Yes, we clearly must censor hip hop. Look at the pernicious effect it has had on impressionable 60+ year old white radio personalities.Won't SOMEBODY think of the 60+ year old white radio personalities???

Does that mean "nigga" is still ok? Cause if it isn't, rap will suck. Seriously, what other word can you rhyme with "figga"? Or "jigga"?

Censorship of music? That doesn't sound like a good idea. It's like this: music is art. So let the artist say what he must as he would like to say it. This doesn't mean that I will always agree or support that artist. It's kind of my stance on the likes of Eminem. I think the guy is terribly talented and loved his music for some time, but at some point, you have to think of the message. Is that what you really want to be listening to- rages of violence and homophobia? Not me; so I listen to different things that I can get with. Let's just be discerning listeners. And if you're talking about your child, don't let them listen to crap.
