According to sources from Allhiphop.com, Lyor Cohen is holding a closed door meeting to discuss the state of the music with representatives from the Hip-Hop community,on April 18th at his Manhattan home.
Titled “American Gangsta: Gangsta Grillz Special Edition”, and planning to feature new material from Boyz N Da Hood, Young Jeezy, Rich Ross,T.I, Big Kuntry, and Back Up N Da Chevy, Russel “Block” Spencer & the Aphilliates and DJ Drama look to be creating another smash.
All in the wake of radio host Don Imus’ racially insensitive comments towards Rutgers University female basketball team, and the controversy over free speech, and as it pertains to Hip-Hop, some activists have switched their priority to addressing the music as well. Al Sharpton specifically claimed that his NAN (National Action Network) will be arranging meetings with rap artists to speak with them about their degrading lyrics. Even with this, some are still not sold on Sharptons position in the ordeal.
“Language can be a powerful tool. That is why one’s intention, when using the power of language, should be made clear,” said Dr. Benjamin Chavis, president of the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network and Russell Simmons in a joint statement released on April. 13. “Comparing Don Imus’ language with Hip-Hop artists’ poetic expression is misguided and inaccurate and feeds into a mindset that can be a catalyst for unwarranted, rampant censorship.”
Russell is also slated to be on not only Good Morning America to discuss this, but on The Oprah Winfrey Show as well sometime this week.

fuck hip hop, that shit is dead, "I mean New Flop City Hip Hop", they want to go back to the 80's days, were going "Gold" was the shit. "Hip Hop" is not dead, It just move the fuck out of "New Flop City" and to live in "The South" and take a "West Coast" vacation. an I-luv-Hiphop, you can stop with all that g-unit shit, that g-unit is dead, "G-Unot" in the streets and "G-U-Flop" in the mainstream, Yall East Coast Rap niggaz are like dead starfish on the banks of Atlantic City Beach, "Wash Up", and flopping like pancakes in "The South", Yeah we the reason yall "Flop".Ask MIMS, what copying cat will get U. LMAO, very loud.
Fuck you southern Niggas who think ya' still running shit..nobody is running nothing hip hop and rap as a whole ain't selling like it use to.sells is way below and like 50 said we about to lose retail..so here is a list for the south.,...that new young buck floped..only 200,000 copies..jezzy still hasn;t hit plat yet,lil flip floped paul wall floped 92,000(damn)what southern niggas is running shit..JAY Z is the only cat to have a good year 2mills done.so if you think the rest of these wack rappers from the south comming out is gona sell lol....YEAH RIGHT go get your foot out your mouth and check the stats,,,,,NEW YORK CITY<<THEY GONA LOOK FOR US TO BRING IT BACK WATCH...
I hope they talk about how Down South rappers are the ones destroying hip hop! I just hate southern rappers!
DOWN SOUTH NIGGAS AREN'T DESTROYING HIPHOP; ITS NIGGAS LIKE YOU THAT CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIPHOP AND GIMMICKS.
BIG L he obviously said UGK, not UNK. Anyways, hip hop is just a vent for those who can creatively speak their mind. Calling women bitches and hoes (although they can be...) is not creative if you do it on every song. Theres no creativity when all you can talk about is money, bitches, smoking, hustling, partying, or shooting. That makes up 90% of the hip hop out there. I'd never say the south is ruining hip hop considering we have gotten artists like UGK, like Scarface, Outkast etc. They've done their part. IT's just that corporate AMerica has convinced us that MOS DEF is whack, and JEEZY is hot. ALL because they rap about two different things.
I'm tired of Everybody pointing fingers at which side killed hip-hop. The East, West, Mid-west, and South all have Whack ass gimmick rappers. I'm from da south but I can't sit here and let you say fuck da south, and that the south is killin hip hop when yo boi Jim Jones has his hands in on murdering hip hop too!
It's good that Lyor & company are taking time out to address problems in Hip-Hop but I don't expect much.
Labels will continue to push what sells. And right now the bullshit is what selling. Everyone is guilty regardless of where you're from. Still, I find it crazy that that Imus shit is what sparked this whole thing.
Hip-Hop shouldv'e never even enter

