Title: Purple Hills Banned from MTV!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: infinite59 on June 24, 2001, 05:52:35 AM: This came from Leviation Demented on another message board.

Thats why we havent seen it.I saw it on SOHH,they banned Purple Hills.Not thatI really care,I just think its funny how MTV will show us black folks with Bentleys,half naked women,and guns,but they ban some watered down shit like Purple Hills because all the little suburbanites might get a hold of it.Something good can come of this,id really like to see MTV catch a diss or two on the next album.

it hasnt been banned here in the UK yet, i dont see why it should be. apart from the terrible song the video is no more offensive than anything by N stync

Post by: Don Seer on June 24, 2001, 09:08:11 AM: i think its more likely that the song is a description of taking mushrooms and other shit

Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on June 24, 2001, 09:42:23 AM: Yea...But the edited evrsion is about "Climbing Purple Hills"....How bad can that be?

"I've climbed the highest moutains

Right there explains everything. Normally I wouldn't care but here is another step America is taking to try to censorship hip-hop. The gays and the PTC probably forced MTV to take the video off.

I never saw any wrong with walking toilets, dancing dwarfs and people climbing hills anyways.

Post by: Don Seer on June 24, 2001, 10:36:59 AM: ok if I had to I'd cite the following as being reasons for its banning (dont forget i dont agree.. its just what 'they' -'the man' or whatever may see)

eminem says he gets a vibe from running 5 out of 6 people over

proof "snort two line that are filled with chalk"

plus they mention being high *a lot*

wonder if the ban counts for here.. coz we've had waaaaaay dodgier suggestive stuff... like 'trip to trumpton' and other dodgy shit

Yo, They don't really care about it being banned, more people will just buy it now to see what it got banned for, just like Madonnas early stuff. They are actually glad it's banned, because that always means more sales. Usually when something gets banned from shelves, etc. more people look for it.

Post by: RapAce on June 24, 2001, 10:47:25 PM: Actually the song aint that bad,.....but does Eminem do Gangsta Rap, or just Agressive Rap

He's saying it's because Eminem is white, and thats why they pey more attention to it...Cuz NWA had much more woser things than "purple Hills"...
