One day after a memorial service for the 33-year-old rap star and community activist who was killed in a shooting in that same part of South L.A., Fox News host Laura Ingraham zeroed in on that song to offer her own laughter-filled analysis of his legacy last week.

I'm sure Nipsey was a real humanitarian. Another crack dealer bites the dust. Huge loss to society

he was such a humanitarian, he stole another black man’s name.

Nipsey Russell was a legend. Dipsey Hussle wasn’t.

I’m sure Fox News is panicking that Laura upset so many members of the network’s core audience in the rap/hip-hop community. LOL.

When a song uses foul language to describe your president, that’s mockable.

Snoop Dogg is a total fraud. If he were a real hip-hop rapper he would have been dead a long time ago. Tupac was the real deal. Snoop Dogg is a p*ssy.

Message to Snoop Dogg: If you talk the talk you've got to walk the walk.

Amen to that. It’s pleasant to recall that Nipsey Russell enjoyed a full life of 87 years and brought laughter to millions.

The main problem with rap is, too many rappers are still alive.

You have a valid point...if you went to the 100,000 rap/hip-hop community members, there might be six of them who watched Shep’s show occasionally.

But the other side of this is true too....99.9 percent of the Fox audience had never heard of this Nipsey-character until his death was announced.

Yes, we should always do whatever rappers tell us to do, no matter what.

How low can we go as a nation? It has been a short 399 years since the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock. Think about it.

This old man says when the interest paid on the national debt exceeds the GNP, the tipping point will be reached.

Now, Snoop Dogg, T.I., The Game and other notable hip-hop and R&B artists are calling on Fox to fire Ingraham for her “disrespect” of the slain rapper.

They should also threaten to boycott Fox!

Oh, no! Fox is going to lose all of those faithful viewers!

Regarding the accusation that she "disrespected" Hussle, she should issue a statement, explaining, "Well, I didn't respect him!"

Regards,

I always love it when people who work in the media of free speech and free expression demand that it be limited.
