Walked down the main street in Oslo today. A shop was playing hip hop as muzak, and it was an explicit track. "Mothaf***a b**ch n**ga" galore as you take an afternoon stroll in a European city. Doubt they would've let the track play for long if it had been a Norwegian pop song using that kind of language. Everyone speaks fluent English, but American pop culture gets a free pass. "It's America. What can you do?"
