This is especially true since there's such a negative outcry when it's used. Why keep trying? Why worry about it? Why all of a sudden is white America so concerned with the language that blacks use toward each other? I'm not buying the double standard crap. White people don't use that kind of language for any positive reason. Who are we really kidding here?

It is called going main stream.
I do not like, enjoy, or think very highly of the anti-women, the anti-cop, the anti-law, the pro-drug messages et al I see and hear in many of todays music. And who is making these songs?????
And I am NOT talking per se about the music companies.
And where is the "good" Rev on this issue? Hummm.....
