    RE: Follow the Money

    Well, dont you sound like a divorced white woman with a chip on your shoulder who has passed the chip down to your daughter. Many rappers have their own record labels. Even if they didn't, are you saying that old rich white guys not only control the message, but also control the buying public's tastes ? Why would sexist/racist old white guys allow so many black and white women to be so successful ? Why don't they control the message from their female stars ? You need to take a serious look at your sexist views.
