NEW YORK — 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."

I thought it was Alan Keyes for a second.

And I believed it.

One of the more credible conspiracy theories.....nobody would listen to that stuff for enjoyment, so there must be something behind it.

And they want to disarm law-abiding citizens?

I don't think so.

By the government? No.

But by the left wing establishment, the Democrats, Hollywood, and the music industry, yes.

Those are the guys who want to keep blacks on the welfare plantation, and gangsta rap is one way to do it.

There was just someone in the news who was claiming this exact thing. I guess Idi Amin and Charles Taylor and the Hutus must have been raised on gangsta rap.

It was Moss, Jeremiah Wright’s replacement, who came up with the idea that it was white folk who were responsible for this kind of music.

A couple weeks ago, the Phil dude had some people on his show that were unhappy about the way they looked and wanted plastic surgery.

One of the malcontents was a young gal of Asian heritage, who wanted to have her eyes and face modeled to look more western.

No biggie so far...

Her mom then launches into a tirade about how this is all the western medias fault! I nearly fell outa my chair!

Let me get this straight...

YOU chose to come here...
YOU decide you want to look more European or whatever and...
Now it’s all OUR FAULT!!

I was so freakin P’d I was speechless.
