"So don't believe what Ren say
Cause he's going out like Kunte Kinte
But I got a whip for ya, Toby
Used to be my homie, now you act like you don't know me
It's a case of divide-and-conquerCause you let a Jew break up my crew
House nigga gotta run and hide"

LOL @ 'anti-semitic content'.
Was his manager a Jew? - Yes.
Did he break up his crew? - Yes.
Said manager sued for that factual lyric IIRC, and was roundly dismissed in court.
Meanwhile, R. Kelly out in the streets pissing on chicks and locking them up in dungeons...

Calling a Jew a Jew doesn't make it anto Jew.

What if you replaced the word Jew with christian? Is it anti Christian lyrics?

Here's another example of their selectively applied policy.

Loaded up the forty-fo', yo
Then I straight smoked the ho
Cause I'm a real nigga, but I guess you figure
I was soft and she thank me
Coughed to the boss and got tossed
One less bi*ch you gotta worry about
She's outta here and that's how it turns out
Wut.

The fuck outta here with this nonsense. It's rap lyrics.

They cut r Kelly's music because he's a creeper pedo rapist and they don't wanna associate with him. It's not rocket science

that is a bit silly considering what he did was perfectly legal in countries all over the world. An 18 yr old banging a 16 and 17 yr old? that is legal even in England let alone countries with 13 and 14 as the legal age of consent. America is retarded, and so many teens aren't waiting till the legal age of consent before having sex anyway. If you're both underage but one has been having sex for years and the other is a virgin, how is that ok but an 18 yr old virgin that sleeps with a 16yr old sexually active girl is pedophilia?

I can't stand the kid but he got a bit of a raw deal there and that's most likely why he was given a deal and his "credibility" hasn't taken the same kind of hit as it would've done if he was actually fucking kids.

Ice Cube has paid his dues and is a good family man, has been for decades. R.Kelly is a deviant incestous weirdo ducking justice!!

Hold up..... Hold up..... Is TMZ up in here defending R Kelly? Are you serious? Sorry you're a upset R Kelly fan, but that dirty motherfucker needs to be in jail, don't ever put him and Ice Cube in the same category.
