Why did they censor "white man get paid off of all of that" on "All falls down"?

but its true. If you want to be offended by the truth, then that's on you. I say they shouldn't have censored it. Matter of fact, they should stop censoring music period

Because white people don't want black people to know where they get money from.

Technically, it is a racist stereotype. It's inferring that all rich and powerful people (owners, presidents, etc.) are white. But at the same time it would be a racist stereotype to assume only blacks buy Jordans. To me, if you're offended by either one, you're being way too sensitive. And usually it's the labels that censor these songs, not the radio or music television. They're afraid of offending some parents organization or some shit like that, usually headed by someone like Tipper Gore. These are the type of people that will go before congress and pressure stockholders into pressuring the labels to censor or sometimes drop an artist. As extreme as that sounds, it has happenned.

some radio stations censor different things...hell around here on Trey Songz "Invented Sex" remix the Baltimore station 92.3 censors out when Trey Songz say "I'm goin like a Tiger Woods put" but the other 2 DC stations don't censor it at all...I've heard that Kanye line censored in the video but not on the radio...guess it depends on where you hear the song

Moderator's from 'round here. That's wzup. I'm in PG County with an old car. I only get PGC and KYS. I practically have to be in the harbor to pick up 92Q in the ride so I never heard it censored.

I agree, words shouldn't hurt, but that has to be the dumbest, lopsided comparison I've ever heard. I really don't think when Kanye penned that line he was thinking "this is for Emett Till". It's not that deep, stop digging. This song was more than likely censored by a black label head who thought it would offend Kanye's biggest group of consumers, white people. Artists stand up for their lyrics, unless there's the potential to lose money. To me, if they're going to censor any mention of race, then it should be a uniform censorship, meaning all mention of race period should be banned. I think that's ridiculous, but it is fair. What offends some doesn't necessarily offend all. One of my favorite songs is "Hip Hop" by Dead Prez. I've heard this song on the radio before with the word "crackas" blurred out and I've heard it without being censorred. As a white person, I'm offended to hear the word omitted. I think it's the best line in the whole song ("I'm down to run up on these crackas in they city hall"). In my experience, that line is very true. In my city, Birmingham, Alabama, the population is about 80-85% black, but you go up in the Jefferson County courthouse, the majority of the judges, d.a.'s, lawyers, sheriffs, etc. are white and more times than not, textbook crackers. And almost none of these "crackas" live in the city limits. Now if someone from out of town asks them where they live, they're from Birmingham. But in actuality, they live in Mtn. Brook or Vestavia or some other rich suburb of Birmingham. To me, if a you get that emotional or offended over a song, you should probablly stick to instrumentals or no music at all. As usual, if it bothers you that much, change the channel/station and don't buy the album. Problem solved.
