Come Again?

So in this issue of Blender Alicia gets quite honest, which is very Alicia by the way. Check out her perspective on Gangster Rap:

We ask what other gangsta rappers she liked. And that’s when Keys drives a steamroller through the wall.“‘Gangsta rap’ was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other,” she says, putting down the sandwich. “‘Gangsta rap’ didn’t exist.”

Come again? A ploy by whom?

She looks at us like it’s the dumbest question in the world. “The government.”Alicia says Tupac and Biggie were essentially assassinated, their beefs stoked “by the government and the media, to stop another great black leader from existing.”

This is exactly why I love Alicia, she keeps it real no matter what! No programmed robot or rehearsed by managers and publicists about what she should and shouldn't say/do in public or interviews. Gotta love this oh so fabulous chic!!

Stay Fab :)
