I know enough about music to tell you that blacks do not own Warner Brothers and other big distributors that spend millions to promote a genre of music and it was these companies that excluded other forms of music from their catalogs.

I know enough about the music business to tell you that musicains and singers listen to the A&R reps and give them the kind of music they request.

Warner Brothers created "gangsta rap".

Go bitch at their coporate excecutives.

The rappers are just taking whatever job the corparation is offering and they didn't want any love songs.
