*Civil rights activist Najee Ali , executive director of Project Islamic Hope a leading Los Angeles civil rights group is calling upon the removal of the newly released single ” Bitch Better Have My Money,” performed by Hip Hop singer Rihanna,” from the playlist of Real 92.3 a new Los Angeles Hip Hop N’ R&B radio station.
“Our organization has received dozen of complaints from parents and community members concerning the unedited version of Rihanna’s “Bitch Better Have My Money” being played on the airwaves by radio station Real 92.3.in Los Angeles. Our organization believes in free speech and freedom for artists to express themselves , but we also believe in corporate responsibility and that radio stations should be held accountable by community members when they play objectionable content over the airwaves that promote a negative lifestyle to our impressionable youth. Our organization is launching a “Clean the air waves” initiative were we will monitor Real 92.3 and other urban radio stations in Los Angeles that play song’s that promote misogyny, gang violence homophobia, the use of the N-word , alcohol and drug use, . We plan on meeting with radio station managers to encourage that
they only play the clean version of songs with questionable content,” stated Najee Ali of Project Isamic Hope.

Then they should listen to Radio Disney.

When Katy Perry's deeply religious parents banned her and her sister from listening to music, they let them only listen to christian radio.

Why rolling your eyes at me? If you want family-friend music, listen to a family-friendly radio station such as Radio Disney.

It's like complaining about seeing people having sex on a porn site.

Exactly. St Rihanna is a global superstar with massive sales and attention. Radio should play her.

Matter fact, 'Bitch Better Have My Money' is an instant world-wide No 1 sales hit without promotion and remains at the top in the country concerned.

That is not the point. Whether i am a fan or not, that is not the problem.

'I'm not a fan of XXX and YYY, thus no-one should like or be exposed to them.'

That is not the point. Whether i am a fan or not, that is not the problem and that is the bottom line.

Rhiannas music often portrays bad atititudes.

Islam is not misogynist you are just an Islamophobe. As for homophobia Islam is against that so you can say it's homophobic if you like. The reality is Hip-Hop is bad for black people in particular it promotes nothing but ignorance, racism, sexism, violence, drug usage etc.

Rhiannas music often portrays bad atititudes.

'Unfaithful' encourages people not to cheat.

'Umbrella' shows people long-distance relationships could work with love.

'Shut Up and Drive' promotes concentrated driving to minimise road accidents.

'Don't Stop The Music' makes sure that customers in clubs get their money worth.

'Take A Bow' empowers people in unhealthy relationships in leave.

'Disturbia' asks people not to disturb other people.

'Live Ur Life' promotes that people should live their lives instead of hating on other people.

'Russian Roulette' promotes bravery.

'Rude Boy' opens up the window for females to talk about their natural needs.

'Love The Way You Lie' is an account of a domestic violence victim and an attempt to show people the harm of those behaviour.

'Only Girl (In The World)' empowers females in relationships.

'Man Down' encourages criminals to confess their sins.

'We Found Love' allows people to properly deal with breakups, sees that they focus on the good bits, not the bad, and to move on.

'Diamonds' empowers people's self-esteem.

'Right Now' urges people to live the moment.

'The Monster' tackles the 'monster' in ourselves.

'Can't Remember To Forget You' encourages people to speak better English.

'FourFive Seconds' introduces people to a Beatle and good music.

'Bitch Better Have My Money' demands that people who owe people money should pay them back.

Who are you to decide what is good or bad attitudes? Are you His Holiness The Pope, the King of Vatican? Or The Most Reverend and Right Honourable Archbishop of Canterbury? Or Her Majesty The Queen, Supreme-Governor of Church of England, Defender of The Faith? Messiah The Son of God Jesus Christ, The Son of Man?

The site looks like bulls***.

Even if it is true then this guy needs to lower his gaze and mind his business.

I don't understand how it even affects him. Her life, not his.
