Ah but those rappers are still making millions for the record companies as we speak- no one marches to get them to stop giving them a platform. Imus is screwed- he cannot work in the field again for years most likely ( as soon as someone hires him the protests will most likely begin anew . Again I do not like Imus,the issue just smacks of hypocrisy to me.



Not so. Here's one example Clicky

"Feeling the heat from activist groups, Time Warner (Interscope's parent company) refused to distribute Death Row's next release, Dogg Food by Tha Dogg Pound, which was originally scheduled for release in June 1995. The album was subsequently pushed back, while Death Row and Interscope made an outside deal with Priority Records to distribute that album upon its release.

The controversy swirling around Death Row and Interscope made Time Warner's shareholders nervous, so much so that in late 1995, the company sold all of its stake in Interscope Records to MCA Music Entertainment (later renamed Universal Music Group). Not wanting to take on the scrutiny that plagued Time Warner, MCA too initially refused to distribute many of Interscope's Death Row releases; including All Eyez on Me, the much anticipated forthcoming Death Row debut album by Tupac Shakur."
