[news] Rapper named "Taliban"

[Memo]

Cam'ron, Master P, Taliban Shoot 'Bout It, Bout It' Video
NEW YORK — Man, those sights of summer. The sun beaming down on the pavement, a lovely lady in a tank top licking an icy to beat the heat, frenzied children running around Harlem's Battleground Park oblivious to the 100-degree temperature and the Taliban out in full force, acting even more rambunctious than the kiddies. (Click for photos from the shoot.)

"140 Lennox/ You know they bout it, bout it/ Taliban, and up top/ You know they rowdy, rowdy" Master P yelled into the camera, with Cam'ron, the Diplomats and members of Harlem's 145 Street Taliban bouncing around him.

P made the trek from New Orleans to New York on Tuesday to appear in the video for the Diplomats' remake of his 1996 classic, "Bout It, Bout It." It's the first single from their upcoming release, Ground Zero, due October 15.


What the hell is this crap. Rapper names himself Taliban and his album is "Ground Zero." This is ****ing bull****. Using something like that just for publicity. The best reason they can come up with for being called Taliban is "he feels like he's been at war on the streets."

when i was at the warped tour, i saw this band called "columbyne." i dunno how long they had the name, but it seemed in poor taste to me. maybe they have their reasons, but an unfortunate name like that you think they'd rethink after what happened.

Yeah, everyones a little sensitive now, but i mean lets put it in perspective, UTMemo who posted this thread has a picture of Kennedy being shot in the head for an avatar.

Ya you're right. I don't really care that much :P. It's the damn Political Correctness, it's seeped into me, get it out! get it out! It's more retarded than it is offensive. I mean, cause you really know the bastard's just using it for publicity.

Yep, rap really has gone to crap. Some people out there have crazy talent for rhyming but their songs aren't about anything. At least not many of them.

Unfortunatly by naming himself Taliban he as aggrandizing the Taliban, people who are still at war with us. What would they have done to a man in NY shouting prase to Japan in the middle of the street durring WW2? They probably whould have lynched him.
As far as I am concerned the rapper Taliban has declaired his alegance to an enemy of the United States. If someone pops him like a zit... kudos to the one who does it.
