ALICIA KEYS SAYS GANGSTA RAP WAS A [GOVERNMENT]CONSPIRACY
EUR WEB ^ | April 14, 2008

*In an interview with Blender magazine, Alicia Keys says she believes that "gangster rap" and the bicoastal feud that resulted in the deaths of Tupac and Biggie were created by The Man.

"'Gangsta rap' was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. 'Gangsta rap' didn't exist," said Keys, 27, in the magazine's May issue, on newsstands tomorrow.

The singer also says that the rivalry between slain artists Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. was fueled "by the government and the media, to stop another great black leader from existing."

The Grammy-winner, who wears a gold AK-47 pendant around her neck "to symbolize strength, power and killing 'em dead," says she wants to get more political with her material in future projects.

She said 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."

You can’t say the “people” because they will get very offended. As in, “you people don’t understand”, you will will be labled a racist. And you can’t say “them” or “they” either. So how do we refer to .... ?

No, that’s the job of white people. I’ve never posted something this bitter before, but whites have to accept responsibility for every little thing that blacks do wrong.

It’s always the fault of a white person when a black commits a crime, it’s the fault of whites when blacks riot over a verdict, and it’ll be the fault of white America if Obama isn’t the candidate chosen and there will be riots if Obama isn’t elected president because it was an evil white conspiracy that prevented his victory and we’ll be expected to hand him a victory, ‘or else.’

It seems to be getting worse as Obama continues his campaign. If he gets the nomination, blacks everywhere will be spouting racist conspiracies so that way they can try to guilt America into electing Obama as president.

Blacks everywhere seem to be getting more nasty these days. I know it might be a generalization, but after the Jeremiah Wright expose, it seems as if blacks in the media and elsewhere almost relish in throwing this sort of thing in the faces of the media and white people. It’s unnerving. The Democrats might be forced to bite the bullet and make Hillary the official nominee. Obama is a dangerous polarizing figure that seems to surround himself with people who thrive on saying the worst about white Americans

Not to mention arranging drive-bys and robberies.

If only the government can come up with a conspiracy to have that community work a steady job and stay with their baby’s mother.

Another lunatic wannabe thugette -- anyone with Excel and the pertinent date can trace the decline of the MSM awards shows, particularly The Grammys, to the laughable hatred of Keyes; Big or Fattie or whatever his dead ass is referred to these days; Two-Pack; Fiddy; Snorp (who is trying to Go Country...

(and I don't think that's what Johnny meant when he told his lovely daughter Roseanne that you "can always come back to the Country")

...and a bunch of assorted miscreants and hangers-on who have most surely reaped what they have sewn.
