Rap Music: Offensive Music Promoting Racism, Sexism and Violence?

The people who are influenced the most are white middle class suburbia, go figure 😂

Actually the people who buy rap is African-American young males. After all the music is geared towards them. This influences their behavior dramatically. Many sociologists are puzzled over why this music has such a strong impact on a community's behavior.

Relax.....a lot of people take the shit...literally. I'm a linkin park man myself. I'm not into rap like I used to be..it's become too much like a cartoon or something. with all these Tom and Jerry beefs and all......ironically I"m a black guy talking against Rap...will wonders never sense...and people are living these thug life styles...real thugs wouldn't be rapping...they'd be capping. heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh (heh heh)

but what would you do? bann rap music?
there is NOTHING you can do... 😬

'Actually' it may be geared towards them but they aint the only ones buying it 😮‍💨

i also enjoy linkin park..i have all their cd's plus their unreleased tracks...

but i also love greenday, Jay-z, A-teens, and eminem
so what am i going to do? cut myself, hate america, talk to hookers, fall in love with her and then kill the hooker?
no. its music. its a way to relieve stress, express love, anger...its music. its a way of life.
if u follow it too closely u aren't aware of what ur doing

I see alot of white dudes that listen to rap...yet let a black dude like me listen to linkin park or Switchfoot and I'm "betraying my roots" or something

betraying your roots how? i never heard about kunta kinte rapping or malcolm x or martin luther. rap was not even around until maybe 25-30 years ago.

I know LInkin park and SF are considered white folks music...I live in the south...proms are still separate...I think a town about 30 miles from my town had their first mixed prom...way to step into the 21 century right.

No. Just be aware of its ramifications on today's youth.

No. Actually black youth are the majority of rap buyers. The data is inaccurate because blacks are the minority and do not have as many people. But in percentage wise, blacks are the main costumers.

lol ure mexican friends have issues 😂

and a lot of folks burn their shit too. well not thier shit...but you know what I mean.

Maybe. The Black community is already beginning to become antagonistic against rap music since it pictures them in such a degrading light.

Data? If you read what i said, they aint the only ones buying it! or maybe they are downloading it, also if thats the case how do you explain Eminem?

they're not my friends.
and yes i listen to a-teens and s club and a lot of pop music. lately though i've been listining to a lot more trance...lemme put it this way. i have about 1620 songs on my comp. and its a lot of diff music

Eminem is popular because people want a white rapper. He appeals to their values and their misfortunes. Black rappers don't. A white surburban boy isn't gonna understand what the hell they are saying.

Eminem mommy and daddy loved each other very much......and 9 monthes after a very special meeting between the two of them Marsh was born.
