Entertainment News: Alicia Keys Reveals Her Militant Side In Blender; Royal Rocker Racks Up Big Benjamins
April 14th, 2008Alicia Keys reveals her militant side in Blender
The sweet sound of Alicia Keys’ music doesn’t show her militancy – but Keys reveals it in
a new Blender magazine interview. Says Keys: “‘Gangsta rap’ was a ploy to convince Black people to kill each other. ‘Gangsta rap’ didn’t exist.” Keys says she’s read up on the Black Panthers and identifies with the 1960s revolutionary organization’s belief in bearing arms. She even wears a gold AK-47 pendant “to symbolize strength, power and killing ’em dead,” according to the interview. Keys asserts that the deaths of rappers Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur were fueled “by the government and the media to stop another great, Black leader from existing.” The new issue of Blender hits stands tomorrow.
Royal rocker racks up big Benjamins
Prince is reportedly awaiting a $4.8 million pay day to perform at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. He’s scheduled to headline a Saturday at the three-date California gig that starts April 25. A source tells gossip site PerezHilton.com: “Prince was a late addition to the line-up. The promoters added him to try and sell more tickets and make up for a less than stellar – in comparison to years past – roster of performers.”

I think it is about time, someone realized the government was behind all the bull that happened to tupac, and biggie. Alicia keep providing the truth so the people-african american people can stand up to the government, and stop them from destroying us.
Amen!
Alicia hit the nail on the coffin. The government is something else. They quited a great leader (Tupac Shakur).
I totally believe what AK is saying. They made up a lot of stuff in both cases and there were dirty cops involved. i’m not surprised at all.
And I’m happy that Prince is getting paid. He deserves it. He’s a genious. I know MJ wish he could get a payday like that to perform.
india’s world!
I knew I liked her for some reason… An intelligent sister is always refreshing especially when she speaks the truth. I’ve always said that Tupac and Biggie’s death was much more than some random stuff and that the “HIT” on those guys came from “THE TOP”….
I do believe that the GOV was behind Pac’s death but not Biggie’s. They don’t want us to come up in no kind of way! Just look at Obama, they’re not going to let this powerful black man in that white house. They will get rid of him by any means necessary!!
In responce to the Prince Pay day …I am glad we have a major artist doing it independently and showing you can get paid with out a major behind you…
Prince thats why your one of my Idols!!!
Rad-Z
I always looked up to Alicia Keys from the moment of just hearing her first single and i knew her voice before i knew or saw her. Alicia is a very intelligent young lady that seems to analze the matter of everything before speaking or singing and i know definetley that what she says- means something and should be heard.
alicia got more “balls” than most of the male
artists we have to endure hearing everyday on the radio.
First you have to stop blaming people for your dumb action,Some like to think that blacks were the first people on this planet and what have we done invented the straighten comb some street lites.We are in a very sad state of affairs.If someone give you poison do you drink it? no,but if someone give you crack you will smoke the rent money.If someone say lets learn to sky dive,you say, are you crazy,but turn right around and shot drugs in your veins.The spanish have come to this country and taken advantage of all the opportunities that this great country has to offer,so it’s time for all the dead beats,welfare queens,to all the tired,lazy black people that is satisfied with sect 8 and getting a monthly link card,remember that the Italians,Polish,Greeks,and Irish came to this country with nothing and builded there own homes and towns with there hands,blood and sweat.So stop yelling the MAN is keeping you down when you don’t take advatage of all the opportunities you have.Stop looking at these crazy demeaning movies and videos and read a book,find out about your conscience self and how to improve yourself and look at yourself and when you do,you will look at yourself in a whole new light.
