Hip-hop heads appreciated Rev. Al Sharpton’s vocally tongue-lashing of ousted “Imus In The Morning” host Don Imus, but industry insiders say they’re telling the civil rights activist to keep his mouth shut when it comes to censoring them.

“We’re going to warn the music industry they’re next,” says Shapton. “I’m going to tell them my momma wasn’t no ho, and my daughters ain’t no bitches!”

But don’t expect the music men to sit still for his sermon. Jay-Z, Diddy, Jermaine Dupri and other urban-music honchos will be huddling at a meeting that Hip Hop Summit Action Network heads Russell Simmons and Benjamin Chavis are having at the home of Warner Music CEO Lyor Cohen. Also expected are top execs like Chris Lighty, Steve Stoute, Craig Kallman, Kevin Lyles and Steve Rifkind.

Some people think this is a meeting aimed at shuting up Sharpton.

“Some of these people see Sharpton as an opportunist,” says one source involved in the planning. “He’s crying about rap lyrics. At the same time, he’s calling all the major music labels to get them to donate $50,000 apiece for a table at his convention tribute to [Island Def Jam chief] L.A. Reid.”

Simmons denies the meeting is in response to Sharpton.

“The Rev and I may disagree on this one, but we need talk about mentorship - not censorship,” Russ said.

“I’m not saying all rap is good. But most of what I hear from rappers is an honest depiction of what they know. The poet is just reflecting the truth of society.

“If [Sharpton's] convention creates an environment to help artists take personal responsibility, then that’s good. It’s creative aggravation.”

Simmons says his group had bought two tables at the L.A. Reid gala, “but maybe we’ll give them back to the Rev and he can sell them.”
