden) and whatnot. Most of them hardly ever finished high school!! Uneducated morrons with big egos, that's what they are.

    RE: Read Kwame Nkrumah instead

    WORD! I read alot of his work when I was in college. Being for yourself does not mean you are against white people. Those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it. Black people can be prejudiced but in order to be a racist you have to have power over others. We need to get our heads together.

    Oh great, another fucking musician who thinks she needs to educate the world. All she's doing by reciting shit by Black Panthers is fueling hate. Why is it that black people can say and espouse whatever they want without the slightest fucking repercussion. Can anyone say Barack Obama? He could have *murdered* a white person and no one would even dare blush.

    Re: Melissa – Hold up. I never played the race card. My point was to say that ppl wonder why blacks love to play the race card its because the statements that were said about black ppl. I'm happy that your husband is black and he's doing good at his job or w/e. But what does that have to do with what i said. My dad is working in Joint Chief of Staff in the Pentagon, my granddady does things for security in the military, my uncles also work in pentagon and they have either a masters or ph.d's. And the reason some blacks can't get a good education is because they don't have access to a good education. They live in some the poorest places in America and they just know what's around them. They don't know anything else. But answer my question where was your husband born and raised?

    I agree. When rap first started it was more about hanging out with your friends listening to cool beats- not killing eachother and "pimpin' the ho's". Also, Alicia Keys is interracial.

    220

    She isn't black. She is biracial, which is its OWN race. It isn't black and it isn't white. It is either blight or whack. But it isn't half anything. Genes don't come in 50/50 varieties. But why she has decided to hate the white side of herself is something that she needs some therapy for. She is a beautiful and talented woman who has been misled. She makes A LOT of money- who is torturing her???? These ingrates - anything to blame someone else while they put millions in the bank. I'm starting to think that acting and musical talent are not related to basic common sense or natural intelligence. I suppose we invented sickle cell disease, high blood pressure and spray paint just to piss her off, too.

    Re: Racism exists – How clever and original, thing is I don't have any children. White people always claim rap is violent racist etc but have never even listened to one song let alone a whole CD. You're doing exactly what I stated before - listening to the like of Bill O'Reilly instead of going out listening to a CD for yourself and finding out what it's really about but no you can't think for yourselves. You just listen to whatever another person has to say about it, instead of forming your own opinion. It's called being brain washed and close minded. You say rappers are racist yet you are on hear talking about nappy-headed hoes?! Are you special or something? Rappers aren't whats wrong with the world! It's racist ignorant idiots like you! Why do whites say Alicia is racist then go right ahead and make a racist comment about blacks in the very same post? You all are getting offended to be called racist but obviously just proved you are! Call me crazy but I will never understand how whites think. How they think that they are better than another group of people.

    Re: Jessie – i agree with this

    All in all: guys you should all FIRST READ, SECOND THINK CAREFULLY, THIRD COMMENT. take for all three steps enough time, don't jump the gone on your reaction and comments.

    Then you'll see that Alicia didn't say anything racist!

    The government of the USA prefers a special method of getting rid of groups, which the government finds disturbing. this method is: divide this group in at least two parts and play those of against each other… like in iraq, .. or among hip hop fans.
    It has nothing to do with the color of the skin. It could be (or will be next) any group, the gays, the students, the latinos… the different types of the islam in iraq.. COGITATE MORE…

    If "Gangsta rap" was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other, I wish it would have been MUCH more successful. And as for "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.' "…on what planet would either of those two street thugs ever have been a "great black leader"? I've also heard that cocaine and crack were propogated to hold the black people down. IT'S not doing a good enough job either…!!! Homegirl should just shut up and sing.

You don't need to understand white people (as if all whites are of one mind set…hmmmm who is stereotyping now?) I was very liberal at one point…but that changed over time having lived in a city where whites are the minority and the city was run by a racist corupt black mayor…that city…killadelphia…the city is gone for good thanks to the brotha's and sistahs running the city (into the ground) Oh, and those were the wonderful racist mayor's direct words. Thank God I moved out of that hell hole years ago to a place that is more civilized. It is just too easy to offend you isn't it..sorry your barren too.

    238

    The reptilian group includes many prominent people and practically every world leader from Britain's late Queen Mother to George H.W. Bush, Hillary Clinton, Harold Wilson, and Tony Blair. These people are either themselves reptilian, or work for the reptiles as slave-like victims of multiple personality disorder: "The Rothschilds, Rockefellers, the British royal family, and the ruling political and economic families of the U.S. and the rest of the world come from these SAME bloodlines. It is not because of snobbery, it is to hold as best they can a genetic structure — the reptilian-mammalian DNA combination which allows them to 'shape-shift'."