That's like me getting caught for bank robbery, but arguing that I thought it was ok because some other dudes I know did it, and got away with it.
They teach "two wrongs don't make a right" in kindergarten. I never met Imus so I won't say that he's a racist or whatever but at the BARE MINIMUM that "joke" was in very poor taste...scratch that, it was just plain fuckin dumb.
Dude got what he got. Man up, and eat that shit.
http://rapblog.wordpress.com/
Unk trash, UGK trash, Mike Jones trash, D4l trash, Huey trash, Young Joc trash, Young dro trash, Young Jeezy trash, Young Buck trash, Paul wall trash, Slim thug trash, B.G. trash, Lil Wayne trash, Rick Ross really trash, Dem Franchise Boys trash, Pitbull trash, Trick Daddy trash, Eightball and Mjg trash, Webbie trash, Chamillionaire Trash, T.I. overrated trash, Lil Boosie trash, Crunchy Black trash, Tom Tom trash, Crime Mob trash, Lil Scrappy trash, Nelly Trash, Murphy Lee trash, Project Pat trash, Lil Romeo trash.
All these artist are trash and that's all they play on the radio, that's all they play on BET. And all these niggas are trash. That's why suddenly people think hip hop is dead, is because of all these artist.
Southern artists are flopping just as bad as east coast artists so what the f**k are ya talking about?
but it looks like people are convinced the south killed hip hop, so now theyre waiting for the resurrection. papoose perhaps?
Oh my bad jchoopa Iol looked like unk when you glance n shit
It kind of pisses me off that these dudes (Russell and Lyor) act like they can do something about it. Although they are powerful at their labels/businesses, the industry as a whole could care less about either one of them. They are not gods and , in the grand scheme of shit, they dont have THAT much influence. Let's say they wanted to make a change and have artists stop using the word nigga. You honestly thikn they are going to force every artist they work with to NOT use the word? cmon man, be fuckin realistic...
DEFSOUNDS ISN'T A REAL NIGGA. I ADVISE NOBODY TO ARGUE WITH HIM. IM NOT EVEN GONNA RAP ABOUT IT.
YO Reign/you should be supportive of these dudes trying to do something positive for the hip hop culture/long as people stop saying the south is running it im fine..if not go look up an album from the south that has went gold this year..no1 down there has did well sellin records..im happy people are starting to see the bullshit thats out down there...when you got dumb and uncreative rappers you get what hip hop is now..even 2pac evened it out..when he said HOES he did i GET AROUND when he raped about real strong women he did keep your head up...there is no balance Nas was right hip hop is DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!
The whole issue of the article is about the degrading use of words towards women, and the Imus issue not who killed hip hop. If tryin to point fingers at which side killed hip hop, all you are doing is adding on to the problem. I feel that the Imus issue don't have shit to do with hip hop. I feel that white people saw that this dude called some black chicks hoes and then they pulled the "black people say nigga all the time" card.
i agree with you defsounds R. the only artist i feel in the south is chamillionaire (cuz hes humble and admits the south is serving us trash, and hes ill with the lyrics.)
A LOT OF NIGGAS YOU NAMED WERE WACK DEFSOUNDS BUT NOT ALL OF EM. JEEZY, BUCK,BG PROJECT PAT, 8BALL AND MJG, A LOT OF THEM NIGGAS IF THEY AREN'T NICE THEIR PIONEERS SO I DONT KNOW IF I CAN RESPECT YOUR OPINION. NOW THAT I THINKL ABOUT IT THOUGH A LOT OF THEM OTHER NIGGAS IS STRAIGHT ASS CHEEK JUICE 4REAL. ESPECIALLY HUGHY. THAT NIGGAS GETTING A WEDGIE FROM ME PERSONALLY.
NYC- I wont support people who are media hungry, no matter who the fuck they are. Wheather they are in the government, politics, or music biz. And fuck Al Sharpton too. He's only around to take pictures and have his face out there when something goes down. If it's not a negative news story, you'll never see him.
As far as the hole South issue....this shit is getting retarded. I am not a fan of down south music at all, but how can you say they killed hip-hop? If anything, they help it keep going. Hip-Hop is universal now, so with that, there will be a unique sound in every other place it lives at. If you hate the South, try listening to some hip-hop in Switzerland or Japan, and see what you think. I'll always be a NY nigga, but that dont mean I'm gonna shit on everyone who isnt from here.
yo that nigga Coolace is unoriginal as every one from his region. Either that or he took up another user name. Is that the southern anthem you faggots took up and say to feel better about the shit that is constantly coming out of the south? Hip Hop" is not dead, It just move the fuck out of "New Flop City" and to live in "The South" and take a "West Coast" vacation? You are the dumbest dick on this site along with that other cock sucker who said that shit before you unless u the same dude and u got clowned and had to come with a new user name. nigga get the straw out ya mouth and take off the overalls and move into the new century. these new 12 yr old faggots kill me with their comedy... but i can be funny too! go play amongst your cow and chickens in your backyard

