Ban the use of the word "Nigger, Nigga" in an attempt to eradicate the slur, from rappers and their music.

Created by M.D. on February 15, 2014

Hip-Hop fans have come together to help ban the use of the word "Nigger" from all Hip Hop artists who continue to use it in their music. Rapper Nicki Minaj released a song and video "No looking A*s N*ggas". Nicki Minaj also used an iconic Malcolm X photograph. Members of Malcolm X’s family and estate sent statements denouncing her use of the historic photo of Malcolm X looking out the window holding a gun. Along with the offensive title, the artist also used the "N" word more than 20 times in the same 2-3 minute video. HIP HOP was at one time the place where you went to get positive info on our heroes. Now rappers use the term an euphemism for the word "nigger": Her and other rappers use of the highly offensive n-word in a music video has to stop.
