Chamillionaire is part of a very small fraternity of rappers, including Lupe Fiasco and, I don’t know, Will Smith, I guess, who don’t use profanity in their music. Despite his admirable stance, the Houston rapper told All Hip Hop he doesn’t think that the current wave of criticism hip hop is receiving is productive.
“People going to get rap CDs and rolling them over with steamrollers, what is that doing? That aint doing nothing but creating rebellion and people need to realize that,” Chamillionaire explained.
Chamillionaire recently released the single “I’m Not A Criminal” featuring Kelis and a remix to the song featuring Snoop Dogg and Busta Rhymes.
The singles are the first releases from Chamillionaire’s upcoming album titled Ultimate Victory.
“I don’t get caught up in the actual ‘This word is bad’ because with everything you take away there’s gonna be something there to replace it,” Chamillionaire told AllHipHop.com. “Everybody needs to focus their direction on these younger kids that are looking at them. If we help raise them right this is gonna be the new generation and this new generation is gonna be more like me maybe and just don’t curse or brag about being a gangster.”
The album, Ultimate Victory, has guest appearance by Snoop Dogg, Pimp C, Slick Rick, Lil’ Wayne, Busta Rhymes, and Devin The Dude. Chances he kept the profanity out of their mouths are slim to none.

I actually had to Google “Devin The Dude” because I just could not believe that was an artist’s name! I was so sure that was some Lauren sarcasm…
teezer needs to meet Rena. She knew ALL about devin the dude…but spending your high school years in oklahoma will do things to you i guess.
