Oprah. Hip-Hop’s Friend or Foe? Article by: Nikki Drag Like any other American Oprah Winfrey has the right to choose. She can choose where she wants to live, what charity she wants to give to and whom she picks to appear on her show. Oprah recently spoke to MTV and said, "I don't want to be marginalized by music or any form of art. ... I feel rap is a form of expression, as is jazz. I'm not opposed to rap. I'm opposed to being marginalized as a woman." Can you blame her? When you think of Oprah do you think of her “Booty, booty, booty, rocking everywhere, or do you think of successful business woman with an intellectual spirit. You can’t ignore the recent hype surrounded by the media queen. Ludacris voiced his discontentment about his appearance on her show while promoting the Academy Award winning film Crash. Ice Cube joined the bandwagon when interviewed by FHM magazine, saying he was involved with three different projects pitched to Ms. Winfrey and he wasn’t chosen for any of them. Cube is also ticked off that Oprah asked Cedric the Entertainer and Eve on to the show to promote Barbershop, but declined to ask him. In the interview he goes on to say, “Maybe she’s got a problem with hip-hop…She’s had damn racists, child molestors and lying authors on her show. And if I’m not a rags to riches story for her, who is?” Upon reading and skimming through countless articles and interviews with protesting rappers and the media mogul, I have to say that if I am looking to be entertained whether by interview or performance of a hip-hop artist, I probably will not opt to turn on the suppertime self-help talk show. I will flip on the music video channel, BET, MTV2, or even the too late talk shows, which actually have some intriguing performances of new underground artists. Oprah’s show, website, and magazine promote self-fulfillment, an overcoming of adversity, creativity, inner-spiritual growth, and of course reading with that damn book club! Although some might be on individual mission of a harmonious existence, most hip-hop heads aren’t hungry for rhetoric on incredible weight loss stories or discussing the lives of hoarders. 50 cent, you gotta love him. He reveals in his gangster image. In response to Oprah’s exclusion of rappers on her show he said he, “couldn’t care less about Oprah or her show and “I am actually better off having friction with her.” Let’s look at other talk shows. Remember back in the late 1980’s early 1990’s when we had the Arsenio Hall show? He excited us every night with hip-hop and R&B acts from Big Daddy Kane to TROOP. He knew his demographic and his viewers knew what to expect. Back then you didn’t witness bad press because Hall didn’t promote Madonna’s new album or show clips of Harrison Ford’s feature film. The audience knew what to expect either tuned in with their late night snack or flipped to the aged King of late night, Johnny Carson. Nowadays TV producers are savvy with talk shows pertaining to the theme of their network. While Oprah is still on top of the food chain, it is unreasonable to assume that any one show will appeal to every demographic, except maybe the Simpsons. Is she a sell-out, has she turned her back on the very soil that supplied her plight? Oprah is a self-made empress that has not only money, but also power. Just because she is an African-American woman, does that mean that she has to promote a brand or commodity she doesn’t have any personal interest in? Yes her show is a platform for awareness, but it’s her platform. Does she owe it all the brother’s out there who are making some money and encountered success in music a segment to tell their story? No. Does she owe the public an opportunity to include dialogue about hip-hop; its future, culture and longevity? I would say yes. Especially when the music is universal and endured through three generations. Maybe Oprah would think differently if she were a parent of teenagers that constantly bumped beats or watched a close family member struggle to get out the ghetto, with their only hope being through rhyming. Maybe one day Oprah will ask educated, do good hip-hoppers on the show. Or artists like Nas, Talib Kweli, or the Roots who spit knowledge without all the gangster-isms. Until that happens, expect to see guests that are hooked on plastic surgery or red carpet makeovers. Because isn’t that what’s really buzzing in the hip-hop community?

Word, arsenio hall. Now that was a dope show back in the days. Funney as hell and full of crazy muthaf*ckaz. Rappers and everybody would just come on their to clown and have fun. The sh*t was dope.

But you see the big difference is arsenio hall came on late at night and oprah comes on in the day-time. That's cause more adults or mature people will be up watching that sh*t at night. Know what i'm sayin'. That just about says it all right there.

