“First of all, we ain’t no old-ass white men that sit up on MSNBC going hard on black girls. We are rappers that have these songs coming from our minds and our souls that are relevant to what we feel. I will not let them [expletive] say we in the same league with them. . . . [Rappers] are not talking about no collegiate basketball girls who have made it to the next level in education and sports. We’re talking about ho’s that’s in the ‘hood that ain’t doing [expletive], that’s trying to get a [expletive] for his money. These are two separate things.”

I wonder who does Snoop's PR. Can you imagine anyone advising a client to respond in this way?

Word on the street is that all the nappy-headed hos are furious about being compared to Rutgers basketball players.

Despite the sexism and racism, I'm a fan of rap music and of Snoop - he's a remarkable talent. But this statement is nonsense. He's right, he isn't in the same league as Imus, because rappers like Snoop have done far more to make derogatory terms for women like "ho" and "bitch" acceptable to the popular culture than Imus ever could have. No one in the rap community has any business opening their mouths about Imus.

You said — “I wonder who does Snoop’s PR. Can you imagine anyone advising a client to respond in this way?”

Well, there’s a lot of double-standard, here with Imus. The fact that these rappers can say and “rap” on stuff that is 100 times worse than Imus and probably make more money than him and also never have the Sharptons and the Jacksons on their case, says a lot.

Also, there’s a lot to be said about the really sad state of our youth, those 13-18 years olds (and also the older ones, into college and out into the workforce).

See this other post that I did...

Well, for post #52, I’ll give the *reference* to those lyrics that are 100 times worse than the three or four words of Imus, talking about those nappy headed hoes...

Here’s the link that this came from, you can see for yourself... These are really 100 times worse than anything Imus ever did...

And also, I stated in another thread the following —

Now, this is the kind of stuff that you’ll find the 13-18 year olds listening to, and that’s why our culture has changed so drastically (for that age group), among many other reasons why that’s so...

There was a discussion about these things in regards to Girls Gone Wild owner and his troubles with the law. Many were blaming him, however, the stuff that is going on (out there) with our 13-18 year old group (and afterwards in college) is coming from *that generation* and not from the guys making Girls Gone Wild.

How much listening to this kind of stuff before the entire generation just goes off and does exactly what these songs are saying. Oh..., wait a minute — they’re already doing it...

See some of these other FReeper threads...

And so the story goes with our younger generation...

.

Now, I wonder, considering that Obama was seen to be chummy with Ludicris (in a picture that someone posted), if the Democrats (or at least one leading Democrat) are for this kind of language — really (despite what they did about Imus).

And — then — if SoS Rice can comment about what Imus said — like she did — why on earth couldn’t she say about *100 times more* about what’s going on with Ludicris and how the Sharptons and the Jacksons are apparently “just fine” with it. They apparently don’t care as long as it’s a “black boy” saying it. But, you better not be a white boy...

“I wonder who does Snoop’s PR. Can you imagine anyone advising a client to respond in this way?”

Yes. Because people are going to say, “well that’s Snoop and he is a brother.”

Can you imagine anyone advising a client to respond in this way?

They probably told him something sane to say, but he was high at the time and didn't retain it...
