HA! HA! Spin time!
Clive got in that ass! I bet the conversation went something like this:
Clive:[/b] Ah, Miss keys. Glad you could join me today. Let me ask you something. Do you like bananas?
Alicia: Uh...yeah, I guess so
Clive: How'd you like to eat bananas all of the time?
Alicia: Uh...well, I like other foods
Clive: Well you know what? I like other foods, too. The problem is that when you go and talk to an interviewer like they are those silly little girls you run around with, you cut off our food supply.
Alicia: Oh, That. Well, I was just sayin'....
Clive: BITCH I DON'T PAY YOU TO SAY, I PAY YOU TO SING...and flaunt your ass around on the stage. Look cute, sing and play. That's all I ask. The problem is when you run your fucking mouth about bullshit that nobody gives a damn about anymore to the press and come off sounding like Farrakhan's little mistress, you fuck with our food money!
Alicia: But I was just....
Clive: You were just What? Trying to fuck up everything I've built for your ass? Don't know know who I am? I'm Clive Davis, bitch!
Starmaker. And on more than a few occasions - starbreaker.
Alicia: But they had asked me....
Clive: (snatches Alicia by the hair) I don't give a damn if they as your high yellow ass if two plus two is four, you don't say nothing without running it by me first!
Alicia: I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Clive: You're damn right you're sorry! You know what I've had to do to get you where you are? Do you know the things I've had to cover up about you! I made you look like a damn Disney character and this is how you repay me? Do you think that shit was free? Do you really think you got nine grammys on your own? A new bitch to the game?
Alicia: Please let my hair go.
Clive: I'll do more than let your hair go. I'll let YOU go. I'll snatch the rug right out from under your ass and you can crawl back to Harlem and sing on the gad-damned street corners. Is that what you want?
Alicia: No.
Clive: You like bananas? Because when I'm done with you, no one would even so much as sell you a sandwich in this town or any other one. The only thing anyone will let you eat is bananas! Do you understand me?
Alicia: Yes, Mr. Davis. Look, I can fix this.
Clive: (let's go of Alicia's hair) You're damn right you'll fix it. Now I've set up an interview with that gay guy that hosts American Idol...
Alicia: Ryan Seacrest?
Clive: Yeah, that guy. What you're gonna do is talk to him and smooth this whole thing over. Make it seem like you were misquoted. Then you're gonna stop talking to these so-called urban revolutionaries and spewing conspiracy bullshit so you don't end up looking as crazy as Whitney. Then, you're gonna do a duet with a rock group. Yes, you heard me. Show the public a bit of your white side. In a few months, this shit will blow over and most people will have forgotten. You WILL do this. I don't ever want to hear the words Tupac, Biggie or conspiracy come out of your mouth again or so help me, its bananas for your ass. Are we clear?
Alicia: Yes, sir. We're clear.
Clive: Oh, and Alicia?
Alicia: Huh?
Clive: Take one of those bananas from the from the fruit bowl on your way out.

Pac was an entertainer and had 0 political power. His fans would rally behind him if he was doing a show but his mixed-message ass couldn't organize his wallet, much less rally people to a cause. Don't be delusional. People weren't going to gather around Pac as any sort of leader and even less so with Biggie. Pac came out in the 80s/90s, not the 70 and I don't know how old you were but i can testify to the FACT that the black panther movement had long since died by the time Pac was popular. The government had NO reason to kill Pac or Biggie. Its the marytr syndrome again. Trying to make a dead celeb out to be more than they actually were.
As to the 3 million sold comment - have you no clue as to how music is marketed? She damn near sold a million just showing up in public with Clive Davis. The hype machine worked HARD on and for Alicia. That conspiracy shit is the pathway to get her dropped. If she gone all Farrakhan on her records, she'll be gone faster than the Macarena.

Alicia forgot about Iceburg Slim; how he was the idea behind early gangsta rap. Schooley D was the first, then you had Ice-T and NWA admitting that they "started the shit."

Yes, I know Alicia, Ice-T and Dre are in the CIA.

HA! HA! Spin time!

Tupac Amaru Shakur (June 16, 1971 – September 13, 1996)

If Pac was alive today, he would have been age 37.
