BOYCOTT UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP & THEIR SUBSIDIARIES FOR USING HIP HOP TO DISRESPECT THE HISTORY OF...

Dear Friends, We have collected over 1200 signatures thus far, please begin to talk about this issue, promote and gain more signatures for our cause. The masses are ready to see corporations be accountable for the negative messages they promote. For those of you who don't know, on February 13, 2014, an artist signed to Universal, by the name of Nikki Minaj, released an album cover desecrating the memory of Malcolm X at the approval of her labels Cash Money Records, Young Money and Universal Def Jam. Several days later Rick Ross the former police officer pretending to be a drug dealer from the "hood", released a song disrespecting the memory of Trayvon Martin, at the approval of his labels Maybac Music and Universal Def Jam. Months earlier, Russell Simmons, the co-founder of Def Jam, promoted a "sex tape" which depicted Harriet Tubman having sex with slave masters to free slaves.This type of blatant disrespect should not be tolerated by anyone. Kids of all colors black, white, and brown are falling into the trap that some Hip Hop artists and labels are promoting. Therefore, we are petitioning Universal, Def Jam, Cash Money, Young Money, Geffen, Interscope and all other subsidiaries of Universal as we are sick and tired of Hip Hop being used to promote the degradation of all people, the high incarceration of black people and the corruption of youth. We Call on Lucian Grainge to stop promoting Hip Hop Artists who are being used as puppets to destroy what we created. We object to the use of our creative works being manipulated to promote Anti-African American Pride, Violence, Rape, and/or the degradation of African American Men or Women or Men and Women of any other culture. We demand a public apology from Lucian Grainge and a percentage of funding from all Hip Hop Albums to go to community programs to create jobs and resources within the African American Community and other communities who have been influenced by this negativity or we will not support anything distributed by the Universal Music Group, subsidiaries, or affiliates including but not limited to music, movies, youtube videos, or any other product or service you extend to the public. We ask for your support by signing the petition and boycotting Universal Music Group, their subsidiaries and products. Please have everyone in your household sign and SHARE***SHARE****SHARE**** WITH ALL EMAIL CONTACTS AND ON ALL SOCIAL NETWORKS
Thank you,
