Hip Hip,....
no matter how far it has strayed, is not the enemy. The fallout from Don Imus' comments has shifted. Originally, the focus was on not tolerating racism or sexism in the media, but now the focus has turned entirely to hip hop. Did hip hop influence Don Imus' comments? "Has the industry gone too far with its accepted language" is a completely different issue. Dont make hip hop the focus of the problem. The degrading of our women in hip hop is the product the root problem. Treat the cause of the disease, not the symptoms. Russel Simmons has called for the language to be regulated. I say that if people really wanted to stop the language, they would stop supporting the worst of the worst. We dont need morality police, we just need the peoples actions to match their words, and the only words I hear are lyrics to hack rap artist who would degrade their own people for a dollar. If you wanna stop the use of certain words, then stop using those words, h* @%$ n*$#%s. -j
