I'm not a die hard fan of rap, but I have a few albums mainly 2pac and DMX, does this talk of 'smoking out our enemies' etc make me less inclined to understand philosophy from it's very roots, Aristotle, Socrates-prostitutes (ok I have to explain this one, Socrates sent some of his students for an audience with a prostitute, for the purposes of intellectual education) etc to its modern adversaries (sp?). Am I stunted in my growth of intellectual pursuits with listening to this ****? Or does it serve as a stepping stone rather than a vice?
