Singers/Rappers who riddle their songs with expletives so every other lyric is blanked out when played on the radio, and you can't play the CD in the car with your kids in it.

I used to think Tipper Gore was a prude, but maybe she did have a point.

also, intros, outros, and any "interlude" on hip hop albums. are these things part of rappers' contracts? do they realize they sound stupid?

Actually, Tipper and company did more to make explicit lyrics more prevalent. Before her "work" most artists knew that they couldn't put that kind of stuff on their albums. Now, they think that anything goes, because it will have a label on it. The same with labeling movies. Before ratings, there was little offensive in the mainstream, but since it can be categorized, anything goes.
