N4L, you really took the words right out of my mouth. I am part of today's "hip hop generation", so there is only so much I remember about Soror C. Delores Tuckers' work to combat negative lyrics in Hip Hop.
I will not get into her politics, but I do admire how much she stood up for what she believed in; campaigning for something that is much greater than a few curse words - the respect she believed the Black race was not getting as a result of our place in rap and much more.
Nelson George's Hip Hop America does a good job of discussing Soror Tucker's work.
I pray that she may rest in peace.
