 |
|
From AllHipHop.com...
*The battle to ban the N-word marked a new chapter Saturday (Aug. 11) as the general president of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity urged members of Alpha fraternities on college campuses to not hire DJs who use the controversial word. "We want to go on record and tell our college brethren not to use DJs or play music that contains lyrics that are offensive, demeaning or degrading," said Darryl R. Matthews Sr., while addressing 3,000 Alpha Phi Alpha members at the organization's annual convention in Orlando. Matthews also spoke out against the influence of "gangsta rap" earlier this year as he labeled the music genre as "a bomb that is blowing up our children and neighborhoods." Alpha Phi Alpha is the nation's oldest and largest black fraternity.*
Now is it just me or is this a losing battle? I got into rap back when N.W.A was about.I remember sneeking out of school on a Friday afternoon to go into town and straight to the Virgin Megastore and buy Straight Outta Compton,excellent album that 
How the hell are people going to get the N word taken out of Hip Hop when its been there since day one of Gangsta Rap

i dont understand it to be honest. The N word is used as slang these days amongst almost everyone n hardly causes offence. unless used as a obvious racist remark. but in Rap and that, its used as another everyday word in their vocabulary.
you hear it in almost all Rap styles like, and you hardly notice its there cos its used that muchm so what would be the point of removing it if no-one hardly notices it....

More importantly how stupid is it to ban dj's that play music with bad language in it
If its an under 18's night then fair enough

yeah, thts a good way to look at it... but theres still no need for it to be removed like most people dont even notice it in tracks to begin with.