Thank you for being one of the few people who can read and understand the english language. I think education lacks from where those other asses come from. And Quack, it was first the rappers and music people say ho's and bitches to females all the time and they are owned by white companies. What is the difference with Imus? That was their argument and then it turned towards nigga/nigger

Let me break this shit down for ya! Everyone here agrees that the south is running hip hop right? And everyone knows that radio stations, and video stations are playing majority of down south records now right? It's the down south artist who are making Black People of America look bad, their the ones snapping fingers all the time making us look like a bunch of Dancing Coons like that's all we have to offer. Their the ones Glorifying Trapping like it's something to be proud of. Their the ones with the fucked up english like "What it do" "Hey Shawty". Not the North artists. At least when up north artist rapped you could understand what they were saying. Imus represents the average white man in America, and what he said reflects what he sees on television. Hip Hop is a huge part of African American culture and since The south is representing hip hop, then that's all white people see. They really think were a bunch of niggas talking about rims, snapping fingers, trapping, shake yo tailfeather, chain hang low, and the rest of that meaningless bullshit. So when I say the South is killing Hip hop I'm telling the truth. Yall talking about downloading, and corporations which is a small part. But the big part is overpopulated garbage being played everywhere.
I understand that rappers where the first to use the words ho and bitch and directed them towards females. But it is not often were a rapper pin pointed out a single female or group like Imus did. I feel like that who killed hip hop thing is played out and that we as young black males need to learn how to work with each other no matter where you are from. How can we be strong against White people(other races too) If I can't get along w/ a dude thats from a differnet city. So if white people and congress really come after hip hop they could really kill it because there is no UNITY within the culture.