Okay, i have my beef with rappers beefing against oprah. First of all, oprah is not the enemy. Oprah's in a powerful position in the world and on her show, period. While i agree with the fact that hip-hop is overtly misogynistic at times, why doesn't she have rappers on her show to prove that it isn't all about that? second, why are all of these rappers going against oprah, who said she really didn't have a problem with hip-hop, instead of F*ck*ng with the true enemies of this sh*t like tony snow and bill o'reilly who have openly shared their disgust with hip-hop/black people in the open? i'll have to give props to cam'ron and dame dash for sonning o'reilly on his own show. It's sad that the majority of these rappers would rather attack a black woman out it the open for the pleasure of white america, than attack the true enemies of hip-hop.

Triumph you are right on! i like what 50 said who cares what oprah thinks! thats here right to have on who she wants on her show.....why not attack the real enemies of hip like the bill o'reilys etc???????? they are really openly attacking something they can never understand...........

Oprah is oprah. She has alot of f*cking money and she's sick of people telling her how to run her sh*t. I have personally met oprah and she is a nice woman. She is first and foremost a woman though and she stands for women things. Just because hip hopping men don't like how she acts, then f*ck them. It's her show, her money, and her time. If she thinks it's a waste of her time to talk to ice cube, then that's her decision. I don't really want to talk to men that refer to women as hoes and tricks either. Once again though, it's turned into a color thing. Always that. It's not possible that women get offended at being labeled hoes or anything, it definitely has to be skin color(notice the sarcasm dripping here). You blind fools. Stop being so concerned about skin color and pay attention to the real f*cking issues at hand. Namely, how women are referred to and treated in the hip hop community. Money doesn't equal respect, but it does equal power and once you have power then you get all these whiny little Bia'ches crying all the time. Ice cube crying about not being on oprah's show? come on now, i though he was gangster lol. And personally i think 50 will claim beef with anyone to try and sell one more record.

Oprah is not a good thing for hip hop. Alot of her views are very conservative... Hip hop culture is not one for conservatism. But ..i would love to hit those chocolate tights and suck on those hugh bitties.. Lol

I finally have to say something about this. I love hip hop music. I play it in my ride. I play it when i work out. Let's face it though, hip hop and how it is represented/how blacks represent it on a large scale, is not positive. How many times are hip hop artists going to say "well, i'm just representing where i'm from." are all our neighborhoods really that F*cked up that 9 out of the 10 rap acts just talk about rims, hustling, and treating woment like sh*t? don't believe me? name some of the top artists out now: rick ross, t.i., the game, young jeezy, 50 cent. They're all talking about the same thing! i had to go on youtube the other day to download some of the classics because everyone is talking about the same thing. Mainstream hip hop makes black men in particular sound like brainless, sex hungry, drug dealing thugs who just care about getting their grind on. Oh and look at this site: half the tracks that pop up every week are diss tracks. I have several reasons to defend oprah. #1. What do rappers want to go on oprah for? hip hop's demographics are males ages 15-25 while oprahs is women 35-60. Does this not make sense to anyone? i'm 28. I don't watch oprah but i also don't play young jeezy's album when my son is in the car with me. #2 oprahs show is about empowering women. I don't believe ice cube, luda, and killer mike have dropped any singles giving respect to women lately. #3 oprah has invited rappers on her show. Eve, kanye west, and will smith (yes he was a rapper before he was an ac

Let oprah do oprah. People r acting like oprah is the 1st person 2 ever say they don't really like hip-hop/rap music. She's not. I don't have a problem w/ her pickin & choosin who 2 b on her show. It's her show, she can do wuteva the hell she pleases. What i don't understand is how people (black, white, yellow and purple) r blinded 2 the fact that it is not just black hip-hop artists that use profanity or act unprofessionally (for lack of a better word). Remember when luda wuz fired 4rm pepsi & replaced by the osbournes & brittney spears? come on now, pepsi. Wut the hell were y'all thinking? u cannot tell me that sum1 would stop buying pepsi just bcuz sum1 they don't like, be it luda or brittney or whoever, is promoting it. The taste of a drink is not dependent on the person in its commercial. Ask bill o'reilly or oprah if they drank pepsi b4 luda? then ask them if they drank it when luda was on the commercial. I promise you, if they drank pepsi b4, a luda commercial would not stop them from drinking pepsi again. That's f*ck!n retarded...oh but wait, i do believe that oprah was wrong to #1 not invite luda along with the rest of the "crash" cast, and #2 put him on blast on her show and bringing up his music, when he came as an actor to talk about the movie, not as a rapper to talk about his music. She may not like the music, but who gives a f*ck? it was not about his music. He was in the f*cking movie!!! ...and not the only one using profanity might i add. But that's a whole 'nother story.

