I agree...almost

I agree with the fact that since Oprah has worked so hard to come up and make her own show where she does things her way.
I also agree with the fact that she has had rappers on her show before (Ludacris, Kanye, Eve, and a couple others).

What I'm calling to attention is that when she had Ludacris, Eve and Kanye on her show, it was to talk about the movies they were in ("Crash" and "Barbershop") and to talk about up-and-coming talents (concerning Kanye). Never has Oprah has a show strictly about the contents of hip hop songs, which she stabbed at on the show with Ludacris without letting Ludacris address his lyrics (or editing out what he said). In my opinion, since she opened the can of worms (talking about what rappers are saying), shouldn't she close it properly by letting rappers speak for themselves?

By the way, is it not interesting that when she had the cast of "Barbershop" on the show, she failed to invite Ice Cube (according to Cube himself: http://www.vibe.com/news/news_headli.../?source=IDIF), the main character and producer of the movie? What was that about? I know she's not scared to have controversial people on her show. She had Chris Rock on. What's the matter with Ice Cube?
