50 says their's a double standard with hip-hop and the rest of entertainment!

50 spoke to MTV about the double standard that exist in entertainment as it relates to the heat hip-hop often takes.
“Nobody said anything about Britney Spears saying, “It’s Britney, bitch,” on the beginning of her first Blackout single, “Gimme More.” Let a rapper try to say that at the beginning of his song, chances are he might get censored. I guess they have their rules that apply individually to each artist separately: ‘Oh no, he can’t say that, ’cause he feels like that about that person,’ ” he said. “But it’s not a rule that applies to everybody else. Matter of fact, my next single, I’m going to start it [with], ‘It’s Britney, bitch!‘ ”
50 just dropped his new video for “I Still Will” Don’t think he’s too excited about having to change the title for broadcast purposes.
The real title is ‘I’ll Still Kill,’It’s [renamed] ‘I Still Will‘ for MTV,” he added. “It’s amazing because right after that , they’ll have a group on TV called the Killers. There’s always more pressure on hip-hop music. It’s the stepchild of entertainment. … In fact, my new project with Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Donnie Wahlberg will be out April 12th called ‘Righteous Kill.’ Nobody has a problem with that, but ‘I’ll Still Kill’ is the wrong title for a song. It’s easier to fight one CD, one artist at a time — that’s really what they’re doing.”
