More Russell...

Here's Russell on Bill O'Reilly's show. If you don't know who Bill O'Reilly is, he's one of the biggest critics of HipHop and HipHop culture. He most famously got Ludacris dropped from being a spokesperson for a famous cola drink brand. On several occasions he's called for HipHop to be completely banned and is very well known for not letting his guests talk if he doesn't agree with them - so you can tell he's really loving all the fall out from the Don Imus fiasco.

To boil down Russell's message, he feels that three words (N word, B**** & H*) should be deleted from "mainstream distribution" i.e. Radio edited songs, mainstream radio, mainstream television & clean edited albums. I can understand Russell's position and agree with a lot of his argument but the amount of times his book is mentioned in these interviews doesn't sit well with me. Kinda diluting the debate Russell Rush...
