I do agree that there are far better socially conscious MC's than Em, but that just depends on what the topic of the verse or song is.
As far as a double standard, I don't think there is one. Pepsi pulled Madonna from their advertisements for the same reason as they are pulling Ludacris. I think it hurts efforts to eradicate TRUE double-standards in our society when we cry foul at EVERYthing.

I agree, for the most part, regarding the double standard. Ludacris is not an actor stating that he is portraying a character or role. Brittany may dress like a HO (I think she deserves to be pulled too), but she supposedly has morals...Ludicris and Madonna both have (for Madonna, had) images that lacked morality, and I think that's what Pepsci is concerned with...Anyway, Coke tastes betterthan Pepsci...and soda is not healthy for people to drink all the time (drink some juice!!)...
As for Eminem, many people claim that he is the best lyricist of all time. Frankly I am tired of hearing this b/c for one he's not. All he talks about is homosexuality and his Momma (how many songs are you going to make about your f'ed up childhood! Go get some therapy! You can afford it now!)...Everything that comes out his mouth is negative...
