Wow! Extortion in the rap world. Who would have ever guessed.

Cool. Now the world knows that Pepsi negotiates with kidnappers/extortionists/terrorists!

Ludacris. Apt summary of the situation.

Well, they are just following in the footsteps of Rev. Jackson. He's made a pretty good living at extortion, and no one (except Bill O'Reilly, for some odd reason) seems to care.

I don't drink that s%*t and I don't own the stock...so boycot away. Good luck getting Pepsi to sponsor any future rappers.

Hrmm, so Pepsi bends to consumer pressure by signing a musician that appeals to them, then they bend to pressure from Bill O'Reilly because said musician has objectionable lyrics, then they bend to pressure from the musician's label because getting rid of the ad is what... racist? How about we boycott Def Jam for trivializing the use of boycotts?

Whole lotta bending goin' on.

Russel Simmons is such a whiney loser it makes me sick.

"whaaaah! where's my slice? I want more than equal rights! i want everything for free!"

Ozzy Osbourne is allowed to have bleeped out curse words on TV because it is juxtaposed against a show that portrays a family that actually loves each other. Maybe if that communities Russel Simmons so desperately wants to win and give slavery reparations to had a stronger family unit, they wouldn't be living in ghettos

Furhtermore, Ozzy Osbourne was selling millions of records before Ludcris was born. Its an example of just deserves. For Ludicris and Russel Simmons to say there is a double standard when Ludicriss' videos are sexist and materialistic is just pathetic. When Ludicris has a wife and kids and a storied career, he can have curse words bleeped out on a stupid commercial. Right now he is one step away from a nobody who trying to define his career with tired cliches and shallow content.
