Olsen's rap makes Imus look like feminist
If Bears respected women, why would they praise top pick 'not only as a player but as a person'?May 1, 2007

Rap music is filled with graphic language, and the rap song "7th Floor Crew" certainly has its share. I lost count of the number of times I heard the word "ho," or a certain b-word or a certain f-word. And the lewd sexual acts that are described? Well, let's just say they're not appropriate for this newspaper.
But apparently the Bears don't have much of a problem with them. The fact that the team's top draft pick, Greg Olsen, raps in the song doesn't bother the Bears a bit.
After listening to all 8 minutes and 56 seconds of this unbelievably disgusting rap, I was shaking in anger and shock. How is it possible for these young men to have such little respect -- or is it hatred? -- for women? If Don Imus got fired for the comments he made about the Rutgers women's basketball team, these guys deserve jail time by comparison.
The group called itself "7th Floor Crew," reportedly after the seventh floor of a University of Miami dormitory where the guys hung out. Olsen was not the only football player involved in the group, which recorded the song in 2003, when Olsen, also known as "G-Reg," was a freshman.
