Title: With Imus gone, critics turning to rap (AP)
Description:

Rapper Mims poses backstage at the MTV Times Square Studios Tuesday, March 27, 2007 in New York.  Now that radio talk show host Don Imus has been silenced (for the moment), many are wondering whether his critics will move down the radio dial to take on hip-hop, lending momentum to the growing movement against misogyny and sexism in rap. Pointing out that Mims uses  'ho' and worse epithets in his chart-topping song 'This Is Why I'm Hot,' columnist Michelle Malkin asked: 'What kind of relief do we get from this deadening, coarsening, dehumanizing barrage from young, black rappers and their music-industry enablers?'  (AP Photo/Jason DeCrow)AP - Fighting in vain to keep his job, radio host Don Imus claimed that rappers routinely "defame and demean black women" and call them "worse names than I ever did."
