Yes. It's called music, art, whatever. Many rappers use the phrase; that doesn't mean they should be excluded from being business people FFS.
I think we should be going in the opposite direction. Instead of getting all up in arms over the word "nigger" we ought to be getting over its negative conotations. It's just a word. Like whitey.
So if a person uses lyrics like that I should ignore it and act like they never said it to make money and screw whatever kid takes it to heart? With no responsibility.Is that right?..........Then treat them like they never said it?
Yes. It's a word. No different then saying an action is gay. Black kids call each other nigger all the time. Eminem uses the word frequently in his lyrics. It's just a word...
You don't need to ignore it. Just realize it's part of current culture and many black people LOVE that music. I don't see many black people hating on JayZ.
