Hip Hop-crisy

Since I'm in a cranky mood anyway, I'll just quote a noted scholar on why his sort of misogynistic message is perfectly acceptable while that of the now-duly-deposed Imus's must be censored at all costs:

It's a completely different scenario. [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 hos that's in the 'hood that ain't doing shit, that's trying to get a nigga for his money. These are two separate things. 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 muthafuckas say we in the same league as him.

Thanks, Snoop Dogg. That sure cleared it up for me. Glad to see your millions of ill-gotten riches have improved your diction, too.

Nothing like a drug-dealing-gang-banger to lecture me on morality.

Thank God that Snoop has clarified that for us. I was really worried that double-standards were in operation but he's really put my mind at ease.
