I do not see why Oprah should have any hip hop artist on her show. There are plenty of genre's of music, "white" and "black" that she has never had on her show. Frankly, I think any show that she had on hip hop would make all these crtics even more mad. The only show on hip hop that would be at all interesting to me would be one about how it has gone so very wrong. How it was once a thoughtful and articulate expression about the struggle of a people and has disintergrated into nothing more than a battle about how many naked chicks I can get in my video, how many I can lie about sleeping with, how much weight I can allege to have slang and how many people I can allege to have killed or how many creative ways I can describe killing you. Any show she does will have them feeling attacked and on the defensive way more than Luda ever felt during the Crash interview. I have no desire to see any fool dare to DEFEN some of the things said about women in their songs. To me, their is no defense so that would be a waste of breath. All they will do is gurantee those white parents go out of their way to stop thier kids form buying thier music. Wait....that may not be such a bad idea.
Oprah is very aware of her audience. As a 50 year old woman, I do not expect her to do shows on certain topics. This is one of them. She had Kanye on and for her that really is plenty. They are all just looking for some media attention so now they have it.
