The lovely Alicia Keys says so.
In an interview with of Blender magazine, Alicia Keys says, “‘Gangsta rap’ was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. ‘Gangsta rap’ didn’t exist.” Asked a ploy by who, she replied incredulously, “The Government.”
Is it any wonder the races are no closer to coming together in fulfilling Martin Luther King’s dream?
UPDATE: Alicia Keys says comments to magazine were misrepresented.
“My comments about `gangsta rap’ were in no way trying to suggest that the government is responsible for creating this genre of rap music. The point that I was trying to make was that the term was oversloganized by some of the media causing reactions that were not always positive.”
