ATL…overly
businesses are concerned with making a profit, not providing a consistent moral compass

This. Ross implying date rape on a record threatened to hurt Reebok's moral compass. Ross rapping about killing nikkaz & moving weight did not. Ross being a "boss" didn't realize how untasteful public protests outside the corporate offices of one of your big sponsors looked until it was too late

it's all hypocritical bullshyt, sponsors have no problem with nikkas talking about drugs and killing but rape is were the line is drawn :dafuk:

its very hypocritical..

if you notice the responses in the thread, most are from the resident hypocrites who have double-standards on everything.. some dumb ass people not only in this thread, but this world in general.. let em be.. this dude will get another endorsement deal.. small bump in the road..

smh...my question is, if they cave and dump him over some silly shyt like this...why'd they sign him the first place :dwillhuh: .... did they not know he's a gangsta rapper with far more egregious lyrics than even that one? Dude has an entire catalog of potentially faux outrage inducing lyrics...I don't get it

cuz of the pressure from feminists groups. Reebok supports gangta rap as long as they can exploit the shyt. when the pressure comes, they denounce it. I dont like Ross or anything he stands for, but fukk Reebok and any other bloodsuckers out here because the ironic thing is they are raping our culture for monetary gain.

it always comes back to bite you though. remember when the CEO of the SPCA was flapping her gums about Mike Vick and how he didnt need to be reinstated in the league? Then less than a month later the bytch left her dog in the car on a 91 degree day for hours and he died?

Hell, Roethlisberger been takin ass

Ross did fukk up, and I saw this coming from a mile away when the controversy hit overdrive. But, who the hell wears Reeboks besides Swizz Beats in 2013? Nike won that battle a long time ago.

Not surprised. Reminds me of when Luda lost his pepsi deal. When they put political pressure on these brands they always fold. Ross tried to play it cool but it just got bigger and bigger and now he's losing paper.

Difference is people went to bat for Luda afterwards, and he still got his full compensation from the sponsorship.

this sentence makes no sense to me for some reason

i think the writer experienced a rape case and was ordered to pay the victim :manny:
or got robbed after the act, and he woke up and "aint even know it" til he went thru a drive thru and had no money. :manny:

who the fukk knows.

He been killing/merking thousands of nikkas lyrically, has sold about 45 million pounds of coke in his music, but when he mentions drugging a woman now its "hold up a second Rick, your outta line buddy". Shows how powerless black folks are. Ross been a piece of shyt for a while and he makes a vague reference to a woman (see how i didn't say it was necessarily a BLACK woman) and the feminist shut his bytch ass down.
