Another TRU O.G. of DFW rap. He gives you the exact truth, without question. I remember listening to him on K104 back in 2000 on that GYLO remix... well - you should hear him NOW!! Boi got HEAT

MISTA LONG CENSORED BY MP3ARTISTSONLINE.COM
DALLAS: The song âF* Sumthinââ written by Mista Long was censored Wednesday by MP3artistsonline.com after the site had received approximately 30 email complaints and threats of legal action. After holding the number 1 and 2 spots on the charts for several weeks, the owner of the site deleted the song. MP3artistsonline.com management stated, âThe song is nasty and MP3artististsonline.com is a family oriented site.â
âIâm just trying to get my music heard. So if people think my music is offensive or my lyrics are explicit you have the option of clicking stop on your media player. By me being number 1 on the charts letâs me know that most listeners donât find the song offensive. This is the same site that promotes underground rock and punk bands that use satanic symbolism for icons and logos", states Mista Long.
Blacklight management stands behind Mista Long and believes itâs one of his strongest records on his upcoming debut album âChronicles of a Hustlaâ. Drew Diggs, managing partner of Blacklight says, âWe stand behind Mista Longâs music and so does the First Amendment. All cutting edge artists that push the envelope are perceived to have questionable content; ask Prince. The song had a visible parental advisory warning logo beside the link, so we did the responsible thing. Mista Long is the voice of the streets, so we donât apologize that his lyrics canât be heard on American Idol.â
You can hear Mista Long performing the song âF* Sumthinââ live at Club 424, February 17th, in Grand Prairie or visit Myspace.com/mistalong and be the judge for yourself.

To be fair, this is not technically a case of censorship. To censor is to examine and remove objectionable content from a work. So, if MP3artistsonline had removed the objectionable language from the song and run it anyway, that would have been censorship.
By removing it, they are exercizing their right as a private enterprise to choose what they will and will not run on their site. That's a right I'll steadfastly support.
That said, we're more than happy to run the track here. :)

Alan and Mike I thank both of you, Mike for the informative description and Alan for supporting my artistic expressions. I have and will continue to support this site as much as I possibly can as well.
Thank you,
