Whoever doesn't like hip-hop better deal with it because it is not going nowhere. People are always trying to throw the blame on everything but the real problems. Do they really think that one type of music influences a whole country to make wrong choices. That's bullshit.

Anything that promotes a lack of morals or values is not JUST music, that is a copout from someone that lacks maturity. However, it doesn't just apply to rap and hip hop music. There is a ton of vulgar television programs, movies, etc. Rap and hip hop has a culture that is not good (I am not saying all hip hop is bad, but a lot is) Anything that promotes killing cops, demeaning women, etc is not sending a positive message. You can like that or not, but it doesn't make it any less true. Research has shown that people's language evolves from things such as music. In other words, if you hear someone frequently speak improper grammar, you tend to talk that way. A study on small children showed that "angry" music contributes to their behavior.

"The song "Guilty Conscience" has gotten such rotten responses
And all of this controversy circles me
And it seems like the media immediately points a finger at me
So I point one back at 'em
But not the index or the pinky or the ring or the thumb
It's the one you put up when you don't give a ****
When you won't just put up with the bullshit they pull
Cause they full of **** too
When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up your school
And they blame it on Marilyn - and the heroin
Where were the parents at?
And look at where it's at middle America
Now it's a tragedy
Now it's so sad to see
An upper class city having this happening
Then attack Eminem cause I rap this way"

No it shouldn't!
Neither Should Rock!
The music is designed for those living through or from a certain lifestyle!
Either you partying like a RockStar
Or You do it like a RapStar Either way you party!
Plus you can not blame music for the problems that are facing our nation.
you have to Start at the top of the brass and work your way down.
The CIA brings drugs into the black communities turn around lock blacks up for selling!
Whites been doing Heroin for years! For years! snorting all types of things! it's not the music it's just the Reality!

Yes...Global Warming...the war in Iraq...Childhood obesity...Drinking and driving... California Wildfires...and EVERYTHING ELSE thats wrong with this nation...
Im just kidding...but there are much bigger problems in the world...and people who blame hip hop for the language they use or because it "creates violence" are ignorant... Yes...Some rappers are dumb as hell...but they can not represent a whole community of people...I love hip hop...but I do my own thing as a man...so the issues that we have here in the U.S. for the most part have nothing to do with hip hop.

America always looks for a finger to point to and blame it on somebody else. Rock and roll went thru this when they owned the air waves.
