IS there a such thing as DOUBLE STANDARD

you be the judge:


"I was informed that 106 and Park, a source for African Americans to promote their music, have banned Teairra Mari's song Sponsor and other projects from surfacing on their channel. No one else will report because they don't want to put it on blast. I feel bad for the underdogs because they are not given a fair chance and its even worse when your own kind won't promote you. What's bad about Sponsor that overshadows any work that Lil Wayne, Ludacris, and many others have showcased on BET? Why is it, do you think, that booty shaking and such is allowed but a video by a woman encouraging others to make it is bad. Why is it that Lil Wayne can perform "Every Girl In the World" with his daughter on stage, but women artists have to be "appropriate". I understand if they would at least let Teairra come on the show to explain the concept behind the song. It just seems like a shady business where people who have made it have certain control over those that haven't
through shady connections."

Man when validity is present it is HARD to argue with it. I actually am a fan of the song and I dont think it sends the wrong message. Miss Marie never told anyone to go out and do anything, she just used her pen and voice to speak on a "situation" no different than Nas looking through his project window, or Cash Ruling Everything Around Me and Raekwon. Its awful that this is the case in music, and the world today. if something is Hot- PLAY IT regardless of who made it; If you're not gonna censor everyone, then censor no one. Thats my thoughts on it. And For the record that Lil Wayne performance with his daughter and her friends on stage was horrible and inappropriate. BET wont play her video, but we will. Hit it..........
