Imus Still in Hot Water

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.

Now, I wonder why rappers have problems?

Is it because they are racist with their songs, is it becaus they s**k, or because they seem to get into more troubles having guns and beating up people or shooting them?

Why, because they are role models, or have money now and cannot handle it?

Bling, Bling, Big fancy cars and homes? Are they still thugs?
