Banning words in music There has been a recent news article where a well respected and long term leader of the Hip Hop scene  wants to ban particular words in music's lyrics because of the offense they can cause to certain people.  The words Simmons wanted to ban were Bitch, Ho and Nigga as they are deemed to be racist and sexist. Now  i partially agree with Simmons on this but the idea of censorship in music heavily unnerves me and it's a  dangerous road to go down.
