soooo... Nothing about Russell Simmons wanting to ban the B- H- and N-words from Rap?

So basically we're talking about getting rid of these words from the copies of CDs you get at Wal-Mart and the versions played on the air?

For one thing, aren't these words already edited out on the air?

Pretty slick move by Simmons, pandering to uptight white mommies without addressing the real problems.

I think B, H, and N words in question are actually "bees", "honey", and "nuts". Russell Simmons does not like Cheerios.

[Don Imus]

Imus for Prez.

No thank you.

They wan't to get all of this bad stuff of mainstream airways when it's just as easy to google "skull " or "bukkake"? All of this talk about banning these words is futile, when these songs, and additional depictions female degredation are just as easy to download off the internet.

[leemajors]

it is very possible to make good hip hop albums without these words, it's not like it can't be done. ex. Paid in Full.

[Spam]

I agree.

what comes up when you google skull ? a dude really ing a skull, or 2 skulls ing each other?

[exstatic]

I think it's a bit hypocritical that a rap mogul that probably made tens of millions from albums that contained one or more of those words now wants it stopped.

[T Park]

Yeah, it would be like Snoop Dog coming out ina "Just say no" drug campaign.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Or like TPark coming out with an "eat healthy" campaign.

[T Park]

WTF Dude, lay the off, you dont know me.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Quit being such a little, err...big . You can say I look like Brent Barry, and I can't say you look like a fat ass? I'll lay the off when I'm good and ready, until then...

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I just want to be sure here, let's say for a second that Russell Simmons' thoughts (as are others referenced here) were genuine, why is it wrong for people's decisions to change over the years?

Don't we all have some changes in some thinking when presented with other information or experiences?

[T Park]

WTF?

When did "you look like Brent Barry" become an insult

You'll lay off now sir.

Yeah, if hes genuine, then its a breath of fresh air.

I like rap alot better when they use their heads instead of just dropping the f bomb and hos and es reference.

When did telling a fat ass to eat healthy become an insult? I see commercials saying the same thing to fat asses every day, sir.
