Snoop Rev Doggie Do

(CBS/AP) NEW YORK After calling for Don Imus to be fired, Rev. Al Sharpton said he's now turning his attention to the music industry, specifically the hip hop music that often uses lyrics that are racist and demeaning to women.

Sharpton says he wants to meet with some performers in the industry about offensive lyrics. Whether he demands they stop using such lyrics remains to be seen. The civil rights activist has stepped up his security detail after he received threats in response to his campaign to have radio shock jock Don Imus fired for making racist and sexist remarks.

"We have received several threats that we consider serious," Sharpton told the Daily News in Sunday's edition. "I have been stabbed once, so we don't take anything too lightly."
