NEW YORK, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Hip-hop culture and controversy have always made for familiar bedfellows. Yet, in the wake of the Imus controversy and in a year when the genre's sales have tumbled, hip-hop finds itself under an exceptional amount of scrutiny and pressure -- and the stakes have never been higher. BET NEWS takes a powerful and compelling look at the state of hip-hop today in a three-part series titled HIP HOP vs. AMERICA. Hosted by BET's own Toure and Jeff Johnson, this special showcases a candid, heated forum that will allow audiences to hear the opinions of prominent leaders in the hip-hop industry, the political realm, academia and the Black church

of course the rappers defend it that's how they make their money. no matter how you slice it, it's bad music. I feel sorry for Nelly's sister, but it's hard to take a rapper seriously when he slides credit cards down a womans ass. While he has a point, pointing the finger at strippers, and porn stars still doesn't take away from the point that hip-hop is derogatory to woman. so it's ok to degrade them if they sign a permission slip

[MrManigan]

so...letme get this straight....you made an "adult video" to raise money for your sisters disease? cant you make millions rapping?

@Mikeylars1 Of course it will never die. the world population is de-evolving. Witness the capitals above and the profanity. More people will like it because the masses of sheeple, follow trends blindly.