There can't be Unity if radio stations, and video stations are only playing Down South Records. If record labels are only really promoting down south artist. You gotta a shitload of artist from everywhere that raps about other things Like Common, Nas, Jay-z, Talib, Mos Def, Lupe, Dead Prez, The Roots, etc.... You got artist that ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING MEANINGFUL TO SAY but won't get any exposure because their not snapping their fingers. So how can there be any unity when people are bias? How is an artist suppose to feel when they spend alot of time in the studio putting quality in their music only to not get played? Instead they decide to play Jeezy aka The snowman aka The BIG GREAT DRUG DEALER! A drug dealer represents OUR hip hop culture and yall are surprised at what Imus said? Yall aint serious! Play more Common is what they need to do, Play more positive records to show white america that we have more to offer.
I agree with the meaningless content of the shit that everyone from anywhere puts out. I'm from the south (Texas to be exact. I don't agree with the snapping, rims, drugs, and pimping. Me personally I think the shit is stupid but the people that buy the music and constantly call the stations and request that crap is just as in the wrong and as the artist that put it out. Thats just my opinion. I know it most might not agree but If we really did something ourselves as fans of "true" hip hop, its our duty to try to get real shit out there again. I could do without hearing one of Jeezy's 29 songs on the radio about trappin.
I agree with that totally! Thats how buisness works, if we stop buying bullshit that they market, they find out what we want and they start marketing that. If the demand is there, then they will supply it, but if the demand is for bullshit then all you get is the same.
on my radio station only the white kids call the request line. they helped kill hip hop.
by the way jeezy sucks @$$!
Where I from it's teenage girls. They are the ones who control 106 at park basically.
Defsound where are you from? Cause if you want to talk about biased, NY radio is the most biased of them all. Yea Hot97 and Power 105 plays whats popular to play whats hot but we play the fuck out of our NY artist that no other radio stations play. They have almost every artist. I was in Cali a few weeks ago, and again like in NY they had the popular music but they had artist and songs I never heard from who are west coast artist. Blame your radio station or call in and ask why they don't what you want. MTV and BET are going to play whats hot and water it down till its no longer hot... why are you or people looking at them to tell you what to listen to or whats popping right now?
What does being white have to do with anything?????? u MAD ignorant
yup. teenage girls and white kids. they go on bet.com to vote for huey.
because i dont know a single white person who has yet to listen to anything thats actually descent. they only listen to "whats in". i know this for a fact because im surrounded by them. i used to go to school with them.
One other thing is that, as blacks we don't own enough media outlets as a whole. BET is the only TV station I can think of. If artist actually cared that much about hip hop as a whole and not so much of themselves there could be just a true station that plays hip hop and shit that is REAL.
Coporate America is going to put money into what is going to sell and right now this sound is selling but as you can see, this sound is stalling and fading out fast. The majority of the consumers ( teenage girls , young white males and females ) are finding out fast that this one song on an album bullshit isn't cutting it anymore. You can see this by the sales all over the board. I turn to BET when I'm home and bored, and this is no diss but every vdo has cars with gold rims or talking about rims and the car and talking about girls and then showing off the grills in the teeth and a new dance. That new song is pure bullshit by UNK.. 2 STEP? Where is the creativity of this shit? Anyways, just be patient and this fad will pass and to that dick up there, the East coast will start having southern abortions and this shit will die lol Maybe some will live ... the ones who will make it past the fad and can adapt.
That UNK shit is whack! Is it me or is that 2 step the walk it out the same damn song!

You're kidding me right? Whites are the biggest consumers of music and hip hop. Statistically, white people are the ones who buy cd's. If you know anything about marketing and music, and I'm not an expert but I have friends in the business, but the agent and managers and everyone who is involed knows that females first buy records so you appeal to them, and then they break it down to white young females, white males.... its just proven and its how they market this
crazedhiphop, i took a visit to nyc two years ago, and i was displeased with what they were playing on the hot97. hollaback girl? i admit, that song was hot. but thats not what they should have been playing. from gwen stefani, to the black eyed peas, it was pretty much embarassing to know this was the station i listened to growing up. sure they had the kiss your @$$ goodbye remix, something you wont hear in the south. but hot97 was starting to feel like "pop97". it was the equivalent to mtv. one good song out of every 16. to actually get some real hip hop, i had to wait till midnight when the djs started cuttin them mixtape joints up like camrons get down, which was the hottest track i heard the whole day. mind you, its 12 in the morning. hot97 felt like it was oversaturated with southern influence. i already live in the south, so you think taking a vacation meant having some relief from the ying yang twins. but noooo!!!! to be real, mainstream america has literally destroyed what was once a creative, but fun genre of music. now, id rather listen to justin timberlake and chris daughtry.

