I am an anarchist, says Alicia
It seems that Alicia Keys is not scarce an expert on "wreckless love," teenage affairs and fallin' for a special soul - she's likewise got the inwardly scoop on the confederacy at the heart of American English hip-hop.Gangsta tap was a "ploy to win over black hoi polloi to kill from each one other," the vocaliser has claimed in an interview with Blender powder magazine. Patch near people see Ice T and Dr Dre simply as musicians prone to crow more or less their sexual conquests, Keys insists they were instruments of mysterious puppetmasters world Health Organization subsist to perpetuate the whang community's strife.
Keys besides asserts in the interview that the late-90s feud between orient and rebecca West coast hip-hop was created by shadowy figures in regime. The deaths of Notorious Big and Tupac Shakur were constituent and parcel of this be after, an attempt "to period another great negroid leader from existing," she told Liquidizer.Keys isn't afraid of entering politics herself, presumptively to put a stop to altogether this sorting of thing. "Roughly of the greatest artists did their best crop when they got political," she told Blender. "If Malcolm [X] or Huey [P. Newton] had the outlets our musicians possess today, it'd be global. I have to flesh out a way to do it myself."The singer considers herself an syndicalist, and indeed the Newly York law department revealed last year that they had Keys under observation in the initiate to the 2004 Republican National Convention, fearing "anarchist actions".Though there's no sign of the zodiac that Keys has joined a revolutionary commune or taken to donning a negro balaclava, she has, er, donated a unit $500 to the US Democratic party. And what could be more nihilist than that?Still, nobody should doubtfulness the intensity of Alicia Keys' convictions. Her fervour is symbolised in the chandelier she wears around her neck. It's not a pretty star or a broken heart, a unicorn or a rainbow. It's instead an AK-47 automobile gun for hire. Made of solid gold. And, um, what does it represent? "Intensity level, mightiness and violent death 'em dead." Hurrah for speaking sojourner Truth to power.
