Russell Simmons appear on Bill O’Reilly’s show, The O’Reilly Factor recently. When asked why he chose to ban the n word, “bitch,” and “ho” from the radio, the hip hop mogul replied:
“I’m asking that what we give to mainstream radio and television…we edit and delete those words for mainstream consumption.
“I do not want to sensor the artists…I think that children, parents, and everyone else who doesn’t understand the hip hop community should have a choice. There are some words, 7 words, that you can’t use. I’m hopeful that after the hip hop community decides that ‘bitches,’ ‘hoes,’ and the n word are not good for mainstream consumption…for now we’ll start with hip hop.
“…After the hip hop community voluntarily takes those words out, it may help all of us to heal.”