That UNK shit is whack! Is it me or is that 2 step the walk it out the same damn song!
it is. glad im not the only one who realized it. its just like "everytime the beat drop" was the same damn beat as "grillz." seems like the south is running out of original beats or something.
Don't get me wrong Mannie Fresh is the best producer in the south! He come with da beats but as far as Nitty and whoever produces UNK are border line trash!!!

and y is that because black people would rather burn it then buy it
so thats the reson white poeple are the biggest consumers
because black people think "oh nigga i kan get that for 5 bucks"
we fell to support our artist
thats why record sales look like that
if black people actually practiced what we preach then the artist would have good sale numbers
but its like this for example
the 50 cent lovers you all support and bak this guy but i know for a fact most of yaw burn his shit because you dont want to pay 14.99
i buy all quiks shit as well as the other artist i like
but most of us dont
I rep da south but I won't stand for some of the trash that is out!
yea GKid, those songs are popular and hot97 always played music like that. Hot97 isn't going to ban music from the south and leave people from NY deaf from whats playing all over. the Ying Yang Twins were a national sensation and how are you not going to play that? Again, they are going to play that popular music for ratings and keep you tuned into the station but they play underground artists, mixtape joints, and all that. Yea, you might have to wait till after 6pm for some of that but its all business and they are going to do what they can for ratings and money. The sound of the south is going around and its going to get play no matter what while its still here till a new sound comes around. That hollaback girl was that shit! LOL You know you were bumping that shit.. And Gwen was really saying when she said I ain't no hollaback girl girl... she said I ain't no harlem black girl! That's why it got played haha no really... it was like a hip hop song with that dre beat.

BULLSHIT! I WAS JUST IN NEW YORK THIS PAST WEEKEND AND THEY WAS PLAYING A SHITLOAD OF DOWNSOUTH RECORDS WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THEY WAS PLAYING SOME UP NORTH SHIT TOO BUT THE MAJORITY OF SONGS I HEARD WAS THE MOST POPULAR ONES WHICH WAS DOWN SOUTH. GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!
why don't people just go to Best Buy and cop the album for $9.99 for the first two weeks when it drops.
in kali that shit is never $9.99
maybe after 3 months
In Texas the first day somethin drops its $9.99 but later on during the week the price goes up to full retail.
White people are the majority of people buying hip hop records. So when they hear black people "Snapping fingers" "Trapping" that's all they think about us. We're just a bunch of Drug Dealers, Dancers, and Killers. Hip Hop is a big influence. Look at white ass Paul Wall! I bet if there were no such thing as Hip Hop he would be the whitest white boy around. No instead he got grillz in his mouth, he talks ebonics, he hangs out in the projects knowing damn well he was in the Trailer Parks. How many white people you seen live in the hood? NONE!
thats cuz yall is backwards...lol, nah just playin
yeah crazedhiphop. i basically went through highschool with a bunch of homegrown southerners and this is what i realized.
females, whether black or white, are the first to buy albums. white females make up the majority. but then comes along the white males, who end up buying more records than all the females combined. then the black males. i seriously dont know a black male who has bought an actual album. they rely on the white kids to buy them, and then burn them.
the hood doesnt buy no albums. this is why i never understand why people get mad at 50 cent, or other artists trying to appeal to the white fanbase. "THATS WHERE THE MONEY IS AT, DUMB NIGGAS!!"
Defsound what the fuck are you talking about? Stop typing in capslock all the time when you try to make a point and you fail to read what I wrote. I said they play popular shit but they play shit you won't hear anywhere else and play music that is from the east coast and sound of NY. Hot97 will continue to play whats hot and its that down south music for the time being. I never said they didn't play south shit but its not crazy like you're trying to make it seem like. My whole point is before you got your dick hard and wanted to come off like you knew some shit was NY plays more East Coast - NY shit then any where. I never said they didn't play southen popular music.

