Rick Ross Unwelcomed @ College, Students Protesting

Students at Georgia State University in Atlanta are protesting Rick Ross‘ scheduled homecoming performance on Friday.

Students in protest are concerned about the content or Ross‘ lyrics. Ayesha Kirk (who is a student at the university) told a local television station:

“We don’t understand why the lyrics are this way. Why is this an artist that we support? Why are we spending thousands of dollars on this message?”

Kirk specifically addresses disapproval for the lyrics of Ross‘ song “9 Piece”.

“[Rick] Ross is known for raps that discuss drugs, money and sex. In his song titled ‘9 Piece’ Ross says, ‘I’m selling dope straight off my iPhone.'”

Georgia State has a no-drug policy that includes expulsion from the university for those who violate the policy.  To students in protest, the irony is in the fact that the school is supporting an artist who’s lyrics indirectly violate the university’s policies.  To add fuel to the fire, Georgia State is using a portion of the fees all 30,000 students pay in order to fund the concert.

What do you think–are their points valid?
