This is not meant as a racist question.
I personally believe that the "culture" created by SOME rappers, based around, being thug, having bling etc. etc. actually keeps black people down. In fact, lets extend it: Not just black people but anyone in a rough life situation who listens to this music.
It gives them nothing to aspire to, and basically makes it look cool to shoot people, to go to jail, to pimp...... I could go on.
Anyway, what do you think? Should we censure this type of music? I recognize rap as an artform, but I don't this the place its been taken to in the last 10 years is a good thing.
Weigh in! What does everyone think?
