Alicia Keys Thinks, "Gangsta Rap," Was Created To Make Blacks Kill Each Other
The 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.”
“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.”
I think Gangsta rap was created from people conveying the struggles they went through or seen in their environment. I don’t think the government is behind the deaths of Tupac & Biggie either.

shutup bitch; No one is forcing anyone to kill each other over music. How can you be a great leader, if your a follower to gangsta rap, and you let it dictate what you do, and cause you to kill others. It’s motherfucking music, if you let it control you, you are nothing but an ignorant follower yourself.

i mean gangsta rap came from the hood, the ghotto, which governments created,and pumped crack, guns, and liquor into. which led to disenfranchised youths needs a vice and a forum to express their frustrations. so in that sense she has a point
but between big and pac, i believe government and media did fuel that fire but, i blame pac for not recognizing that he was a leader and that he was falling right into the anti hiphop pocket by fueling this fire which was 50% pac and 50% suge knight. they were paperchasing the best way rappers know how and i led to his death. i think suge had pac hypnotized by that paper and when pac started to seem like he was waking up from his death row phaze suge had him murked so he could keep selling his music
i wont judge alicia based on these comments alone, i thought she was a smart girl

Gangsta rap is definitely something that record labels and mainstream media love. It sells and it makes black ppl look like a bunch of idiots. The image of the black man in media is a violent crazy oversexual person with no respect for women. Those are stereotypes that every gangsta rapper live up to and that’s why mainstream media love gangsta rap. Many young black kids growing up also copy these fools and think it’s cool to be a gangsta and not speak properly. That’s how you act black. These images brainwash many young black kids to think we have to look and act like a bunch of ignorant punks, drop out of school..etc and if we don’t do that, then we are selling out and acting white. Mainstream media love to promote gangsta rap to the masses big time so everybody can see what black ppl are all about and for some reason we love these images of ourselves. It’s a way to promote black on black crime. Media decided to promote this gangsta stuff in the 90s. It’s been going on for such a long time that it’s difficult even today for a rapper to get respect and signed unless he’s somewhat of a gangsta, with streetcred. The image is in many cases more important than being a skilled rapper. That’s why most topics in rap songs are about killing people, hoes and material things, and therefore you have many fake gangstas who act a certain way to get respect. That way of acting is an ignorant way of carry yourself that will only lead you to prison (When keepin it real goes wrong) or an early brutal death. Just like the white man wants.
Black man you’re doing exactly what the white man and mainstream media want you to do. Act like a gangsta and kill your own people. That’s how you’re being a real nigga.
