Man even if you do ban the words, people don't think rappers can come up with more creative phrases and words to replace those. That is like censoring E-40 from say scrilla. Ok so in 5 minutes he comes up with another word or phrase that means the same thing. Maybe for some of these fly by night rappers it would kill they verses, but a real mc is too clever. THAT IS ALL THEY DO IS RAP. This shit is comical.

LMAO true

just like what Chappelle was saying about when white people found out what 'skeet' means

Exactly. LOL! Corporate America act like they got a 1 up on hip hop but real mcs would adapt to that if they had to. Alot of people just want hip hop gone period. They can point out every gangsta or pimp song but no positive points because that does not make money for them at the end of the day. Shit I say have fun with it.
