Following the recent appearances of rappers Busta Rhymes, Lil Wayne, Ja Rule, and Remy Ma at Manhattan Criminal Court on the same day for four separate, unrelated cases, hip-hop's image has once again come under fire. Fortunately, it's wearing the bulletproof vest of these public service announcements, sung along to rap's biggest hits!

DMX, on behalf of the Fire Safety Council
(sung to the tune of "Ruff Ryders Anthem")

Stop,
Drop,
Roll around till you're not hot,
Whoa-oh,
Roh-oll,
Then let the firefighters know-oh.





House of Pain, on behalf of the National Pool Safety Association
(sung to the tune of "Jump Around")

It's lame to get drowned,
It's lame to get drowned,
So wear a life vest to swim around,
Swim around!

Juvenile, on behalf of the Red Cross
(sung to the tune of "Back that Azz Up")

Girl you look good, won't you donate plasma?
You's a healthy mothafucka, won't you donate plasma?
We got troops comin' home with the Baghdad asthma,
Girl, go on and gimme that bag of plasma.


50 Cent, on behalf of Environmental Defense
(sung to the tune of "In da club")

Go shorty, it's your Earth Day,
We gon' party like it's your Earth Day,
We gon' sort recyclables like it's your Earth Day,
And we gon' buy a hybrid truck 'cause it's your Earth Day!
