Alicia Keys made comments about ?gangsta rap? in an interview with Blender magazine which she says were misinterpreted. The 27-year old singer was quoted in saying ?Gangsta rap was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. Gangsta rap didn?t exist.? What a conspiracy theory, huh? In a statement issued by J Records, Alicia now says ?My comments about `gangsta rap? were in no way trying to suggest that the government is responsible for creating this genre of rap music. The point that I was trying to make was that the term was oversloganized by some of the media causing reactions that were not always positive.?
