Skip the tin foil…
Alicia Keys may want to skip the tin foil hat (it’s so unattractive) and head straight to the Shrink for a complete mental evaluation. Her most recent interview reveals a paranoid-conspiracy laden opinion. She also states that she wants to make her music more political. After all, going political is always such a huge career booster for singers. Just ask the Dixie Chicks. Her new label could be called “Kill ‘em dead records!” and her logo could be a nice gold AK-47. The bling with a bang.
NEW YORK — There’s another side to Alicia Keys: conspiracy theorist.
(excerpt)
Fox NewsThe 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.”
OK, she thinks that Tupac and B.I.G were rising great black leaders? Really? No, really? If what she claims is true then whose next? Snoop?
Keys’ AK-47 jewelry came as a surprise to her mother, who is quoted as telling Blender: “She wears what? That doesn’t sound like Alicia.” Keys’ publicist, Theola Borden, said Keys was on vacation and unavailable for comment.
Her mama knows now. It’s gonna hit the fan. I am a mom and anytime a mom says “She wears THAT?” you know she’s about to stomp some butt. I hope that Keys’ “vacation” was to a very exclusive mental health resort.
I just don’t get people, they really need a reality check in life…..maybe if she continues to live her life this way, she may instill enough hate to warrant someone coming after her…..never know what stirs up that kind of emotion in people.

At the risk of sounding reiterative, let me quote Ann Coulter:
“Just shut up and sing!”
Congrats, Ms Keys — you just made my ‘moron’ list.
However, yo momma may settle your hash for you.
We can only hope.
Heh, most nutroots have mommas that are nutroots … maybe this is the exception based on the “she wears what!?” response her mom gave.
I’m not counting on it. I was always told,”hope is NOT a method.”
If her theory has any truth to it then I personally want an explanation from the federal government about Country music. I think it was created as a ploy to make poor white people depressed alcoholics with hound dogs. Just a thought here people…
Claire,
Yeah, those cryin’ steel guitars and the songs about the Devil in the Bottle really get me down. How about “Barroom Buddies” by Clint Eastwood?
Howza bout ‘dem blues tunes: “Reefer and Cocaine” (Muddy Waters), Blind Drunk (Albert Collins), “One Whiskey, One Shot, and One Beer” –George Thorogood.

“…Just ask the Dixie Chicks.”
Haha…I had to laugh at that line.
