Brownback: Yank Imus-Like Lyrics

ShareApril 14, 2007 7:53 PM
ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: Republican presidential candidate Sam Brownback tells ABC News that he plans to use his speech to the Iowa Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner to urge record companies to yank rap songs with Imus-like lyrics.
The Republican senator from Kansas provided ABC News with a list of what he terms the "top five songs on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks for the week of April 10, 2007." The songs, by EMI Capitol Records, Jive, Def Jam, Interscope, and Big Oomp Records, include offensive language that Brownback wants pulled the way Imus was pulled.
The following lyrics are excerpted from a handout provided by Brownback:
1. "This is Why I'm Hot" by Mims: "Another bitch another drop"
2. "I'm a Flirt" by Bow Wow and R-Kelly: "When it comes down to these hos I don't love em"
3. "Go Getta" by Young Jeezy and R. Kelly: "U in Da Club; U C A Bad Bitch"
4. "Throw Some D's" by Rich Boy: "F*k niggas wanna jack; Sh*t tight no slack"
5. "2 Step" by Unk: "Where The Gangsters At And You Can Still Post The Wall Nigga Holla Back"

Now who wants to see that? We couldn't possibly expect those who were the most vocally opposed to what Imus said to actually think they would have their favorite music taken away, would we? Like Imus' comments, that would also be "racist" and "violate someone's free speech". Follow the money. That's where you'll find those shady bandwagon democrats.

Getting fired is the best thing to ever happen to Imus.
It frees him up to do XM.
It gives us a forum to clean up the air waves.
I proves Sharpton is a hateful B*****D with blood on his hands.
I proves the liberals are divided against themselves and their house will not stand.
Good job Imus!

i dont think its fair to just put out some of the cussing on the rappers because other artists of different genres cuss and degrade women of their own race to... for instance "crazy bitch" by buckcherry and other songs that people know.

Oh come ON, get a life... if you don't like it, don't listen to it.
