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. |
rap never talks about raping women for as long as ive listened to it, rap sings about sluts and gold diggers, which some women are.
the only women that get offended by it are the ones that they sing about, easy lays, go to the club, hit on rich men types.
violence is on the news, and they report it.
rappers "see" the violence and they report on it.
what is the difference? i fail to see it, again it boils down to them being majority rich black men, and society for some reason automatically puts a negative stereotype on that.