Oprah can do what she wants, ma is a self made "black" billionaire. How gangsta can you get? i truly respect that woman, she came a long way on her own two feet. I cant see myself hatin on a high class "black" woman with a honarable title. Why should her respect have to be won over by her people by just showin she respect rappers? people of the opposite complection of our hands and feet respect oprah more becasue most fear her, (some) black people do not respect oprah because 2 options (envy or they misconcieve her.)

Posted by MsCadiGirl

I agree with 50, and i giv congrats to ice cube 4 having the balls to take on oprah. Her bias is obvious, and as far as the booty comment above, ice cubes tracks are nothing like that, and that just proves narrow mindedness in the media. Lets face it, the only talk show worth watching is conan o'brien, he has no bias to anybody. On his show he has featured people like 50 cent, nelly, ll cool j and queen latifah just to name a few. He doesn't need to bribe his audience with cars and gifts like oprah, he is just funny and isn't afraid of talking about the real.

Also downassmami, if u wanna make it about sex, women call men all kinds of thingz, they just dont do it to a beat, they put it in a movie, magazine and talk about it to eachother. Also oprah put eve on who is a "female" rapper but not ice cube. Eve talks about the same things as cube, she's even called some woman b!tches and wateva. Differance is that there is a double standard, women can say what they like and oprah will defend them, but if a man do it, she only defends them if they dont say anything against women. On her show, she features all these "evil" men doing things and never shows "evil" women. Also her show is directed at women, so she obviously aint gonna support anything we like. But how often do u see a show directed at men on public tv?

Posted by silentc

If oprah supposedly has a responsibility to showcase rappers or allow rappers to use her show as a platform to tell their come-up. "from rags to riches" stories, don't these rappers owe its listeners the opportunity to show that blacks aren't all money, drugs, and sex hungry n*ggas? no one is imposing a responsibility on 50 cent to change his gangsta-rap style to conform to middle class suburban blacks that have never been exposed to that, because that's not his style. Conversely, it may not be oprah's style to make herself out to be someone that supports that kind of music. You want a talk show that gives rappers a stage to talk on, make your own show. You hypocrits acknowledge that's its oprah's show, blah, blah, blah...... Well, thats the freakin point. Its her show. She can do whatever she wants with it, so if you acknowledge that, dont turn yourself into a hyprocrit in the same sentence and say "oh, but she still has a responsibility to these rappers."

Black people aint been oprahs target audience since what the mid 90's? its all about the money at the end of the day and i dont knock her for that. But i think she is a complete hypocrite for inviting eve and not ice cube if they were talking about barbershop....its actually his baby. She can do whatever show she wish...but i think to be fair if shes going to talk about rappers in a negative light invite them on to actually debate you and talk about it for a change dont run from the deabte oprah. It sounds to me like shes saying one thing about rappers being okay with them, and not allowing them to come on her show and defend themselves when she expresses her opinions about many of the lyrics. Silentc you make a good point. Women aint perfect neither are men the more we realize that the better of we'd be. Men are Bia'ches women are Bia'ches. Both can be full of it at all times. But if youre a man and you come out and say this how chauvanistic you are...eventhough thats the 3rd meaning of the word.

Whether she likes hip-hop or not oprah is one of the most important people in the world umm, i can understand why she wouldn't like mainstream hip-hop and rap, because its mostly womanizing. However, im sure she'd enjoy some underground, perhaps del tha funky homosapien, or hieroglyphics???

Posted by InspectahJekyll

Makes no difference. Women will primarily side with oprah, being that most women don't listen to hip-hop, they listen to r&b (how hypocritical) and men primarily are the hip-hop fans. Funny thing is though, is that females account for 70% of record sales.. Hmm... Moving on. Oprah, as a black woman, has done very well for herself. She's her own rags to riches story. However, if you are a black woman, that has gone through the struggle, than you are by law of responsibility indebted to your people for making you what you are. That means you cannot only play for the white people, ms. Winfrey, you have to play for us. We all know you haven't been black in over a decade, but at least pretend to be! is that so difficult? how could you have the cast of the show black and white on, but not the creator and executive producer- ice cube?... If that isn't a bias, i do not know what to classify one as.

