On Sept. 25th, a US Congressional hearing entitled “From Imus to Industry: The Business of Stereotypes and Degradation” will take place and it will investigate media “stereotypes and degradation” of black women in hip-hop and the entertainment industry.
Ja Rule recently spoke to Complex magazine and expressed his opinion about this. “They got my man Doug Morris under fire and shit, they got him going down to go speak to Congress about hip-hop lyrics, are you fucking serious?” Ja said. “There’s a fuckin black kid right now about to get 25 years for having a fight with some white kids over hanging the nooses over the white tree, let’s get to that. Let’s get into shit like that, because that’s what’s tearing up America, not me calling a woman a bitch or a hoe on my rap songs.”
“And if it is, then we need to go step to Paramount, and fuckin’ MGM, and all of these other motherfuckers that’s making all of these movies and we need to go step to MTV and Viacom, and lets talk about all these fuckin’ shows that they have on MTV that is promoting homosexuality, that my kids can’t watch this shit,” he continued. “Dating shows that’s showing two guys or two girls in mid-afternoon. Let’s talk about shit like that! If that’s not fuckin’ up America, I don’t know what is.”
“There’s a lot of issues we can address besides hip-hop, but they want to put everything on us like we’re the problem,” Ja added. “This is going to be a shameless fuckin’ plug, but I said, ‘when everyone wants to point the finger, and ask why there’s so much corruption, they only need to look in the mirror.’ It starts with themselves.”
Top industry executives including Philippe Dauman of Viacom, Doug Morris of Universal Music Group, Edgar Bronfman, Jr. of Warner Music Group and music mogul Master P are expected to appear as witnesses in the hearing.

REAL FUCKING TALK!!!!!, but dats what america was built on, corruption and bullshit, if a person is allowed to hang nooses over a tree, they deserve whateva ass whooping comes to them, and not just nooses, if they put anti-jew symbols up, jews should be allowed to kick they ass, anything, if u do something u know is gonna degrade r hurt someone intentionally hate crime laws should'nt apply to u, however if u r a victim of a random act of hate u should be protected, but dont protect idiots under laws and their out there spreading hate in a symbolic way
fuck congress...they dont have to listen to hip hop
i'm movin to australia or somethin, cause he's right, America has BEEN fucked up. it's only gonna get worse. we don't need tax dollars wasted on a congressional fucking meeting to tell us THAT.
""when everyone wants to point the finger, and ask why there’s so much corruption, they only need to look in the mirror"" <-- real shit
4 the 1st time im with Ja on dis 1
yeah ja finally said somethin thats worth listenin to...knowin that this nigga understand bout whats goin on in the world make me respect him a lil bit...(lil bit lol)
personally i hate da nigga ja but i have to admit he has a gud point,theres loadsa bullshit dat white people have on tv and no body speaks bout it,in most action films ders guns and actors use very strong languages and no body seems to talk bout it,but if a nigga raps bout guns and hoes on cd the whole world rises, but in reality most niggas only rap bout the shit they witness growin up in they hoods and dat includes violence and prostitution.so ja has a point
rule give the fuck up 50 destroyed u, fat joe, jadakiss, cam'ron, bang em' smurf, domination, where game at, u r not coming back while curtis just dropped
He probably fucked more bitches than you'll ever dream of.Quit hating.
You are a jackass I don't care how much you hate Ja he is talking about some real shit. Shit thats going on in the world you live in. Your ignorant ass probably think he taking shots at Fifty. Go read a book you illiterate SOB better yet read something I don't care if its just a fucking sign. It's people like you that make living in America hard for the blacks. Don't be dumb your whole life!
Yeah Ja on some real shyt REAL TALK! The mirror coming soon!
Im still waiting for that Rule 3:36 type of album to return!
cosign on that 3:36
fuck 3:36....Vinni Vetti Vicci is where its at my nigg
Hypocrites rule America. Vote Ron Paul for president so that we can get our rights back and won't have to deal with stupid motherfuckers trying to blame everything on the Black man. If they try to censor Hip Hop then they better censor every other form of music as well. To that list add TV shows and movies also. White supremacists rule this White House. Us blacks need to rebuild Africa and have our own land. Were not wanted here so lets move and watch these whites kill each other off. Cuz that's what's going to happen if we leave. I can't stand the DEVIL.
Nigga there is no fucking way i'm going to move my black as to africa,Maybe my forefathers are from there but nigga,I was born and breaded right here in the fucking U S of fucking A and i'm not going anywhere...
And why don't niggas like JA other then 50 told ya'll not to,and if thats the case niggas need to stay right here in USA and be told for the rest of your fucking life how to shit and eat.Niggas is real fucking funny with i don't like JA.Back in 2000 and some ja was putting it down and everyone was jumping off to his shit.But since 50 said don't like the nigga now Ja is no good LOL.Get your weight up niggas be your own man or you will never get ahead in life...
wow this is the smartest and most logical thing I have ever heard come from Ja Rules mouth
Yea he spoke da truth...
haha that's real
i dont like ja that much but he spoke the truth i cant even watch MTV because half their shows got dudes kissing each other im not against gays it's just that homosexuals aint my thang
if we have to point fingers i would point mines to those heavy metal punks their lrycis are way harsher then rap lrycis
What the fuck can congress do about rap lyrics anyway? Lecture rappers and the labels? Rappers will always have a shield, called the first amendment. Doesn't all sound familiar? Remember the Too Live Crew back 90?
