do you mean HBCU's (Historically Black Colleges and Universities)?

Well, they didn't have millions to give...

Maybe they have no problem with white-on-white violence. Or they think the Hot Boys play up stereotypes that all young black men are drug dealers, while there are no concurrent stereotypes that all white men are hit men (John Travolta's role). Who knows?

the difference is, the artist creates the content, which they can control (by making or not making it), while artists do not control their labels' business practices (unless you mean artists should do some investigation before signing).

Eh? How are we "all" responsible for music a select minority of people make?
