Media Questions Of The Week

1. Wouldn’t it be a good idea if fans just forgot about the LL Cool J and Brad Paisley “Accidental Racist” song because even though it was well-intentioned it oversimplifies racism?

2. Was Jay-Z being hip-hop in his “Open Letter” lyrics about his close relationship with President Obama or did he go too far?

3. Now that Reebok has dropped Rick Ross will this start a trend of more rappers being scrutinized for their lyrics by potential sponsors?

4. How can Johnny Rotten say he will not be Margaret Thatcher’s “Enemy in death” when his band The Sex Pistols released Anarchy In The UK?

Erik Parker of Radio.com spoke with women’s groups NOW and Ultraviolet as they organized outside of the Reebok store in NYC on Friday to protest Reebok’s choice of Rick Ross as a spokesperson regarding the “U.O.N.E.O.” lyric controversy. One wonders by the look of the gentleman guarding the door if Reebok will really receive the 72,000 signatures and comments in the box.



New Reebok Classics release – “Triple Black” Kamikaze out Friday, July 8th

Reebok is ready to release details on the new Triple Black Kamikaze style dropping in stores on Friday, July 8th.

The Triple Black Kamikaze is a monochromatic all black hi-top sneaker with an upper made of leather, nylon and suede. It incorporates 3-pod Hexalite sole technology for superior cushioning, and systematically placed flex frooves on the outsole for added traction.

These are also the kicks that Rick Ross customized with gold paint and wore during the Hot 97 Summer Jam in NYC earlier this month.

The new Triple Black Kamikaze retails for $100 and will be available at these retailers:
