It’s really sickening and nauseating to see mine and others tax dollars going towards the utter garbage.

Damn.. I REALLY misunderstood the lyrics.

The blacks are the only ones who can change their culture and reality. A government appointed "task force" of rappers, ain't the ones to get it done.
It's the regular, everyday, black men AND women who can accomplish this.
Realistically, it will never happen. The majority are fine with being victims and never applying themselves to anything, expecting handouts. Hence "reparations".
When shite pops off, that will be one of the first problems to be dealt with.

Will the task force convince rappers to stop referring to proud Nubian queens as bitches and hos?

Eazy-E missed his true calling by about 30 years. Right here would be a great pitch for the task force, taking a snippet from Eazy's song "Nobody Move". I just feel the unity and empowerment for the black community to do excellent things by hearing these words:

I said damn, then the air got thinner
Only thought in my mind, was goin' up in her
The suspense was makin' me sick
She took her panties down and the bitch had a dick
I said damn, dropped the gat from my hand
(What I thought was a bitch, was nothin' but a man)
Put the gat to his legs, all the way up his skirt
Because this is one **** that I had to hurt

Groups like The Black Music Action Coalition (BMAC), the Recording Academy and the Black Music Collective have also joined forces with Bowman and Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) in calling for the passage of the Restoring Artistic Protection (RAP) Act, a bill that would limit the admissibility of an artist’s creative or artistic expression against them in court.

In addition to Bowman, the task force will be led by Democratic Reps. Hank Johnson (Ga.), Delia Ramirez (Ill.) and Andre Carson (Ind.). No Republicans are part of the task force.

A coalition of Democrats are using the power of stupidity to launder more money to their pockets under the guise of pandering useless shite to black people while also promising to ignore the problems of the majority of this country because.. anti racism.

Sounds like Hip Hop is about taking money from those who are productive and giving it to those who aren't.

Public Enemy and KRS One were doing that back in the 80's.

If someone white recommended this, it would have been called "stereotyping" and therefore, racist.

This is laughable and really kind of sad if you ask me.
