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.

Well, lets start off with young rich black men. The fact is, young black men aren't supposed to be rich. I think the general public can and should agree with that statement. JK
I see what you mean. The thing is though, rap promotes violence. While rock music may talk about drug use in a very vague way; rap promotes it and puts it in good light. Rock music is usually about past drug use and how it hurt the person. Rap is opposite, rap is now, rap promotes violence/drugs.
I seriously can't think of any rock songs that promote raping women, degrading women, explicit drug use, or very violent lyrics in a broad sense. I am a pretty big music buff, and I can't recall any that are even 1/20th as bad as the run of the mill gangsta rap song.
Again, I am the most uncensorship person on this board probably, but I still think that rap hurts culture.
