Diggy Simmons Says NO To Profanity



Well isn't this a breath of fresh air. Recently Diggy Simmons, son of legendary hip hop artist Rev Run of Run-DMC, spoke to a local radio station about his music and why he chooses not to use profanity in his lyrics.

Diggy says,

“When people hear me say certain types of things, they say, I wonder what Rev would think. I wouldn’t say anything in the first place that would be shameful to my family anyway, but I am me at the end of the day. That’s not even me trying to be clean. I don’t need it, I don’t need to curse in my rhymes or in any of my songs. Honestly, I haven’t really sat down and said, when I’m older I’m gonna curse or when I’m older, I’m not, but I don’t see myself cursing anytime soon. I don’t think I should ever use it, honestly. I guess I’m making the decision now, I’m never gonna curse. There’s no point."

I applaud Diggy for not falling victim to the pressures that often surround being a successful rap artist. I hope he continues on this path of "positive" music and I pray that listeners don't underestimate his talents just because his rhymes aren't laced with profanity.
