Sharpton’s Campaign Hopes to Clean Up Rap

F%ck sharpton and jesse jackson. We need new black leadership

I so agree, we need new leadership, but that begs the question who, and when will they come forward?

Fvck this n*gga, ol' ho @ss b!tch!

Where was al sharpton when "dolemite" was in theaters? that movie had all those words and more. In fact, many mc's use that movie as inspiration for their records! sharpton is a fraud.

It appears that all four of you who have posted comments (phil, shorty, mr 360, and t-cool) have all missed the boat. You seem to focus on the failings of sharpton and jesse but you lack basic respect for yourselves and our people by providing no valid reason for continuing to use foul language especially language that denigrates us. Seems like you four are part of the problem instead of the solution. Continue your ignorance elsewhere and keep your short-sighted posts to yourselves. Be out with a quickness!

Krs said" they was mad when we called ourselves gods..now they mad cuz we call ourselves N*gg*rs"....if i say i'm a black man..the world thinks i'm angry...and don't forget..that piece of paper referred to us as 3/5 of a man..so i might not even be able to legally say i'm a black man..ya'dig....and that's why we love hip hop..cuz we can say what the F*ck we want...and right now i'm saying F*ck al sharpton...lol.

Well put capcobra. The words are the least of our worries. Even if i dont agree with them the way we live is the most powerful statement we can make. Lets change our way of life. P.s. Until al gets that konk out of his head ill get my leadership elsewhere. He is the epitome of why these people can call us nappy headed ho's cause cats like him aint even proud enough to rock they own natural hair. ---fight---for---us-----!!

Black leadership is really f*cked up today u only see black leaders in contreversial sh*t u never see them all around. Not trying to stop people from selling drugs or improving education for any 'colored' people. U cant compare al sharpton, jesse jackson, or farrakhan to mlk. All leadership in all races are f*cked up...

Conscious black man, eat a d!ck. This is hip hop b!tch, if you don't like go listen to gospel,

Why doesn't al sharpton go really occupy himself in bringing impeachment papers to bush/cheney mafia up in d.c.?... What type of a deal he made with these "elite insiders" that instead of dealing with the real issues he wastes his time handing out bars of soap? why did his presidential campaign in 2000 get financed by roger stone,a republican insider? i think al needs to do a little "washing up" himself with more than soap

Consciousblackman take your suburb ass back to campus. No one wants to admit that there are dumb n*ggas, scandalous Bia'ches and hoes in our community. These people exist and there is a vocabulary for them. Until one of these "leaders" addresses that fact their arguments fall on deaf ears. Sharpton is committing suicide. All those crotchety middle class n*ggas never supported dude until now. They were too busy hiding out in the suburbs with conscious black man. Don't think they will follow his pomaded ass on anything else that might jeapordize the black middle class agenda: smile, make money, move to the suburbs.

Conscious black man, n*gga suck my ho F*ck*n ass d!ck!

Conscious black man said it best. Look at all the n*gg*s that are gettin their pansys ina bunch. Lol. Hood cats are scared to settle beef outside they hood. These clowns know they too scared to come to the burbs all by themselves cuz they might get they @$$e$ handed too them by a cat wit no street cred. Keep hidin behind ya homies and burnners as 2pac said you a sh*t with out ya homeboys

This is pointless. Al sharpton is an ass because, though the music supposedly degrades a whole race, it really doesnt. What this political, self-righteous genius doesnt see is the inspiration for the music... The hood, where promiscuous females are called hos because, essentially, that's what they are... In the proper definition; drug dealers are doing what they must to survive and get high to aleviate the stress of living and/or because there is nothing else to do; and in the areas, there is not much help from outside sources for the people in the community (at least that's how it was for me and what i still see happening in that area)

Im cosignin eli

I bring up "dolemite" to show that the whole inner city mentality has been around long before anyone in the mainstream media ever knew that hip-hop even existed. And yet, hip-hop alone is being made a scapegoat. You are not going to solve any of these problems by killing people's free speech rights. I didn't miss the boat on jack sh*t. It's called reading up on history. If you honestly think that killing the free speech rights of rappers is going to solve all our problems, it's you who missed the boat and playing into the hands of the very people who want to steal your rights away from you. You are not going to solve anything by forcing people to make records based solely on your version of morality (which is what sharpton wants to do.) remember 20 years ago when al gore's wifey created the pmrc in hopes of banning rap. Just like ice t, too short, 2 live crew, and public enemy stood up and fought for their rights, today's rappers are going to have to stand up too.

Sharpton his a hypocrite and he will lose campaign over of some uncle tom bullsh*t that he is today and that faggit is a fake and fraud and for real that what his he is and for that sh*t is fake and try so hard to scam people by doing right thing that he ain't nothing but a scam of scum himself that is byaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhh!

Why we need leaders anyway? use ur brain that god gave u be smart get out the hood make that legal money and help the hood back..we got al ot of ignorant muF*ckaz everywhere...teach em sun!!jus look outside the box ..look outside the states /man they think we are nothing but n*ggaz and hoes and gangstas ..our image as black ppl from america is F*cked up!!time to clean up..all u young cats in here ..think about it !!think about ur future..this is comin from a og been lockdown for 7 years for some stupid sh*t

We say we need a new leader but no one wants to be led. Because everyone wants to be the leader, but no one wants to lead. Gangster rap lost its gangsta when the focus shifted from blasting the opposition to blasting each other. And to that extent, change would be a blessing.

Free speech will win out. Even if you get (rid) of those words, the concept of a hoe, Bia'ch, and n*gga will still be in the lyrics. Really this is an exercise in futility. There is no such thing as bad language, that is such bullsh*t. Human language is a poor enough form of communication, there are damned few words everyone understands and we need all the one's we can get.

Leader? like nas said " why do we need a leader, you dont see other races with a leader". Sometimes i just believe that as black ppl we shouldnt use white ppl as a mesuring stick to whats "normal". Every culture is different...and morals are all gonna be different with different cultures. Basically all im saying is why do we have a problem with it when other races use it, or other races have a problem with it. Its obviously part of our culture. To change that i just believe you have to go deeper than a hip hop. They have problems with a word thats in a "song" that was made by a "black man" that was a "black child" at one time being raised by " black parents". Shyt raise ya kids to make their own road and follow it, not just say and do whats on tellievision, the internet. "attempt" to "teach" them the difference between entertainment and reality. I dont hear white complaining about "jackass" now they have a million of those shows...yadda yadda. Im done.

Rotflmao...whos the leader of the hispanics? asians? lol. Shyt is crazy. Dudes want someone to think for them. That shyt is sad.

I feel that changing the way we live is very important as african-americans, but they do have a point as far as the message being brought forth. If we can change what we allow to go into our ears and enter our minds we can then change they way we think. Once we can change our thought process on how we view things , then we can change our lifestyle. If you have a chld that from day one listens to nothing but popsitive things and the parent surounds that child with nothing but positive things but at the same time teach them wrong by explaining what would happen if they were to do this or that then they can distinguish, but if you feed a child nothing but negative and surround that child with nothing but negativity then that child knows no other way. So i believe that if we can first change the way we listen, learn, and live then we can change the next generation! god bless!!
