Somehow I don't think a "Song" (And I use that term as loosely as is humanly possible) like that would make it on the radio. You're missing my point. I would have less of a problem with radio stations playing a 2 second "Warning, Explicit Lyrics Ahead" than chopping up a song. Give your kids some credit, they're smart enough to know that swearing isn't always appropriate aren't they?

How is tearing apart a song and censoring lyrics protecting our children? There are statistics out there that show by the time a child in North America is 16 years old they will have seen over 30,000 acts of violence on television, will have witnessed 300 rapes and 10,000 murders on TV and in Motion Pictures and you're worried about them picking up a few naughty words from a rap song?

I appreciate your opinion though, I wouldn't want my kids listening to "fuck yo mutha fukn mama in da ass biatch" either, not because of the language, but because music like that is pure, unadultrated shit, plain and simple. I don't lump all Rap and Hip-Hop into the same category as that, there are actually some guys out there that have something to say and do it in an intelligent and eloquent manner. But the idiots that write all the "Mutha Fukka" garbage are simply lacking any creativity, imagination or musical talent so they have to be as offensive as possible to sell CD's. Am I way out of line for saying that?
