Why are rappers and hip hop held to a higher standard than other artists and genres...

Some Hollywood screenwriter can write all kinds of disgusting stories about rape and violence...

A comedian can say all kinds of crude jokes about rape, race and etc, but because "it's a joke" it's given a free pass..

But hip hoppers have to be squeaky clean or labelled menaces to society...

Cuz we all know rappers are not entertainers, they are everything they depict in their music...and yet they're untouchable by police

So When did this "WAR ON HIP HOP LYRICS" began and who's really to blame? Hip Hop has never been fully understood by White America but Lyrics were never an issue. Before they just called it a Fad and hope it would disappear. But things changed in the late 80's when Hip Hop Lyrics went from PG to R-rated. Here are 5 things that cause Rick Ross to lose his Reebok contract 20 years later:

*N.W.A. "fukk the Police". When this song dropped it was like a nuke bomb. Police were condemning it, Politicans were getting involved. The F.B.I. even went after the record label cause of the song. It was crazy but it brought a lot of attention to rap Lyrics.

*2 Live Crew albums goes to court - Uncle Luke and 2 Live Crew's "As Nasty as I wanna be" became the 1st album ruled by a court to be Obscene due to it's sexual lyrical content. It even went all the way to the supreme court of Flordia before they were aquited of all charges.

*2 Live Crew follow up album makes history - Their next album "Banned in the U.S.A." became the 1st album to have the parental advisory label.

*Ice T "Cop Killer" - N.W.A. "Said F*ck the Police" but Ice T took it a step futher claiming to be a "Cop Killer". The song cause a huge fire storm that President Bush and Vice President Dan Quayle as well as Tipper Gore and the F.B.I. Got involved.


220px-2pacalypse_now.jpg


*2 Pac debut album makes a splash - After lackluster reviews and sales from his debut 2 Pac found himself in the middle of a firestorm when Vice President Dan Quayle made an issue about his lyrics. As everyone knows, Tupac was heavily socially conscious and political on his debut album. Due to some lyrical content that a Guy who shot a Texas office said influenced him, Pac album made it the white house. Vice President Dan Quayle stated that "An album like this doesn't belong in society". Tupac even found himself in a war with outspoken advocate Deloris C Tucker for his lyrics.


So there you have it folks. Blame N.W.A., 2 Live Crew, Ice T and Tupac as they are the ones who's lyrics started the War On Hip Hop Lyricism that lost Rick Ross his Reebok contract. Got Eminem and Biggie Censored on their LP's. Got Luda fired from his Pepsi Deal after Bill O'really made a fuss about lyrics. The bottom line is this is a war that is on going and will continue as long as Artist talk about real things that happen in real life. As horrible as Ricky's line was, there are dudes that drug women and rape them.

Anyway, I'm really upset that this lame lyric is the one that made people say "this man is :demonic:" fukk everyone who was ok with him killing black folks, selling tons of bricks, manipulating Noriega making him owe Ross 100 favors...etc on songs


Cuz the black folks getting killed on his songs didn't protest it, we cosigned.

The feminist didn't lay down that easy....



What I did...did you see it? :shaq:

he never even said he had sex with this ficticious mollied up woman. he merely says that he took her home and he enjoyed that. for all you know, he was giving her a ride home and was being a good samaritan. he was happy about that. she just didnt even know it and had arrived home safely without realizing what an honorable thing he did.
