Alicia Keys' "gangsta rap" comments were misinterpreted, the R&B songstress says.
In an interview with Blender magazine, Keys, 27, had said that, "The term 'gangsta rap' was so over-sloganized during that time. In so many ways, everyday people as well as the government could have really done so much more to obliterate and eradicate the things that were going on in the community at that time that forced the artists to discuss and talk so strongly what they saw - what they lived with every day."
