i have values and standards that would probably go against what rap represents. a lot of the cotemporary world will say that rap spreads hate and degrade people, blah, blah, blah, blah. but speaking as a musician i can honestly say that music is sometimes the only and the best refuge you can find when you need it. music is therapy, and if eminem and 50 cent can channel their feelings into music, rather than actions, then i say more power to them. it kinda makes me mad to see people like eminem and 50 cent (even though i may object to what they stand for) get punished by their critics when i can at least appreciate their crude but lyrical genious. is it not our responsibility to decide for ourselves what we subject ourselves to? or do you really feel that the aura of such genres is harmful to society?
