sorry tonio? i dont quite catch your angle..

record labels are scared of promoting gang violence, (rightly so)
they're scared of another ice-t "cop killer" scandal, (i see what as a free speech issue)
they're scared of another 2pac+biggie...

I'm not saying it's wrong. I'm saying it's pathetic. Cause the same guys who made 2pac (Interscope) are now scared of promoting violence? First single/video of Pac "Trapped" (where he kills a cop!!!) and you talking about being scared of promoting gang violence? THEY'VE MADE GANGSTA RAP DAMN!! Now it's pathetic if they act like priests! Feel me? (again: i'm not saying it's wrong). You are telling me they scared to promote Tha Game just cause he's from the streets? C'mon, that's pathetic!!! Pls tell me the difference between 50 Cent and Tha Game. Thanx. And the difference between Tha Game's gangsta lyrics and Eminem buring his mother all over MTV (with kids watching it). Thanx. And no, i dont hate on Eminem & 50 Cent. They do their things.

I don't think record companies are scared of promoting violence...most of em realize that a lot of artists have blown off from negative publicity and all.
