You mean we have to PAY people not to sing c-rap?
Sounds like extortion to me. Book 'em Danno!
This comes from the US - rap is something that is so disgusting it should never have been allowed on US airwaves. Instead, songs about killing cops, raping women, selling drugs, etc. are not only OK, but were at various times at the top of the charts. Even now, while they’re a little tamer, they still glorify the black gansta lifestyle (even if the singer is white).
I remember being in Europe and hearing a teenage ice-cream store employee in a non-English speaking country singing along in a language she didn’t understand words that were roughly “kill the pig (cop).” I asked her (in her language) if she knew what it meant and she said no, she just liked the rhythm.
Mexico has a new TV series about a Mexican drug-gang member’s girlfriend and her trials and tribulations, which are portrayed as sort of normal. Thanks to the US acceptance of the drug and crime culture represented by rap, we can’t say anything about this. It’s all cool.
I’m really disgusted. Calderon had to go and plead on bended knee with Bambi to give more support in the anti-drug effort, but frankly, as long as we continue to be the biggest buyers and the place where that culture is glorified, Mexico and all the other supplier countries will remain the pits that they are now.
