Hip-hop leaders yesterday called on the music industry and broadcast outlets to voluntarily follow a new, tougher standard for language in the wake of the controversy about rappers’ use of lyrics demeaning to women that followed former talk show host Don Imus’ racist and sexist insults to the Rutgers women’s basketball team.

Under the new guidelines, announced by the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network, the words “bitch” and “ho” would no longer be broadcast on radio or TV, and would also be removed from the “clean” versions of CDs, along with the N-word. A coalition on broadcast standards is also planned to create guidelines for visual content.
