Black America Web: Many in Rap Circles Dismiss Imus ‘Double Standard’ Outrage, But Say It’s Time for Change
Excerpt:
"America is taking a deeper look at the misogyny and bitter language of rap lyrics in response to last week's firing of radio talk-show host Don Imus for calling the Rutgers University's female basketball players as "nappy-headed hos." Now the debate is focusing on hip-hop music and the genre's controversial use of profane language as a lucrative yet destructive cultural force. Critics have singled out performers such as Snoop Dogg, Ludacris and 50 Cent, who they say have built lucrative careers based, in part, on calling black women "bitches" and "hos," fueling the public discussion on what's been a private, long-debated issue in the black community."
