Alicia Keys Thinks Government and Media Killed Tupac and Biggie
By Karen | April 15, 2008
Attention please all those conspiracy wackos out there. Your new ruler Alicia Keys has made a claim that the government created “gangsta rap” so black people will kill each other off. HUH?
In her latest interview with Blender magazine Keys believes that “the government and the media were behind the murders of the rappers Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. To stop another great black leader from existing.” Exactly who was the great leader Biggie or Tupac? Am I missing something here?
Keys is quoted in Blender magazine:
‘Gangsta rap’ didn’t exist until the goverment invented it .”
This from a woman who wears a gold AK-47 pendant around her neck “to symbolize strength, power and killing ‘em dead.” Do you think Ronald Reagan or George Bush wrote for Dr Dre? I’ll bet Bill Clinton wrote “A B#### I Knew” for Snoop Dogg.
I admit that I am not a rap expert so tell me if I am wrong….but didn’t Ice-T say something about a Mac-10 and killing cops? I have a hard time believing NWA was a gospel group before the “Man” got them down. Do you think all this could be for publicity for her soon to be released record? The 27 year old Grammy winner admits to suffering from depression after success too early in her career, well now do you think she is suffering from paranoia?

You got a lot of stuff here right, but as you said you are not a rap expert, and because of that your criticizing some stuff here that you don’t know about. i.e Ice-T talking about killing cops. Do you know why? or anything about N.W.A., 2Pac, or BIG. She probably thought those things for a long time and decided to let it out. I think recently though, she had an interview with Ryan Seacrest to clear up all of it. She said a lot of it was misinterpreted.

tupac was a prophet he said the government ships occaine in the US to have blacks kill each other, how do you think they can bring in all these drugs if they dont even have a car? the government brings it in. If you listen to Tupacs songs he says the CIA is coming to kill him and God sent him to send the truth about this country and how it kills all the blacks. They shot him 5 times and he kept making songs and said the evil government will suffer.

i belive the goverment had something to do with tupac and biggies murders makeing it seem like there groups had a bigger beef than actualy exsited. From what i’ve seen of Tupac, this man was a leader and spoke from the heart he seemed like the real deal type guy and called it like it is. Politicians are terrified of people like this goverments are terrified of people like this. Tupac had this connection with the everyday man..nevermind the colour of skin, he connected with the underdog. And like Tupac says “I’m just gettting started, i haven’t even wroye out my plan”. I think millions of people world wide would have done anything Tupac asked them to do. Im not saying he would promote violence what im saying is he made people want to do the right thing. he was making peolpe pull there head out of the sand….i could continue..but hey im just a white guy from Canada…what do i know!?

2pac is alive
he’s following the steps of the machiaveli and is coming back 2014
believe it or not
on the other hand if he really is dead the government did have to do something with pacs death
big clue though
in both Pac’s and Big’s death..there was NO suspect.

I believe by now of course they both know the truth…and are peacefully have already transitioned in the next phase beyond this reality.
Perhaps they will be reincarnated to tell what really happened.
For now all we can do is pray

The truth is out there, you just have to seek it. The government is always behind everything but they are in secrecy. Tupac was a man of political views and he had many people following him and doing what he tells them. so much that he said it was scary to him, to have this power. You can look it up more but researching was Illuminati is and then listen to Tupac’s album Don Killuminati. Killuminati = Kill Illuminati… something to think about.

I don’t know about the government but I would say the played a big role in the death of those two artist.
Biggie and 2pac had a personal falling out (they where once friends) and took jabs at each other in their music.
For some reason the media (mainly media that deal with covering hip-hop but it would later spill into the mainstream) took these two guys personal feud and said it was a battle between the east and west cost.
the coverage was so strong and divisive and sadly something that often happens when the media pushes propaganda is that weak minded people take it as truth and in this case there where those who thought there was a war going on between people on both cost and people hated each other. I think people like that egged on by the media is what lead to the death of those two rappers. they (or at least one of them) was gunned down by a nutty fan of the other rapper or rappers of their coast who took that person out for their side.
also since you say you know nothing about hip-hop I think you should know that in the begining the culture was used to die down violence, by having kids use breakdancing or even rapping to settle things instead of fighting.
And if you listened to rap in the 80’s and a bit into the early 90’s you didn’t hear much “gangsta rap” but during the 90’s gangsta rap was what got pushed hard by the media and rap songs with positive message go heavily down played. The radio, tv station that play music videos are the gatekeepers of what most of us hear and giving that the people selection what songs got played seemed to think it’s a good thing to push rap about violence and drugs over less destructive topics. It does raise the question why mostly white owned corporations decided to push such negative music and market it to a largly Black market.
