50 Cent Asks: If Britney Spears Can Use The B-Word, Why Can't I?

Typical dumb shit.

Quote:

Obviously there's been so much controversy surrounding the N-word lately, but when it comes to the B-word, 50 Cent senses something of a double standard. The leader of the G-Unit, while on tour in London, quipped with a grin recently that nobody said anything about Britney Spears saying, "It's Britney, bitch," on the beginning of her first Blackout single, "Gimme More." Let a rapper try to say that at the beginning of his song, chances are he might get censored.
"I guess they have their rules that apply individually to each artist separately: 'Oh no, he can't say that, 'cause he feels like that about that person,' " he said. "But it's not a rule that applies to everybody else. Matter of fact, my next single,I'm going to start it [with], 'It's Britney, bitch!' "

50 just dropped his newest video, for "I Still Will." Don't think he's too excited about having to change the title for broadcast purposes.
"The real title is 'I'll Still Kill,' " he said defiantly, pointing out the name of the track as it appears on his Curtis LP.
"It's [renamed] 'I Still Will' for MTV," he added. "It's amazing because right after that [video plays], they'll have a group on TV called the Killers. There's always more pressure on hip-hop music. It's the stepchild of entertainment. ... In fact, my new project with Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Donnie Wahlberg will be out April 12th called 'Righteous Kill.' Nobody has a problem with that, but 'I'll Still Kill' is the wrong title for a song. It's easier to fight one CD, one artist at a time — that's really what they're doing."
50 has been on tour overseas for about 25 dates and is only halfway done.
"The tour is great," he said. "I'm really enjoying myself. I've had to make some minor changes because I've been using a live band in parts, so it's a really different show [from] anything I've done before. I wanted to make sure it was a different show to what everyone has seen in the past. There's a lot more showmanship this time. I feel good about it. But as I change territories, I change the songs."

I don't see what's wrong with his analogy really.

His analogy blows, especially coming from a black person that uses the word nigger every 3 words.

Meh I don't care, both should be shot.

One could argue about the proportionality, but he makes a valid point that artists are not treated equally. The censors set examples and often use popular rap artists for it, like 50 cent and Eminem. I often see rappers getting censored for saying bitch, nigger and fuck, but those same words don't always get censored when other artists use them.

And thus you have modern America, where political correctness makes everyone, and everything, seem dumb as shit.

And I agree with Iain. We should have celebrity knife fights. It's like monkey knife fights, but with celebrities.

Maybe a crash car derby? She seems to have been practicing up on running people over and running into shit. Put them both in a couple Mercedes SUV's and see who survives.

If 50 can you use the B-word then Britney should be able to use the N-word

I agree with you, he actually has a valid point.

Well since political correctness is based on people being offended and not logic reason, it becomes completely fucked up and impossible to moderate. Then the argument boils down to the context the word was used in and who was offended by it.

So it has to work one of two ways. Either everyone needs to grow up and stop being pussies about what other people say, or we can continue to censor every word that could possibly be offensive to someone else.

The first option is the easiest and most logical. When you stop being offended by a word, the word loses its power. People that are offended by the word "nigger" are the people that give the word its power. The word will never die and it will never lose its power, because people in general are immature pathetic crybabies that can't handle a word. The same goes for the word "bitch". Its not hard to understand. If Spears can't write a song about "I'm sick of niggers", 50 can't write a song about "pimping bitches and hoes".

Fuck me, I'm sick of this shit. If you don't like what somebody is saying, DON"T LISTEN. Turn the channel. Don't buy the album. Stick your fingers in your ear and scream lalalalalala.

Anyway, I have been called a cracker so many times its not funny, but I'm not going to cry about it. The word doesn't bother me, nor does the intent behind the word. What pisses me off, is I can be verbally attacked by a word, but I am not fire back because I am a white male. It is almost like every group in the country has the right to slap me in the face whenever they feel like it, but I am not allowed to slap the shit out of them right back. Thats fucked up.

I have had worse words than racial slurs thrown at me in my life. Hands down, the worst word anybody has ever used against me was "fatass" when I was a little kid. That shit cuts to the bone, and anybody can use it. Well, you can't stop kids from being kids. You can't watch every person at all times to make sure they don't use a hurtful word. The only thing you can do it learn to ignore it, or learn how to fight back.

Just as our rights and civil liberties get stripped away one after another, so will words that we use. It makes no sense either, and I'll tell you why. Words are nothing more than symbols. They are symbols for ideas in our minds. You can ban the word, but you can't ban the idea the word symbolized. So you ban a word, then a new word is invented or an older word is recycled
to take its place. You can make it politically incorrect to call Britney a bitch then tomorrow someone coins some obscure word like "brick" to symbolize what bitch use to mean. Pop culture spreads the word like the flu then everyone is saying "Yo dude, I'm going downtown and we gonna get us some bricks tonight". Rappers will be cutting albums rapping about "fucking these freak nasty bricks".

Then some dumb fucker will raise a stick about how someone called her a brick, then they ban that word. It will never end.

In a nutshell, people are dumb and society is ever dumber.

MeatZatk · 11-19-2007, 12:35 PM

Matter of fact, my next single,I'm going to start it [with], 'It's Britney, bitch!'

I thought that after Kanye's album outsold 50's, he was done making songs.

Don't say that! The very idea is horrific. Remember the scene from Demolition Man were John got a ticket every time he used a curse word?

Quick! Think about Cartman with curse-word-generated-super-powers.

Dude, that was an inspiring rant...lol.

I know what you mean though, especially the part about you can ban the word but not the idea. Its like they think if they ban the word "nigger" that racism is gonna go away...thats retarded.

If anything this PC shit is gonna make it worse. If you ban "nigger", a large percentage of people who use that word are gonna be racists, and who are they gonna blame for being told not to use that word?

The niggers! "Damn niggers crying about use calling them that, motherfuckers!" for gods sake...

People are just too soft these days. I used to work with this guy who was in his fifties, he told me that when he was my age he worked in a quarry and there was a few black guys there. Whenever they walked past he'd swear and call them niggers, theyd laugh and call him a pale twat or something, then he'd laugh, and theyd go for a beer.

EVERYBODY rips the piss out of everybody else. Its harmless fun. You make fun of eachother, laugh at how stupid you all are, and then hang out some more.

When did that become wrong? Same as its the idea behind the words that count, if there ISNT a racist idea behind the word nigger, there should be no harm in it.

I called one of my gay friends a queer before, he was shocked for a second and put his hand up to his mouth in a gay as hell way, noticed what he did, and pissed himself laughing. He IS a queer! I dont mean it in a bad way, that is what he is, and its funny. Suddenely a few other people who overheard are calling me a homophobe even though the guy i said it to didnt give two shits!

People will be offended by shit even if it doesnt fucking apply to them. Its these self-righteous asshole cowards that propagate this crap.