    In Tales From The Time Loop and other works, David Icke states that most organized religions, especially Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are Illuminati creations designed to divide and conquer the human race through endless conflicts. In a similar vein, Icke believes racial and ethnic divisions are an illusion promoted by the reptilians, and that racism fuels the Illuminati agenda.

    Exactly. same theory of B.Hussein Obama's Pastor, Michelle Obama and all the radical blacks. To all our brothers of the "other" race: Hey, keep blaming other people for your mistakes and you will always feel like "victims".
    Take a fucking responsability for your lives! TO THE BLACK MEN- Take care of your children, pay child support, be part of their life-TO THE BLACK MOTHERS-stop having ten thousand children and not a decent job to support them. How about getting married and have a decent family before even think of having children?

    And to ALICIA KEYS-sorry honey, you have a great voice and you are certainly a beautiful woman, but I got news for you: THE GOVERNMENT DON'T MAKE RAPPERS HATE EACH OTHER, THE RAPPERS SHOULD TAKE RESPONSABILITY FOR THEIR LYRICS AND THEIR KILLINGS.

    Sorry Alicia, you sound like an idiot.

    261

    I wonder if what she's trying to say is that the media played up "gangster rap" and "East Coast/West Coast" feuds that it was inevitable that young black kids were going to listen to it and get, in her words, "brainwashed" into thinking that they, as a race, should be divided. And with that would come shootings and killings. It's just her opinion and her theory, and I don't think she should be blasted for it.

  62. Erica says – reply to this


    262

    Ok, first off she is HALF WHITE, the black in her comes from her dads side, and guess what? Her dad has never been in her life of course, her white mother raised her, so I have no idea why she is being such a brain washed racist cunt. "gangsta rap as a ploy to get black people to kill eachother"? That's highly laughable, if they wanted black people to all kill eachother they would just stop trying to end gangs, and gang violence, because almost every gang related death to a black man is caused by another BLACK GANG MEMBER, and I am actually a fan of tupac, and I don't think he would agree with the crack head alicia keys theories. Which are hardly even theories in itself, it's not like she should get all the credit, plenty of black people have used this theory, just another typical black person not qualified enough to do good in this world, so he sits around and blames the white people , that's who started this theory. if this is true, then you know what I guess AIDS did start from an african fucking a monkey, lmfao. Idiots will believe anything.

    Re: woot – I suppose you are being sarcastic? What is it exactly that Tupac and Notorious B.I.G were saying that was so amaaaazingly smart and thought-provoking? No seriously, I'd like to know because for me it's one of the greatest mysteries of the 90s: that some people actualy saw those guys as some kind of "leaders". I mean I've grown up with hip-hop. I've listened to Tupac's and Biggie's tracks many times and all I hear is the usual egocentric rant about how hard life is when you have 3 villas, 7 benzes, only champagne to drink for breakfast and suffer from having lots of (I quote) "bitches" throwing themselves at you all the time. And classics such as the "things were better when we were young", "life is though in the ghetto", or "everyone is jealous of me" clichĂ©s. Whatever. I mean, wow really? Life is hard in the ghetto? Who would have guessed!
    If you're being serious then why didn't the goverment kill Chuck D instead then? At least HIS lyrics make some kind of political statement…
    No seriously, if the only people we can think of nowadays as black leaders are people like Tupac and Notorious B.I.G then perhaps it's time to rethink the whole leader-community-whatnot kind of model because it's getting ridiculous. And as someone was writing earlier, what do we need leaders for anyway? Can't we just think by ourselves??

    Dear Comment Readers,

    Please check yourselves. Before you start reverting to childish name-calling and blatant racism, why don't you stop and think where she may be comng from? For all of you who immediately dismissed her comments as racist or started spewing bull about black people blaming everyone else there is NO way that you could possibly understand what she meant by these statements. Use your feeble minds for two seconds and think about the dynamics of the record company. Sure, most hip-hop artists are Black and do have a responsibility for their lyrics; however if ANY musician hopes to make a name for themselves he or she must adhere to the stipulations of the music industry. Now let's put our collective heads together and think: who controls the record business? Oh that's right WHITE PEOPLE and what's popular in mainstream hip-hop? Violence and misogyny. Now let's put 2 and 2 together: Whie people control the record industry and "encourage" hip-hop artists to write lyrics that promote the staus quo.

    Make sense? If none of that made sense to you then good luck in the future you ignorant fuck.

