Russell Simmons is calling for the words “bitch,” “ho” and “nigger” to be considered “extreme curse words” and banned from any and all clean-versions of hip-hop tracks.
Expressing concern about the “growing public outrage” over the use of such words in rap lyrics, Simmons said the words “bitch,” “ho” and “nigger” should be considered “extreme curse words.” “We recommend (they’re) always out,” Simmons, the pioneering entrepreneur who made millions of dollars as he helped shape hip-hop culture, said in an interview Monday. “This is a first step. It’s a clear message and a consistency that we want the industry to accept for more corporate social responsibility.”
Interesting.
who buys clean versions? it’s a cute effort though.
hey russell - you’re running late for your yoga class - maybe some 40 year old soccer mom will give a shit about your opinion in there…