Posted by Fullmetal

This is why the black community will never amount to anything. We all put down, successful brothers & sisters. Because, oprah isnt ghetto like half of you dumb ass, dont knock her. Pick up a book, go to school, do something productive. Because she doesnt promotes music (and i do like hip hop) 99% of the time, only glorifies, pimping and gang banging and slapping Bia'ches. Come on now... Is that what makes someone black. Trying listening to marvin e, frankie beverly, brian mcknight, babyface, luther, kirk franklin. Mix up your taste in music. Thats whats makes you a well round black person. Not by how ghetto you can be or how far down you sag your pants of your ass. Shit you wanna rap, sip some lyrcis that talk about going to school, getting ecducation, being good parents. Something positive. So just because someone tries to better themselves, dont hate, cause you didnt have the talent and mind set to do so. Hip hop doesnt make you black.

I didnt have a problem with oprah until i really started watching her show. Yea i give her props cause she came up or whateva. Yea she dont have to like rap or put any rappers on her show i dont give a damn. But if you not a famous black man so called respectful she will put yo ass down, drag yo name and what you do thru the dirt, she talk bad about down low black men, and then hip hop. Hip hop is not the only music they talk bad about women, rag about they cars clothes etc.......the list can go on all day. Shit if you really listen to rock, country, whateva they b saying some crazy sh*t. Old school music talk bout dirty sh*t to they just said it different, marvin e, and rip rick james,as long as black people are doing hip hop, its always gonna b a bad thing. We are so called violent in everything we do, we get a bad rap for everything and i dont give damn if anyone didn’t like what i just said.

Oprah is entitled to have whoever the hell she wants on her show. She does a lot for the black community and will continue to do so. She is human too. She doesn't have to support rap if she doesn't want to. How come it's not a big deal when no one else invites rappers on their show...how bout they cry a river, build a bridge, and get over it!...just keep making ur money and do u and stop worrying about oprah. Obviously she didnt help u get to the top so u don't need her to keep maintaining...

"maybe oprah would think differently if she were a parent of teenagers that constantly bumped beats or watched a close family member struggle to get out the ghetto, with their only hope being through rhyming. " is this author serious? do they have any idea what oprah has had to endure? please, do your research on ms. Winfrey's childhood. She's struggled in ways that these fake thugs out here could only dream about. Did she shake her behind out on the street, or end up with 3 different baby daddy's? no. She created a media empire. I am so happy that she did not retreat to the shallow and superficial world that is hip hop. Good for her!

Posted by bbct

First off, i'd like to say, that i have nothing against oprah or her "empire".....she is an inspiration to thousands and a mouth piece for millions.....but i do have something against those who treat her opinions and deeds as the work and word of god....for oprah and her minions to think and say that there's nothing positive or substantial being said by hip hop artists.....they are being exactly what "tk" just posted about hip hop....."shallow"....if oprah and her followers put more thought into the matter.....and actually did some form of research....like reading something other than what oprah deems worthy.....you might find out that rap and hip hop music have been around for more than 30 years now......there were more topics and styles being expressed by hip hop artists than what oprah and her fans would like to allow themselves to believe

Posted by biggestdee

There once was a very wide array of styles and subjects.....if you wanted to party and be care-free....you could choose from digital underground or mc hammer.....if you wanted to hear something more conscious and socially relevant or "substantial"......there was afrika bambaata, public enemy, boogie down productions, x clan and many more artists and groups that spoke of justice, upliftment, and an over all desire for the black community to better themselves in every facet....gangs once were looked down upon in rap music.....so was the drug game.....remember when "crack is wack" was spray painted in graffiti in almost every rap video? black women....if not all women....were once referred to as queens and goddesses in our music.......but i guess oprah and her "followers" don't remember that......nor do they want to

Posted by biggestdee

Then you had what is now being termed "gangsta" rap.....you had groups and artists ranging from kool g rap on the east coast to ice t on the west.....but here's what oprah and anybody else too close minded to pay attention and acknowledge reality as it applies to us common folk....g rap and ice t gave you the glitz and glam of the street life or a life of crime....the "up side"...but they also gave you the "down side".....they often left you with a message by the end of a song.....drugs kill....the people that deal drugs kill each other......and if you do what i'm rappin about then there's a good chance you too could get killed or spend the rest of your life in jail with all the heart ache and turbulence that imprisonment brings.....and as far as disrespect for women.....the Bia'ches, "hoes", and hookers that rappers spoke of back then....really were hookers and hoes......ice t and kool g rap are former pimps and drug dealers....and once again....their verses contained disclaimers...."if you don't wanna be a hoe or if you don't wanna be treated like a hoe.....don't "marginalize" yourself by putting a material or financial value on yourself and the people you choose or pursue to associate with"...it might be in rhyme form and there may be broken english......but the messages were clear and to the point....."just say no" and "don't be a hoe"

