Do you have some link you can provide to support your challenging statement? I dare not google up possible slander for the sake of believing what you have to purport here in this thread at all.
I've asked it before, but I'll ask it again:
What are the most major differences between rap and hip hop?
In my mind, I have it simply organized that
rap=offensive/aggressive/negative/chest-beating tendencies,
hip hop=community-building/enlighten/illuminate/happiness.
(and on that note is Snoop Dogg hip hop or rap? Tricky?)
I seem to remember Eminem gave the best defense for rap's typical aeffrontery in 8mile. I am not sure how to describe the taste in my mouth after seeing it, however. Maybe I could use a bubble bath.

Allegations of Racial Statements
Another controversy involves supposed racist statements. It was alleged that Hill at one time made a statement similar to "I would rather have my children starve than have white people buy my albums." MTV has publicly disclaimed the quotation, and after a discussion of the quotation on
The Howard Stern Show, Hill herself called in to the show to refute it. Hill has repeatedly asserted in interviews that the rumor is false, that she never made such statements, would never make such statements and that she is in no way racist .
not to mention, that bitch is just cracked out now.
