Twenty years ago, Jerry Heller, music manager for rap group NWA, received a letter in the mail from the FBI saying that their album, Straight Outta Compton encouraged violence against law enforcement and that the entire law-enforcement community felt strongly against their album. Just last month, however, The Supreme Court took a case against the FCC because it had fined the Fox Network for airing “obscenities” at the 2002 Billboard Music Awards. The Network aired the “f-word” and the Supreme Court has to decide whether the indecencies that were aired were obscene enough for the FCC to fine the network for airing them. In only a few decades, much has changed in the media and the world has become more accepting of the liberal changes in television, movies and music. There has been a large influx of sex, drug-use, bad language and violence in entertainment in recent years in many different forms of media. Twenty years ago, movies like “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” would probably have never been made or widely accepted Senior Edmundo Gallegos says that he wants a more censored media for the future. “Before people used to kiss on TV and it was like ‘oooh’ and now it’s just expected,” Gallegos said, referring to the widespread sexual content on television and in movies. On the other hand, some like senior Vaheh Mardirosian believe that things are fine with the media just the way they are. “If you don’t like what’s on the TV then change the channel,” Mardirosian said. In 2007, Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em released his debut rap song “Crank Dat” and reached number 4 on the Billboard 200. While many people, including rapper Ice-T, criticized Soulja Boy’s work for being “garbage” and killing hip-hop many critics were also against his lyrics that created slang phrases like “super-man dat hoe” to figuratively express sexual acts without getting in trouble with the FCC and still allowing the lyrics to be played on the radio. Explicity stating the sexual act would have had Soulja Boy’s song censored immediately. “I didn’t like the music and thought it was stupid, so I didn’t listen to him,” Mardirosian said. “I don’t think that people should care what he says.”