Posted by biggestdee

Then came nwa and one of it's founding members eric "eazy e" wright.......their brand of "gangsta" rap didn't come with a blatant disclaimer saying that what they rapped about could get you hurt and/or ruin your life......they talked about the money, power, and sex that you get from hookers and hoes when your rich and powerful.....there was a market for it.....meaning people actually spent money on records that weren't or couldn't be played on the radio because they were deemed too "offensive" to the general public.....but the black kids loved it.....some of them loved it to the point they that they forgot or dismissed the idea that there was a "down side" to street life....there were other influences that caused alot of black youths to feel that way in the late 80's to the early 90's.....a decline in america's economy (unemployment, globalization of the world market ie. Outsourcing jobs and capital), the decline of the american public school systems and after school/tutoring programs.....just to name a few.....the lack of education and opportunity, coupled with the anxieties of being poor or struggling in america.....add those frustrations and anxities to a beat, a rhyme, and a "don't care" attitude.....and you got nwa......but more importantly.....eazy e

Posted by biggestdee

I say eazy was more important than the entire group that was nwa...because i seem to be the only one to remember from past black publications like ebony and jet....not to mention all the old hip hop teen mags.....that eazy e was the first if not only hip hop artist to be invited to and have dinner with a united states president...(obviously the game remembers....he said it in a couple of songs).......eazy was invited by the first george bush....the same george hw bush that was head of the cia during the "contras scandal" where they were "allegedly" selling cocaine through la and other cities in america to fund wars in other countries....call me a nutcase if you want....but i don't think there's much coincedence between the presidential dinner that eazy e attended......and the sharp rise in "gangsta" rap production

I have mad love for oprah because of where she came from and how she turned her life around after her baby died when she was 14 . I have been an oprah fan for five years and i am a black woman,i love what she stands for because i stand right along with her. She knows who she is and she always wants men and women to know who they are whwn they leave school or when they get married .

It's not the fact that oprah likes or dislikes rap, but she's a complete hypocrite. She'll have kanye west on her show and claim to like jay-z, but she chewed ludacris because he says words like b**** in his music and "marginalizes" women even though he was on the show for his role in crash. Don't kanye west and jay-z use the same word to push records? and she didn't have ice cube on her show when she interviewed the cast of barbershop. Are you kidding me? ice cube is the movie barbershop!! all i'm saying is, if you don't want to have someone on your sho, so be it, but think of a more convincing reason why you don;t want them on, and try not to contradict yourself...

From what iv'e read a few times ice cube was a middle class kid who hung around with poorer kids in l.a ..hardly "rags to riches" son!!. Also ice t was on oprah in 1989 with nelson george.not defending her just point out a few facts.i lost total respect for ice cube when he did those beer ads,knowing full well that alcoholism was a major problem in the inner cities.yeah he gave some to charity,but only because chuck d shamed him into it,and the excuses he gave were just f*cking lame.mabye oprah thinks that ice cube is an opportunistic money grabbing fraud - who happens to have rhyme skills- cos i do, she is a helluv lot smarter than me!!

Anyone who does'nt understand that rappers don't like oprah going how she does must recognise that as long as we stand against each other blacks will never get where we want. If someone said every stand oprah ever took was too contravercial, where would she be now? if you don't like hearing about Bia'ches and ho's, stop your daughters from growing into them. It's their fault not the dude who calls them on their actions. Rappers speak hard realities for the most part. Blocking out the hard truth telling rappers is exactly how we opend up so much room for these suckers lying about streetlife now.

Posted by Grym Slim

Freeway ricky ross is still doing george bush's time today and no one speaks on it. Not oprah who supposedly stands for truth and justice especially for blacks. Rick ross the rapper says he's representing for freeway rick but he never even says anything that real. We need to realise that we are being the scapegoats for alot of other peoples crimes and wrongdoings. Real rappers like 2pac, ice cube, scarface and others tell you the whole story and get silenced because the powers that be don't want the truth told. They run their game so we rat on our brothers who are trying to help us and never even realise it untill were the ones in the cage. Niggas that are scared of revolution or too trusting of the enemy do our people no justice. Infact they and their self righteous attitudes set us up for the kill constantly. Oprah is a sellout. She shows me that she is blind enough to help the enemy silence my people while she calls herself a leader and a role model. No role model would lead people blindly into a trap. An she should know better anyway since she got her n*gga wake up call in that store in europe.
