Kelly Rowland Backs Rap
Artist:
Kelly Rowland
RWD sat down in London's finest West Indian eaterie, Mr Jerks, with Kelly Rowland recently. In town to discuss her new album Ms. Kelly and the Eve-featuring single Like That but, given she's working with Snoop Dogg on her new record ("I love Snoop. Doggystyle was my joint!"), we wanted to know what she had to say about the Russell Simmons/ Oprah/ Imus debate.
"I don’t think hip hop is to blame," insists Kelly. "Every music has it’s own expression, it’s own art. So it’s how you choose to express yourself through your art. I support hip hop until I die; at the end of the day, we’re all individuals, we make our own decisions and we know right from wrong. But I mean, we got to really look at what's happening here - what going unsaid. Look at Virginia Tech murders- there was supposed to be some situation with the killer listening to rock music - but rock music doesn't get blamed. Like, who are we pointing fingers at here, really? Lets read between the lines , you know?"
As for Imus and she feels that if he was to get sacked, then so should a whole lot of other people.
"I feel like Don Imus shouldn’t have got fired. I feel like there’s so many different DJs and people like that on earth in general, then we should fire them all. What he said was wrong, – but he shouldn’t have been fired. There’s so many Don Imus’ on this earth – fire them all. Enough negativity."
Check the new issue of RWD, out May 21, for the full, revealing interview in which Kelly cries, laughs and talks Beyonce, Boys and Heartbreak.
The single and album are both out in July. Check MySpace.com/kellyrowland fo' mo'
