Can someone help me instill a little more class in my daughters entertainment choices?The rythem is nice,but the focus is short lived,repulsive,and reeks of ignorance.

Obama, if elected, must inject excitement in the music industry by putting emphasis on the message rather than on the sound.

NO! And if he says he will, I'll campaign against him!!
It's not the government's place to clean up their act.
Free speech gives them the right to rap about what they want and free speech gives you the right to protest what they rap about and tell the record companies and their advertisers, etc, that you won't buy their products if the artists don't clean up their act.
Free speech works if you put in the effort. That's the whole point of our Constitution - to keep government from running our lives. The most recent and best example of free speech doing what it's designed to do is the whole Imus outrage.
Make the effort, don't expect government to do it for you, that's not freedom, that's dependence.

I see alot of "good" kids who don't see the problem with listening to that garbage. I have a friend whose son listens to it. The son was told not to have it on in front of his parents because they found it disrespectful. Of course, he still listens to it elsewhere, which he did anyway, but they are instilling in him the notion that it is wrong and is very offensive. He knows not to blast it around his friends' parents, etc. I think this will help him to not take it seriously and hopefully outgrow it one day. Be the best example you can.

I hope someone does soon, but he just might "keep it real" and not totally "sell out".