    Ah come on!!!! The government?? You got to be kidding me.
    The whole east-coast vs. west-coast thing was just a record company trick to get more albums sold. Nothing like a good old rivalry to boost sales. And if you can get your artists to die then it's even better! Martyr status is a good plus too. How much have they not been milking 2pac's and B.I.G's deaths? 2pac is selling more records now than when he was alive, they're even releasing crappy tapes he recorded while in high-school! Puff Daddy got lots of hit records thanks to his "loss" too (personally I think he killed them but who cares anyway).
    Don't blame the governement on this one, blame capitalism.
    As for black-on-black crime. it's been going on for AGES, way before the 90s, so what the hell is she talking about?????????

    Exactly! Who runs the music business? I refuse to support and have no interest in CDs that promote violence and misogyny and I applaud Alicia for stepping it up. We need to get our heads together. YOU GO GIRL!

    btw retards Obama will NEVER BE PRESIDENT, get over it, do you really think the corrupt republicans, and the illumnitti, and the powerful government will let him become president? and if he did become president, it really doesnt matter because so many people are above the president and tell him what to do anyway, and btw YOUR VOTE DOES NOT COUNT, all middle and lower class America is totally worthless to people of higher power, and your vote means shit, sorry. its up to the government and higher people who will be in office, and even when mccaine gets in office, he still doesnt make all of the decisions and if he tries to he will get killed just like thomas jefferson did. k thanks bye.

    She is so smart. "Racism" is the wrong term IDIOTS. However, I wouldn't be surprised since the majority of you don't travel, read BOOKS, and sleep with douchebags FOR FREE. God Bless America-pretty please!

    why are all you white people so racist? What the hell is your problem?
    this doesn't sound like something alicia would say at all, her mother said that as well as her publicist. If you believe anything you read on this site, you truly are moronic.

    Re: hollywood shows its stupidity – - wow, i couldnt have said it better myself? Alicia, your a singer/song writer. So keep singing and writing songs and shut the fuck up with your silly opinions, no one gives a shit. Infact just sing and never talk, cause ure always saying sumthing stupid. Your very lucky you were blessed with a good voice, other wise you'd be nothing and no one would hear the crap that comes out of your mouth. So lucky you, unlucky us. Hey did white polititians write 2pac and biggie lyrics too?

    alicia is so talented but really the people who comment like that are why amercias devided like it is
    she i bi-racial and should be proude to be a beauitful mix of to beauitful colours and shouldn't forget half of who she is black people are not treated unfairly at all she they will always be some racist people BUT THATS LIKE THAT IN EVERy COUNTRY IN THE WHOLE WORLD of all races, not just white's, but the reason amercias is like it is, is because the afician amercians divide them self from america like black church's awards show JUST for black people only,colleges.etc.. it's like not everyone's like that but most are and weather you admit it or not IT'S TRUE if everyone afician-american people changed there ways then it would be different saying they get treated like second call citzens and that white people get more chances in life etc… NO IT'S NOT LIKE THAT es some people are racist like some are in every country not as a whole it's not and they try to forget that, and black people can laso be racist aswell like obama,and his friend wright, but people think they can get a way with it.

    this website panders to idiotic white girls who are obviously racist. i think perez is racist too. i would not be so quick to call something like this a conspiricy theory because the government has, for going on 500 years, used the insititutions and systems of our country to keep black people down. watch race: the power of illusion, a pbs series for something that is actually interesting.

    The Black Panthers include the mother of the late Tupac Shakur, and these thoughts fit exactly in line with what Biggie and Tupac themselves said - the media fueled the East Coast/West Coast feud - Biggie was once quoted as saying "DON'T FEED INTO IT!" They knew who was making it get out of ahnd, and it wasn't the people directly involved!

    What is with all these black people and their conspiracies, white people are conspiring to kill blacks so they invented Aids and are injecting them with it or bringing drugs into the country to get them hooked and then imprison them, now this retard comes out with gangsta music was created to convince black people to kill each other. No wonder 150 years after slavery they still use it in the 21st century as a excuse for problems they have perpetuated on themselves, their just people who love to play the victim and are never responsible for any of their actions. If you were to look at black communities any where in the world from Canadian cites or American cities or British cities or Jamaica or Africa their societal problems are all the same, 7 out of 10 black babies are born from single mothers, drug and crime rates, more men go to prison they finch high school, it's not just America that has problems with blacks it's every Western country and Africa is what happens when they don't have another race to blame for all their problems. No country but America have black people been as successful but they just want more for nothing and white liberals are their lawyers using race as their ATM card and it only makes them a bankrupt community in the end.
