What's up with Oprah and the rappers?

Oprah has ticked off several hip hop artists including Ludacris, 50 Cent and Ice Cube. Ice Cube has joined the battle against Oprah and why she doesn't give them the time to tell their stories.

The rappers are accusing Oprah Winfrey of being prejudiced against hip hop artists.

Ice Cube has been involved in several projects pitched to her, but never invited to participate. “For Barbershop, she had Cedric the Entertainer and Eve on, but I wasn’t invited. Maybe she’s got a problem with hip-hop.” Cube adds: “She’s had damn rapists, child molesters and lying authors on her show. And if I’m not a rags-to-riches story for her, who is?” According to US Magazine.

Oprah is a POS. She is the queen of racist. She had her "Legends Ball" the other night.... 98% of them were black. 100% of all the wait staff was white. Talk about racist. I hate that bitch

Last time I check Eve was hip-hop also. Oprah just don't like punk ass rappers.

legends ball is all about black people. cause, when you say ''miss america'' or something like that, it means ''miss white america''.

if oprah wants to have a gathering to honor mostly black people, that's fine. she's supporting the african american community, and she's getting all of the middle-aged white women who watch her show to pay a little bit more attention to african american celebrities. whatever, fine by me.

Oprah is a one the greatest filantropist people of african ancestry(USA,CUBA,Brazil,Africa,Caribean,South America)we admire her.Many Rappers are selfish, encourage black on black violence,racism against their own people.Ophra is right,we thinking people of african descent support her position.

This is ridiculous. I was born into poverty. My father left us when I was 11. We lived in subsidized housing and were flat broke throughout my childhood. I had to work very hard to get to where I am today. And guess what? I'M WHITE. Hmmm....where the hell were my millions that I was just supposed to be automaticaly born into, like Vet said? What a jip.

Who cares if you're on Oprah or not.. If these rappers are so big, why do they need Oprah's help?

rappers make the black people look stupid, for people that don't have a lot of access to our culture, they have BET or "our" music, and it makes blacks look silly. Rappers are run by rich white men that are making tons of money off of them to look like idiots! Oprah keep those losers off your show!!!!

It is her choice as to who she admires,supports and encourages. Wether black or white, violent music and the highly drug/gang overtones to punk rappers IS NOT WHO the majority of americans, black or white want to see/hear interviewed. Most of us wish they would just ...go away!!!

Oprah winfrey is one of the most inspirational and influential people in the world today. Here work and her life story has done an inmeasurable about of good for all people; especially Black People.

Has anyone in this forum ever taken an English class?

Oprah is doing what is right. She wants to promote and inspire people with her show. I do not know too many rap videos that do not includes a** shaking and other nonsense. How is any of the things in those videos uplifting? How would the interview go? Go Oprah!

J Josh, I have an English Degree. I suggest you watch where you go with that comment. As to Oprah, she is doing what other cultures have always done...supporting her own. George Washington called African Americans a "species of property". Keep that in mind before you judge.

There are people who get rich and forget where they come from. oprah is not one of them,she is just like us she has a heart a brain and so much more.so you can call oprah an oreo a bitch and some other things but that is what makes her strong.

I'm a big oprah fan and the reason she dosem't allow rappers on her show is because she wants people who inpires people and tells children about what they need to know about life and how ruff the streets and i would know because i'm an unknown rapper

These people are right about oprah she dose what she has to do. oprah likes rappers i don't know where everyone got the idea that she didn;t.when she had ludacris on her show the only thing she said was that she had troble lising to his music and then twisted all around making it seem that she didn't like rap music.oprah has never had rapist on her show it was just a tape. oh yea James Frye maybe a lying aurthur but at least she stood by him.and its not that she dose'nt like rap she can't stand people exspolting women calling the biches and the "n" word so back off on oprah.

hey was up everybody.. i am from Morocco and i just been here for one year now.. i got muche love from Oprah but rappers ain't punks ...and hip hop is a culture it's not violonce as u said.. and rap takes the reality of the street and put it on songs may be you don't know about that bcz you living in a big house and a nice nighberhood...so all you see is riche black people arround but you don't know about the gehtto and the hood and where that rappers lyrics comes from... whos doesn't watche friday or next friday or the barbershop or are we done yet...so do you think that ice cube doesn't deserve to be on oprah,,,or get riche or die trying do you think after getting out from seling drugs and beeing in gangs and following a dream to be an artist... do you think that 50 doesn't deserve to be on oprah... or that song wiche won the grany award runaway ...do you think that luda doesn't deserve to be on oprah...and lot of em lil wayne for New Orleance jayz for the black scollership life rap it up....sometimes she brings gay people there to talk ..so why not rappers.. Oprah is wrong in this... she had to invite them and let them talk and expres thier ideas too...

I have seen rappeers on oprah like p.diddy and chris brown she is the real woman of the world and a wonderful person



October 17, 2007 |  tatayana 
I have never felt a shamed of a black person nor white,but I do now after reading every mean thing that a black and white person has said about oprah.that is a shame and I'm old enough to that.luda took what oprah said the wrong way and created all of this,what oprah said was she as in her had trouble listing to his music she didn't she didn't like it. what realy needs to happen is we as black people should know who we are and quit hating on oprah like a shit.
