Ja Rule Challenges Congressional Meeting on Hip-Hop, "Let's Talk About These F-ing Shows Promoting Homosexuality"

Ja Rule recently spoke out about the upcoming U.S. Congressional hearing set to discuss the lyrical content and imagery of African-American women in hip-hop.

As SOHH previously reported, the aforementioned hearing entitled "From Imus to Industry: The Business of Stereotypes and Degradation" will take place on September 25 and will investigate media "stereotypes and degradation" of black women in hip-hop and the entertainment industry.

Top industry executives including Philippe Dauman of Viacom, Doug Morris of Universal Music Group, Edgar Bronfman, Jr. of Warner Music Group and music mogul Master P are expected to appear as witnesses in the hearing.

In a recent interview with Complex magazine, Ja Rule offered his objections to the hearings.

"They got my man Doug Morris under fire and sh!t, they got him going down to go speak to Congress about hip-hop lyrics, are you fucking serious?" Ja said. "There's a f--king black kid right now about to get 25 years for having a fight with some white kids over hanging the nooses over the white tree, let's get to that. Let's get into sh-t like that, because that's what's tearing up America, not me calling a woman a b--ch or a h-e on my rap songs."

"And if it is, then we need to go step to Paramount, and f--king MGM, and all of these other motherf--kers that's making all of these movies and we need to go step to MTV and Viacom, and lets talk about all these f--king shows that they have on MTV that is promoting homosexuality, that my kids can't watch this sh-t," he continued. "Dating shows that's showing two guys or two girls in mid-afternoon. Let's talk about s--t like that! If that's not f--king up America, I don't know what is."

"There's a lot of issues we can address besides hip-hop, but they want to put everything on us like we're the problem," Ja added. "This is going to be a shameless f--king plug, but I said, 'when everyone wants to point the finger, and ask why there's so much corruption, they only need to look in the mirror.' It starts with themselves."
You know, while I understand what he's trying to say I just wish he wasn't cursing every other word. It makes him come off looking like an idiot. For the record, I don't have a fucking problem with cursing. I just think that there's a fucking time and fucking place for cursing.

Would have been better if Al Swearengen was saying that. Plus, it could have used a 'few cocksuckers' or 'cunts' in there for good measure.

Ja Rule's an idiot.

Also, are those shows really promoting homosexuality? I was sorta with him until that statement. He comes off like a homophobe there and I hope that wasn't his intention.

Not that I'm an expert, but isn't Ja Rule currently about as relevant to hip-hop as Biz Markie?

Hilarious. Just hilarious.

So if Congress doesn't sell platinum this session are they going to retire from the business?

"Comes off like a homophobe"? He is a homophobe with those statements.

Why are we talking about Ja Rule again anyway? I enjoyed his sudden fall into obscurity.

Less relevant because Biz is on that new kids show that is apparently great.

I take it you don't follow rap music at all.

An idiot with years of "You're actually a homosexual" battle rhymes thrown at him.

I think he's just trying to change what comes up when you google 'ja rule gay'.

The whole gay-bashing thing isn't helping either. It's a very ugly side of hip hop.

I have no clue what that show is but good for Biz Markie.

In the case of Ja Rule I always figure once they become a Seagal co-star their street cred has long since vanished. Same thing happened with Treach.

Man, if Rep. Henry Waxman heard that shit. He would lay down the kind of smackdown only a 15-term congressman can give. Give'em hell Henry!

Nope. Not at all. At least not in the MTV way I guess. Mostly local.

Look, leaving Seagal out of this, if I hear anyone disparage Love and a Bullet, this thread will be full of violence.

I think Barney Frank should be allowed to fight Ja Rule. Naked. First one to get hard loses/wins.

Is Treach's blind hitman movie any good?



I tell ya, Nia Peeples just does not age. She looks as good now as she did during the "Party Machine" days.

He's not blind, the sunglasses just suck. Also, it's actually pretty funny, for a low-budget affair. Let's put it in terms that I think will speak to you: if I had $6.99, and I had to chose between Love and a Bullet or any of the PM films, it wouldn't even be a competition.

"Any of the PM films?" I find that hard to believe. Have you seen RECOIL?

CSPAN usually repeats these bullshit hearings at night, right? Or am I gonna have to DVR it during the day? I don't miss anything Master P has to say on the issue.
