Why didn’t Dipset get blacklisted for shouting out the Taliban?:patrice:

I’m the realest thing popping since Osama bin Laden, so pay homage
I ain’t mad that the Towers fell. I’m mad the coke price went up, and this crack won’t sell.

I remember they changed the lyric to this

i worship the late great muhammad atta for his courage behind the wheel of the plane Reminds me when I was dealin' the 'caine

Why was this banned?

The anti-war youth movements of Vietnam were helped a lot by music. The same people who drafted up post-9/11 games would have remembered and wanted to cut off that possibility this time around. They're out of touch with the tech but the principle holds: don't let young white people get together with other young people of whatever ethnicity and cause problems for the machine.


Some of the picks on that list seem personal as well. Who the heck wants to ban the Chi-Lites?
