Was in the UK.
The only single he put out before Schools Out was Under My Wheels which didn't even get into the top 60.

They are color blind which is even worse than being a racist. But I personally feel they are color blind as well as racist. Hip Hop was raped of everything... I will just say that. I just think it is sad because young people listen to it on the radio and believe that accurately reflects Hip Hop and it does not. |

You gave examples that implied that most songs that get banned end up going to number one or end up being popular.
When you made that point, I never denied that is the case for SOME songs but no that is not the case for ALL songs that are banned. There are mega star's that have songs that were not even a Top 10 single that have been banned. |

Que? Do you still live in the United States? Raped no! But giving into to the flashy bull**** that was handed to the artists yes. If there is one thing the industry as well as the artist themselves are guilty of it's greed. How can you be color blind and racist ? Rethink that one for me will you...Or lay it one me. What the hell do you mean?

The last recorded lynching in the United States (as the US knows) was back in 1981 Michael Donald a 17 year old African American man was publicly hanged by two KKK members in Alabama while he was walking home from a grocery store. This was after the Post Civil Rights Era.
Black people are not suppose to be angry about this? Rappers are not suppose to make songs about this? This is problematic. Trayvon Martin (2012) was shot walking home from a store JUST because he had a "hoody" that is a stereotypical characteristic of gang member or thug. He was 17 and shot just because of that stereotype that is associated with African American young men. The killer was cleared of ALL charges. Here it is 2014 and this crap is still going on. When is it going to stop? I am just tired of white people acting like this crap does not go on and ignoring the prejudice/injustice issues that affect other minorities. I just think it is ignorant. There is nothing wrong with rappers talking about these issues in their songs. |

@Plankton
9/11 changed everything for americans including what you can play on the radio at the time. And Serj looks too middle eastern too so that's another flag raised.
