Erm...Alicia?

‘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.”
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. [source]


Hmm ok Alicia. The gold AK is taking it a bit far I think. Alicia always seemed to be a level headed individual but damn, the government killed Tupac and Biggie? Maybe she should go jam with Mohammed Al Fayed cos them theories will never be proved.
