Publicized community protests and "Stop The Violence" campaigns such as those currently being organized in various cities in the U.S., have been going on for years with little effect. Urban youth criminals don't watch TV or listen to the news. But according to "Bonus Of Virtue" the forthcoming novel about paying for your sins in the afterlife by Aaron Westley Powell, one potential solution to urban crime is stopping it at its source--Rap and Hip Hop music. After all, music is supposed to soothe the soul, not advocate, profanity, murder, and violence. Isn’t that what we’re fighting against in Iraq.
So, why on Earth does society condone the profane and violent tough guy images of Rap and Hip Hop music? Strange that we don’t hear the Democrats or the mongers criticizing the music industry like they’re doing President Bush. Perhaps a drastic drop in sales of these forms of music might be the answer. A universal boycott of Rap and Hip Hop music, which is sure to hit the producers in the pockets, may have the most impact when it comes to combating urban youths crime.
