Hmmm.
Compared to what's out there, Google Me is pretty tame. It's offensive, but not overly so. He restricted it to an audio format and kept any franchise visuals out of it, so that's a plus in his favor in my opinion.
However, Freestyles|Get Money should get his arse kicked. Expressing yourself is fine, but keep the franchise out of it. I doubt that Jerry Jones will come down on him hard because of it, but it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't strongly "emphasize" that Bennett "reimburse" him for the use of his franchise's logo within a video since he is a paid employee of the franchise.
That would be sweet. Of course, it won't matter to Bennett. He's a hardarse, plain and simple. Some people just are.
Now, on a personal note, it's very frustrating to hear the use of the N word in music, rap, hiphop, whatever. Rappers are some of the most imaginative people on this planet. Why they continue to use the word as a crutch when it's not necessary in the slightest in order to earn millions is, quite frankly, unfathomable.
Even so, I'm almost willing to overlook the use of it if it were used in moderation, but the one thing I will never condone is the use of the B word in music. It denigrates women to sheer nothingness. Even the N word holds some value. The saddest thing about the B word is that a whole generation of men continue to use it and some women have accepted it as who they are. In other words, they accept that some men consider them to be of zero worth and that's just as wrong as it is painfully sad.
Hopefully, any female who finds herself attracted to Bennett and is perhaps blinded by the dollar signs will have had the opportunity to hear how he addresses women. I feel that would save themselves some pain of getting caught up and finding out too late how he really feels.
Oh well. 2009 has all the makings of a negative media frenzy of epic proportions with Terrell Owens and now Martellus Bennett willing to lead the way. Yee haw.
