Where have people been that they haven't heard rappers criticized?
Rappers have been criticized for their lyrics for over a decade. People can't make an argument like that if they've been living under a rock.
More than that, artists can say whatever they want on an album as long as they have parental advisory labels. But our airwaves are even more closely monitored for content, which is why "hoes" and other negative words are often censored. Imus' show didn't receive that same censoring because it is a live show (most of the time) so there was no way to do the quality control thing. Imus would've been his own quality controller if he wasn't trying to be so controversial.
