If you think talking about raping women, degrading women, doing drugs, dealing drugs, shooting cops, shooting foes, shooting dope, stealing money, stealing cars, ect.. is good for children; then I think you have a lot of thinking to do. The music isn't fantasy for a lot of them, it is literal.
The parents thing though is definitely true, but the parents that are being discussed don't exist in a way. These are kids that shouldn't have been born, accidents, the condom broke or something. It is sad for them, but that is their lives.
I feel that nothing at all should be censored, but I also feel that rap music is bad for the culture. Some doublethink on my part I suppose. I know I see the world completely different than you though, I have a very unique view on almost everything.

i would also consider my view on the world very unique, its not the rappers fault that the parents are not there.
i think that rappers are just targetted because they are normally past poor black people who managed to become successful, people are jealous of them so they try to label them in certain ways.
music is just like movies all for the masses, its no ones fault when a parent in not their for their child, its not the rappers job to step up in those situations, it is places like social services that are supposed to step in, not entertainers.
rap is just targetted because it is mainly young rich black men.
i personally think pop is 10x worse then rap in that it influences 13 yo girls to think in a certain way, do your hair properly, do your makeup, look good for the boys, alot of girls are messed up as adults from reading to many magazines and listening to terrible music.
same goes for rock music, all rock does is sing about getting high, doing cocaine and heroine addiction. again they just target rappers because they are young rich black men.
its easy to target culture that you do not know, but look at your own first before you start making recomendations whether or not someone elses is right/wrong.
