Picture of the offending cover:

and murdering 'people of color' for profit.

the advances against racism will take a big blow today....

[A Navy Vet]

Unbelievable!

[MontanaBeth]

This is disgusting...I suppose we'll hear the old "artistic freedom of expression" line.

PARENTAL ADVISORY--EXTREME STUPIDITY INSIDE

[rattrap]

all this says to me is a no talent hack like "paris" who hasn't ever had a hit wants to create some cheap controversy. When an artist has talent they don't need to pull BS like this to get noticed, what a moron.

I recall another rap album cover that had a picture of the World Trade Center Towers on fire. It was supposed to have been released right around 9/11/01. I wonder if it's the same record label

[Semi Civil Servant]

With all the good works the recording industry does, it's no wonder a lot of people don't get all that bothered about music file swapping. Sort of like when a mass murderer on death row doesn't get his orange juice on time.

This was an interesting thread from a couple of months ago

So long as kids of all colors keep buying this (C)Rap music, these miscreants, criminals and degenerates will be millionaires.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[As i mentioned, the B/C & JD! lists are going to float into and out of whack over the forseeable future, while I try to cobble a rig back together for myself. My apologies for any incovenience or misunderstandings in this time frame. New signups/removals may be flaky in this time-frame as well; please bear with me, and keep in mind you may have to FReepmail me more than once for me to get it done. Thanks again!]

Cover art offensiveness and talent are usually inversely proportional.

Rapper Paris Aims to 'Push Political Buttons'...

TRANSLATION: Rapper Paris can't sell his product on it's content's merits.

[BobbyK]

Paris accuses the Bush Administration of helping
orchestrate the terror attacks and murdering 'people
of color' for profit.

Kind of says it all. This goes with the Colt 45 Malt
liquor, and Kool cigarets.

Paris Amis has no talent. This cover will sell a few albums and keep him off the welfare dole. I'd rather he buy the glocks, spliffs, Mickey's Bigmouthes and the posse out of his own pocket rather than mine.

[WaterDragon]

Does this mean that when entertainers do this kind of thing, it HELPS their finances? Is doing this a new kind of publicity stunt? Like in, better to be hated than not noticed?

What kind of pay-off? Must be one in there somewhere. Are we conservatives contributing to the pay-off?

[RightWhale]

Paris accuses the Bush Administration of helping orchestrate the terror attacks

The act is trite, trivial, superficial. No art in the art. Probably won't ever arrive at the level of the skilled extentialist actor George Plimpton, 76, 26 Sep 03.

[rabidralph]

Best for Freepers to ignore him so he doesn't become a racial "martyr."
