I do not mean to sound predjudice, but I am looking for an honest answer. Why is it that music that is often referred to as "black" music, such as hip hop and rap, so often extremely vulgar and violent? I personally listen to country, but I notice that almost anytime people are listening to rap or hip hop, there is often swearing, mention of killing/raping someone, gangs and shootouts, etc. It is also often loaded with the words "b*tch" and "n*gg*r". Why is this? Why don't more people who enjoy rap music have "clean" music? Isn't it possible that listening to this type of music gives the children/adolesence who listen to it the wrong message? If a kid listens to songs about people shooting each other every time they get pissed at someone, what is to keep them from thinking this is the norm?
