Russell Simmons has decided to jump on the Imus bandwagon and “recommended” the following words to be voluntarily removed from rap songs: bitch, ho, and ni**er.

As quoted in the Hollywood Reporter: “These three words should be considered with the same objections to obscenity as extreme curse words.”

Here I Am is the upcoming album from rapper turned actress Eve. The rapper’s fourth album will be the long-awaited follow-up to her 2002 set Eve-Olution.

Due August 7th the set features production from Timbaland, Scott Storch, Swizz Beatz, Cool & Dre, Pharrell and Sean Paul.

Check out the lead single “Tambourine” produced by Swizz Beat. It’s catchy and strangely evocative of Will Smith’s “Switch.” What do you think?
