Performance of ‘It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp’ has the word ‘bitches’
LOS ANGELES - There will be no F-word or N-word but the word “bitches” will be heard during the first-ever rap performance at the Academy Awards Sunday.
At the request of the Academy and ABC, which is broadcasting the Oscars show, the authors of best song nominee “It’s Hard Out There for a Pimp” from the film “Hustle & Flow” have substituted less offensive words for the song’s profanity-laced lyrics.
“As long as the Academy approves it, it’s cool,” said rapper Jordan “Juicy J” Houston, a member of Three 6 Mafia, which wrote the song for the film and will be performing it.

The song should win just to make the Academy regret their decision which would forever stick out like a sore thumb.

'It's Hard Out There for a Pimp' is a Best Song nominee? Is this from Scrappleface????

A little late to the party. Southpark said sh*t over 100 times on one show.
