MTV R some jiveass turkeys.
in the early 80's they would'nt play
any black artists until michael jackson
became so big that they would lose 2 much
money if they did'nt played it.
they're just a bunch of hypocrytes.
peace/manki


Exactly. It's all about the money. When convicted cop killers become a marketable commodity, MTV will be all over it. Let's hope that never happens, although some people are trying to see that it does.

Shut the fuck up. Do you know anything about the case !!!
Do you know anything the Philadelpia police and the way they and mayor Rizzo you to kick black people's asses.

Go read a book!!!



go read a book? go learn to write!


It takes more effort to learn than it does to say things such as "shut the fuck up." I don't think that learning is high on the priorities list for some people.

I support MTV, and not cop killers.

Well, let me rephrase that. I don't support MTV. But the rest still stands.

I *do* know the story. He remains a cop-killer in my eyes. But I may have to change my stance if Nep2nes is agreeing with me biggrin

"MTV's violation of the first amendment right of Hip-Hop veteran Public Enemy..."

Huh? Without state action, there is no First Amendment violation. MTV is a private entity, and it may refuse to air a video for any reason, or no reason at all.

Anyway, has it been established that the Mumia Abu-Jamal footage was the reason behind MTV's decision? I suspect that MTV declined to play the video for other reasons (such as, "Most of our teeny-bopper viewers aren't interested in Public Enemy.").
Please note: effective March 21, 2010, I've stepped down from my prince.org Moderator position.
