Outrage Growing As Petition Demanding Rawse to Be Dropped From Reebok Started By Women's Group

Forget the bs. I hope he keeps that Reebok endorsement even though I ain't too much a fan of cops.......



But this here is crying over spilled milk.

If Em aint apologize this ? aint gotta apologize. The only thing ? should apologize for is frontin and stealing Freeway's persona. These ugly ass ? should shut the ? up. They aint even gotta worry cuz they aint never gonna get ? in their lifetimes.

Word I aint even seen a ? get sleepy on molly unless its hydrocodone or xannies passed off as molly. Molly aint GHB.

It was probably at the very least the most irresponsible thing he's ever said, and I hope it's not indeed true. ? is worse then death. The song should be pulled, but it's up to Clear Channel and American Broadcasting to do the right thing on that. ? is ridiculous.

Its not even that serious.



Exactly what is ? culture and where did it start?? I guess us blacks have a "Jordan culture", "Timberland culture", "gun culture", "box chevy culture", had a "Girbaud culture" when they were in style, and etc just cause hip hop artists rap about it??.. H3ll outta hear w/ all that....

All I know is this....
Kobe accused of ? and all endorsements gone.

Ben Roethlisberger repeatedly actually rapes ? and he loses nothing, no petitions, no demeaning signs at games for years, none of that ? .

Maybe the culture of ? they speak of is our culture.

Like my dude said, Bob Dylan was never met with opposition over a whole song about ? but Ross spit a few bars and ober 50,000 insecure white ? sign a petition against him. Be clear and fair across the board.

There is truth in your post without a doubt. But..........Why can't we (blacks) be better? Why mimic what whites do?
Are you saying because, they choose to poison their own we should too?

Really?!?!

So unfair punishment/scrutiny based on race is okay because we should be better than white people? Ill give you a chance to take that back b. You know that's some ? .

No in fact it isn't ? and I don't back track on the truth. I agreed there is truth to your statements in regards to racial bias. However, this bias doesn't give us a green light to do the same and then say well so and so did it so,I should too.

I would think you were taught better. This isn't rocket science or religious dogma. I am almost certain some one has taught you to be the bigger person, not be a follower and strive for better.

And for the record you didn't answer any of my questions.

I am not saying that we should do it BECAUSE they do it fam. I am saying that everybody does it and should be equally scrutinized. You can't be outraged when a black man does something and okay with it when white folks do it ....that's racist.

It matters not who is scrutinized more. What matters is, the decision making. If, RR made better decisions in this matter he wouldn't be scrutinized. And for a man of his age to make such a bone headed blunder deserves whatever comes his way.

You call it racists. I call it policing our own so, that the younger generation doesn't view their elders negative actions as acceptable.

Following on the heels of a week of controversy over Reebok's silence on their spokesman Rick Ross' new song in which he brags about drugging and ? a woman, UltraViolet members are planning to deliver 71,763+ petitions to the company's flagship NYC store demanding the company fire him. The Reebok spokesman's response that in not using the word "? " he is off the hook has only escalated complaints that he does not fit Reebok's image. What: Delivery of 71,763 signatures to Reebok demanding the company drop Rick Ross. Who: Dozens of concerned athletes, moms, and UltraViolet members. Where: Reebok's flagship NYC store, 420 5th Ave, NYC When: 2pm, Thursday, April 4th ** Visuals: Dozens of women in running gear with marathon style bibs featuring the number 71,763, boxes of 71,763 petitions, and signs reading "Hey Reebok-- Want my business? Stop promoting ? . Drop Rick Ross."

f#ck the non-sense!

Wow, smh. Every time something of this nature happens rap fans use that "he/she did it too". Y'all been using that for more than 20 years, so is there a single rapper that y'all ever gonna say was wrong or should take responsibility? I get why ppl say it and sometimes it's accurate, ie. when they blamed Manson or rappers for Columbine, but how can you use that same ol' tiredsome argument they've been using since the 80's now and for cases like this? What about the actual ? they said? I don't see none of that in these arguments. All y'all doing is re-directing the pointed finger, but again, what about the actual point about his lyrics?

This is a reason rappers feel they can say and do what they want to because there's always a crowd that's gonna argue just to argue while thinking they're really saying something.

Ppl bring up Eminem, DMX and countless others. Do y'all even know how much ? Eminem went through? Women groups, ? and the whole 9 were after his head since he first came out. That is why he tried to clean it up with that Grammy's performance with Elton John. But say they didn't go after them or say y'all just didn't hear them go after them why would that matter? What about the actual point, you know, the ? lyrics in the songs and how it effects ppl listening? Or are y'all just gonna debate about who said what and who is more wrong every time?

Same thing with DMX too. First of all, that ? lyric was a part of the story in the song. That wasn't what Ross was doing let's be honest. Either way X got the same criticism bcuz of that. When he got the ? case in 1998 the media and ppl immediately wanted the judge to throw him the book. His situation was almost identical to Snoop and his "Murder Was The Case" irony.
