It wasn’t bad enough that people tried to blame rap music for Don Imus being a racist asshole.
Now, Russell Simmons is apparently taking the bait.
Prominent U.S. hip-hop executive Russell Simmons on Monday recommended eliminating the words “bitch,” “ho” and “nigger” from the recording industry, considering them “extreme curse words.”
Here’s a better idea, Russell. Why not start a new independent label that focuses on on more socially conscious content? Seems like that would make more sense than telling other people what they can or can’t say. Especially since you got rich off bitch, ho and nigger.
Ooh! Ooh! Mr. Kotter! Mr. Kotter!
Guess who else doesn’t get to tell people what they can or can’t say (after election day) ???
