Can Hip-Hop culture survive without the N word, the B word, and the H word?

From Yahoo! Group Black on Black Vibe (BOBV):

That seems to be the million-dollar question being asked now that
the Don Imus incident has put the spotlight on the hip-hop and urban
slang vernacular.

Because rappers and rap have been the main vehicles that have
chronicled hip-hop and urban culture, many outside the culture have
only been exposed to the negative lingo within the culture. Those
who live, grow up, and who are the culture know that everyone from
the urban community/culture DO NOT use and/or promote that type of
language.

One person in particular is Randy Kearse Aka Mo Betta, author of,
STREET TALK: Da Official Guide to Hip-Hop & Urban Slangauge. A 700
page lexicon which documents the unique language spoken in the hip-
hop and urban culture.

What makes this one of a kind dictionary/guide so unique is... You
will NOT find the N word, the B word or the H word (used in a way to
degrade women) anywhere in STREET TALK. Once asked in an
interview, "why did you leave these words out of the dictionary when
they're so widely used in the music and culture?" Mo Betta response
was, "just because people use these words fluently doesn't make the
usage right. No matter how you spell a derogatory word, its
derogatory meaning still stays the same."

Mr. Kearse self published STREET TALK in September 2005. Ninety days
later it was picked up by on of the leading independent publishing
houses in the country, Barricade Books Inc. December 2005. STREET
TALK hit stores in winter 2006.

Way ahead of the controversy that surrounds the hip-hop and urban
verbiage today, Randy has compiled the most extensive and authentic
array of hip-hop and urban slang ever as a means to document the
intricate way that people within these cultures communicate.

The answer is.... YES! Hip-Hop can survive without the N word, the B
word, and the H word... STREET TALK: Da Official Guide to Hip-Hop &
Urban Slanguage proves that.

lingo with host Stephen Colbert
