Ms. Tucker dedicated much of the last few years of her life to removing sexually explicit lyrics from rap and hip-hop tracks, citing a concern that the lyrics were misogynistic and threatened the moral foundation of the African American community.
Called "narrow-minded" by some rappers who often called her out in their lyrics, Ms. Tucker picketed stores that sold rap music and bought stock in labels like Sony, Time Warner, and others in order to protest hip-hop at their shareholders' meetings. She also fought against the NAACP's decision to nominate late rapper Tupac Shakur for one of its Image Awards and filed a $10 million lawsuit against his estate for comments that the rapper made in his song "How Do U Want It?" on the album All Eyez on Me, in which Shakur rapped "Delores Tucker you's a motherfucker / Instead of trying to help a nigga you destroy your brother". In her lawsuit, Tucker claimed that comments in this song, and on the track "Wonda Why They Call U Bytch" from the same album, damaged her sex life with her husband. This case was eventually dismissed.
Rappers like Eminem rap criticized C. Delores. In the song "Rap Game" by D12, Eminem raps "I'm all for America, fuck the government / Tell that C. Delores Tucker slut to suck a dick / Motherfuck ducked, what the fuck? son of a bitch / Take away my gun, I'm gonna tuck some other shit".
