I don't think I've ever heard Alicia Keys say anything that would cause anyone to raise much of an eyebrow before today. During an interview with Blender Magazine, Alicia lets off a few conspiracy theories including the statement "`Gangsta rap' was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. `Gangsta rap' didn't exist."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."This entire thing is SO out of left field I'm not even sure what to say. I was always under the impression that Gangsta Rap was started by people who didn't care for the authorities too much (see the cover of Ice Cube's 'Death Certificate' for reference)."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."*"Read The Entire Associated Press Article HERE":http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5ibsAEZmYrooKgmHaezmgGUKZu-lQD8VVUAHG0*
