That is a good point. This is one radio station that pulled it.
I do think it needs to me discussed about why some women would be offended by these lyrics.
RAP music is often about the experiences of inner city minorities and their dealing with the police and the like.
Cannot say I can relate to their experiences but do value their First Amendment rights to have the government not quiet their free speech.
I did live one summer in a neighborhood in downtown Minneapolis where they had drug deals in the park across the street and I would hear gun shots every so often from that park. I kept off the street after 7:00 PM if not earlier. Most of the people who lived there were African American or Lakota who had left their reservation.
RAP music often appeals to the people who live in these tough neighborhoods.
