It became apparent very quickly during a 'violence in music' interview segment with Larry King that not only had Tipper Gore never bothered to listen to a song by 50 Cent, she had never actually heard the name of his muscial group pronounced aloud. Mr King became obviouly agitated when Mrs Gore first began speaking:

" 'Gunnit' is an offensive grouping of individuals, promoting violence against women and society in their lyrics. Their name, gunnnit, is obviously a double entendre, linking them on one level with the illegal street racing scene which is so prevelant in our major urban centers, "gun-it" referring to the rapid accelration of an illegally modified vehicle or a 'tricked out slamster' to use the slang, and on an another level an association with violent weapons and a culture of street violence, where 'gunnit ' means to 'gun somebody down' used more specifically in terms of shooting police officers and other authority figures, a phrase commonly associated witht eh Crips and Bloods in Los Angeles made popular by Ice T, Ice Cube and Chuck D."

With Mr Gore's "An Inconvienent Truth" heralding a comeback for the one-time presidential contender, it seemed as if a jealous Tipper was attempting to rely on her knowledge of the 90s rap scene to try and reincarnate herself as an expert on violent imagery in current popular music. While Mr King was debating internally on whether to first tell Mrs Gore that the rap scene had changed dramatically since the late 80s and early 90s, or maybe that she should put a hypen into Gunnit, Mrs Gore decided to make her most forceful argument:

'It is clear that the government must move in and ban all reference to illegal weaponery in the names of musical groups, be they "rap artists" or others. I am sick and tired of songs like "Copkiller" and "Fight the Power" which extol violence against the government and governmental agents. Their leader, Fitty (whose name be the way is an obvious cover for an offensive phrase "F@#$ it"), must recognize that there is no place in a post-September 11th America for his divisive music."

While Larry King recognized the Tipper's heroic attempt to tie violent imagery in rap music to the September 11th tragedy, he also realized it was completely asinine and considered retiring on the spot. Which was a shame, because Tipper interpreted the look of disbelief/self-loathing in his eyes as a cue to continue.

"I wikipedia'd some positive rap role models today, to give Gunnit a reference point from which to address their current anti-authority issues.Why can't Gunnit stand behind patriots like Fat Joe and the "Terror Squad"; Fat Joe recognizes that we are at a critical juncture in the life of our country and obviously supports our president and the anti-terror squads in Iraq and Guantonamo. Or follow the lead of Jay-Z and his Rockerfeller label, paying homage to the great American industrialist and the capitalist system our troops our fighting to protect as we sleep safe in our beds. What I'm saying to Fitty and Gunnit is basically this: isn't it time for all Americans to band together, both black and white, to finally band against a common foe: those of the Muslim Faith?"

The half hour used completely up, and with Tipper looking so pleased with herself, Larry King simply said good night and retreated back to his dressing room to listen to some Public Enemy and pound back a bottle of Jack Daniels, just to clear his head.