some trailer parks are in the hood.......lol but there are
but i see your point
yeah hollaback girl was hot. lol! that was the summer anthem. so was dont funk with my heart. but it still doesnt fit that genre of music. not on hot97 anyway.
did you like the remake of john legends ordinary people to "ordinary negro"? that song was funny as hell. lol!
so a white man says some racist shit and they blame it on hip hop isn't that the most racist shit ever that just proves black don't got a say in shit and i bet Imus is gonna keep is job too
that year i was in the bronx, there were white people all over this one area where my cousin lives. i never seen that before. but my aunt said its because all the blacks and latinos are moving to the south (damn rent is too high. $1000 for one bedroom apartment? nigga pleeease!) and so all the whites are moving back into the city. theyre taking over and theres nothing we can do!!! after all, the landlords are jews.
I met Paul Wall he is a cool and He got a hood pass in Texas all the way from Houston to Stop Six in Fort Worth. He owns like a hundred grill shops in Texas and He is also married to a black chick. I think he is just a hood as anyother black dude that pretends he is hood.
Yo GKid, i had this market research breakdown on who buys albums and where the majority came from, and I agreed with you but you said white males beat out the females. If I find it, I'll show it to you, but females - white and black are the biggest consumers. and then white males comes in first in the male department but 3rd overall. Why would the hood buy albums to be honest with you? They got the bootleggers on tables and sheets with cd's for $5 and 5 for $20 or some other deal, who would wanna pass that up? This isn't something new.
“Comparing Don Imus’ language with Hip-Hop artists’ poetic expression is misguided and inaccurate and feeds into a mindset that can be a catalyst for unwarranted, rampant censorship.”
"Its impossible, to stop a ho
So let her go, and get the dough
Lead the way, or step aside
Break a bitch till the day I die"
so this is poetic expression right???
I also Blame Bob Johnson "Owner of BET" BET and TVONE are the only stations in America ran by African Americans, but BET is the most popular one. Nothing gets approved unless he agrees to it. He's the one putting on all this trash on TV. Everyone watches BET now, so when they see us in videos dancing around snapping our fingers, rap about drugs, half naked black women on videos that's what they think of us. Just like when I watch mtv and look at "Jackass" and "Scarred" I automatically think white people are crazy muthafuckas that think hurting themselves are funny. Hip Hop is an art form, and life imitates art. Look at shows on BET like "American Gangster" is that the type of African American history that people should learn about? What about positive things we done? Why is BET promoting Black Gangsters instead of Black leaders? So BET is playing a major role in the decline of hip hop, and african american culture too!

He actually got fired. Thanks to Al Sharpton punk @$$. Is it me or am I the only one who feels that Al Sharpton thinks he is The hero for black rights? Everytime something is wrong, this dude and his dark and lovely perm is on TV?
MAN HONESTLY I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THIS DON IMUS SHIT HAS TO DO WITH HIPHOP. I THOUGHT YALL MIGHT BE CONFUSED AS ME

MAN HONESTLY I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THIS DON IMUS SHIT HAS TO DO WITH HIPHOP. I THOUGHT YALL MIGHT BE CONFUSED AS ME
because he took the statement from a easy e song
and since that is hip hop there related
there sayin if these lryics were never used then it would prevent these types of events but it really has nothin to do with hip hop it has to do with white people thinkin "oh you guys said it so y cant i"
white poeple need to understand that they kant say what we say
som white people are honestly confused though they think just because there not racist and they love black people they can say these thing when actually they cant
and when they realize that the better it will be
you niggas didn't like PLANET ROCK nigga that shit was and still bangs
niggas like hatin on the south and sayin they garbage...but these niggas
love FMINEM and the HipPop shit he be doin that shit is wack here is a
mothafucka,FMINEM, that battles boy bands makes diss track at bad bitches
and go at Elton John.........but niggas will say thats called good marketing
but let the south do some strip club shit and its a problem,let GAME diss a
bitch aka "VIDA" he a bi-polar nigga etc....etc.... but most of you niggas
thats on that bullshit yo favorite MC is these SHADY/G-UNIT homos....so
fuck you dickriders...........
Quack19 thanks to clear that shit up but im not a big fan of the ex pimp neither
Defsounds R, that is one of the realist things I heard! I never got why BET shows american gangster? Thats why lil boys grow up with these distorted views either you have to be an athlete, rapper or a gangsta to be a rich black man. He shpuld do shows on how he made his money or a history lesson on how the dude from JET made his Money
