Let's not place the blame solely on record labels becasue the vast majority of the PUBLIC (CONSUMERS) accepts these images. You all are on here complaining about what record labels feed the public whenever we as a society accept the black man holding a gun, accept the hypersexual black man & make it apart of the Black Community. If we want record labels to change then we as ppl (ESPECIALLY BLACK PPL) should change our own perceptions of ourselves.
