i was just watching this show and they were discussing thie topic of music censorship. im already excluding the narrow minded ignorance that this is just rap. i listen to various kinds of music so i can already tell you its not just rap! but on the show they were just acknowledging the fact that rap is an artistic expression of the "black mans" experience in the ghettos of america. (all minorities not just black) do we censor the music (hard rock, gangster rap, etc) that we fear will influence younger generations (im 16)even though it violates the constitutions right of freedom of speech? is the media and environment responsible for influence on children or is it the parents job to monitor what they listen to/watch? there is so much more that falls into this -the fact that the people allow corportations to sign these violent artists on record deals (in the end the people do have a say to what they respond to)-or do they have a right to profit regardless? what do u think?!
