On September 25th, Congress will host a hearing titled “From Imus to Industry: The Business of Stereotypes and Degradation” in an attempt to determine if hip-hop imagery (and other kinds of media) is damaging to women, particularly African-American women, Variety reports. Honchos like Philippe Dauman of Viacom, Doug Morris of Universal Music Group and Edgar Bronfman Jr. of Warner Music Group are expected to appear, as well as clean-hip-hop-advocate Master P, the only artist who has agreed to participate so far.

“I want to talk to executives at these conglomerates who’ve never taken a public position on what they produce,” said Rep. Bobb Rush (D-Ill), chairman of the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection, which is holding the hearing. “After a series of long conversations and other communications, they know this hearing is going to go forward, and they will be coming — reluctantly, if I might add.” Everyone from Snoop Dogg to MIMS to Russell Simmons to your grandma had an opinion on slang and misogyny when Don Imus got himself fired from the airwaves in April, and now it’s the government’s turn to weigh in. Adding that the hearing is “not an anti-artist hearing, or anti-music or anti-youth hearing,” Rush said, “I respect the First Amendment, but rights without responsibility is anarchy, and that’s much of what we have now. It’s time for responsible people to stand up and accept responsibility.”
