It is funny to me when people talk about airing our dirty laundry... when we do it everyday in our own music..whether we're singing it or buying the records. WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE???? Folks get all upset over silly incidences like "Blackface" at a college party...or Senator Trent Lott's comments....but when rappers in our own community do something like this..we cry freedom of speech AND dance to it when it comes on the radio!!! Now that's Butt Booty Backwards LOL

YES!!!
Now, to be honest, I'm guilty of listening to songs with a good beat that have bad lyrics, but once I really listen to the song, I don't like it anymore. Now if I'd have heard this, it would have turned my stomach and I would have turned the dial.
Now, it wouldn't be freedom of speech if a white group made an album talking about how they don't like black people, or some other type of thing that went against us, like our own people's music. There'd be an uprising. It seems like Black folks want to be respected by the outside, but don't care about their own communities. That's not gonna fly. That's why folks were mad at Bill Cosby for tellin the truth.
