The Pot Calling the Kettle...
Here's a quote I read on BBC referring to a recent Eminen video, "Black Entertainment Television (BET) president Robert Johnson said he felt it was inappropriate to disparage a celebrity [Michael Jackson]."
I take it that it's OK to disparage women and others however. Have you ever listened to some of the rap that is played? Ho's and bitches and cappin' cops?? I guess that's OK, while making fun of Michael Jackson {snicker} isn't? Here's somebody who acknowledges sleeping with little kids saying it's natural. Here's somebody whose own mother wouldn't recognize from his childhood pictures, yet denies having had plastic surgery. Someone who dangles "his" kid off the side of a hotel and doesn't see a problem. Who lives in never-never land of all places.
Please, if you don't see any problem in calling any women a whore, don't get all sanctimonious about an Eminen video making fun of Michael "want some candy little boy" Jackson. By the way, I will admit that this rant is based mostly on hearsay, since I don't and won't listen to rap. However I have looked at some of the lyrics from rap songs, and let me just say, based on a very small sample (Mos Def, Ja Rule, Jay-Z {names from the current bet.com music page}), Mr. Johnson has a lot of nerve complaining about disparaging anyone, especially celebrities.