50 been saying the same shit about the movies and tv shows
yo i don't like ja rule but he makin some serious sense here
^^^ yup... they jus wanna get at rapers cuz they get paid to expose those realities...
JAS LOOK IN THE MIRROR BITCHES
It's tha truth, and it sucks because tha bottom line is Hip-Hop is tha most influential thing on this planet from Asia to Antartica, and it's not controlled by tha government so they are gon hate on it, tha police officer in Malcom X said it best, "that's too much power for one man to have" when they were marching in tha streets it's just tha way it goes in this country...so sad
Why don't you people like Ja Rule??? Please tell me... ya'll probaly don't even know why. He's been saying shit like this if you've ever truly listened to him or heard his interviews.
Props to Ja.
that some real talk...they wanna blame er'thing on Hip-Hop cuz they see black men gettin' 2 that money and they can't stand that shit...don't none of them mu'fuckaz in Congress listen to our music but this is somethin' they wanna focus on instead of all the real problems that got America fucked up...shit pisses me the fuck off...if they gotta censor our shit then they better go thru the whole fucken entertainment industry and censor er'bodys shit...our shit already gotta advisory sticker on it...what the fuck else do they want...and MTV is all fucked up...censor that shit...them Jackass boys all doped up doin' crazy ass shit on tv and ain't nobody sayin' shit about that...they tryna make gay the new straight and ain't nobody sayin' shit about that...and what about the Jena 6...this shit is as crazy as the law they tryna pass in the ATL that'll ban saggin'...what the fuck 4?
didnt they try this bullshit with nwa, and it just made them more famous. fuck this man, with all the recent events, i feel some kinda of change or revolution bout to surface. and like malcolm x said, it cant be a revolution without violence. police,politicians,doctors, lawyers,judges, all have used "negative language" or bought a cd with "negative language" on it before. oh yeah, its sep 13 RIP pac
aye man i dont even like ja but he speakin real talk man fuck da congress
wutitdo ja.........
some people stupid,saying 50 destroyed ja,ain't true,em destroyed ja.ja was stupid enough to call out em and dre,thats the dumbest move he ever made.
but i still rep his old albums,cos some of the songs were on point,and his new album looking good.but no-one in power gonna listen to what he says about the jena 6,cos its all politics at the highest level.
why is this mini guy still in the rap game
i mean who looks up to a midget
Shut the fuck up.Ja's got more money than your whole family combined..real talk.
THE WHOLE WESTCOAST LOOKED UP TO EAZY..............GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT DUDE.
Sorry for my last comment, I meant it, but I don't want to come off all pro black and sh**, I was only trying to make tha point that if there is an individual or in this case a genre in this country that carries a influence to move tha people and they aren't having some type of control over it, it must be a threat...They hate Tupac, Kanye, NWA, and oh there are others but these are tha only ones off tha top of my head I could think of...oh and don't think Eminem gets off tha hook, they hate him tha most, please believe it...
But anyways, I feel that Ja said it right I almost can't stand MTV because of tha selfless garbage it throws to make a buck at tha expense of keeping ignorance in people of tha ages 13-24 (this is tha main crowd I feel watches MTV) But what happened to shows like Family Matters, Step by Step, Full House, Brady Bunch...I'll tell you; people saw more profit in talking and showing fantasy...Yea sure you can tell someone NEXT if you don't like their hair, sure you can go out on a date with 3 moms and win a date with tha one someone has scripted for you to win, don't get me wrong yea I know its entertainment but lets be realistic, how many kids do you see trying to act like these people they see on Real World and tha best show ever to make tha normal parent look like sh** "My Super Sweet 16" right...
You wanna know why ain't nobody bothering with these issues I'll tell you why...because Viacom is getting rich, Viacom is within this countries control, and Hip-Hop has never been in this countries control, tha whole foundation of hip-hop is built on FREEDOM, come on now what other profession do you know you can go to prison and come out and bye tha house of tha judge that sentenced you while his children listen to tha music you wrote while in tha prison he sentenced you to...Now I'm NOT glorifying prison by any means but I reference it to show that even though you may feel entrapment by this country rightfully or wrongfully; you can still get your life together and flourish in a creative environment that allows you tha most freedom ever...whether it be fashion, music, dance, art, there are just so many avenues...
Trust our country hates tha fact that tha youth of today loves to go out and buy that sweat shirt that says G-Unit on it or come home from a long day and hear "Crank that Soulja Boy" coming from their little Susan's room, and majority of tha ones buying from these similar fashion lines and listening to these music artist are half of tha people's kids meeting to discuss these issues of hip-hop, hmmmm think about it...
Ja is right it got more serious shit happening like that Jena6,Genelow Wilson, that black woman who got hold for days and torture,them motherfucker need 2 hold a hearing on SKIDROW!!! were it got real problem, talk about police corruption and politcal corruption, and look who they Master P who is with take a stand shit man Fuck P he made millions off they shit and now wanna talk shit will if he is a shame of how he got his money give away 2 the ppl on Skidrow maybe or Katrina (which is a plan set up 2 keep blacks down) victim, they spend 10 BILLION!!!!!! a week on Iraq think about how much family that could help,spend millions on rocets so these white mofofucker can go back 2 there home planet MARS!!!, I could be here allday typing bout this shit but man FUCK da SYSTEM!!!!!!
