Red Nation – The Game

The Game’s “Red Nation” came out on April 12, 2012. BET, MTV, and a few other stations banned the song thanks to its references to violence and gang lifestyle. This did not seem to affect the popularity of the song since it still got more than 100 million YouTube plays. It is awesome to hear that the Game said that he wished that his songs got banned more often to entice people to give his work a listen.

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow – The Shirelles

This is a legendary song! “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” by the Shirelles became the first black female musical group song to reach the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 list. It talked about the day after an intimate night between a man and a woman. In those days, the lyrics were deemed salacious. This was the reason radio stations banned the song, which still sold more than a million copies.
