Does rap music negatively impact our society?

[vegetarybrownrice]

Has there been an instance in your life where rap music has negatively influenced you?

Do you think its violent? misogynistic? materialistic? etc.

Do you think rap music sends a bad message to the youth?

Spoiler

This current filth that is being pushed..........

Yes, yes, yes, yes.


Your questions dont get to the root of the issue tho....

cause whats the point of "Do you think its violent? misogynistic? materialistic? etc." if u dont even ask if i think its the root of those vices

 

[kingdizzy01]

yes. alot young buhls being raised by single parent (mostly mothers) with no real male influence in their life, except whatevers on tv. and single moms usually workin alot, leavin the kids at home to watch and listen to whatever. I dont think its a problem with the media itself, but a disfunction in the family unit.

I JUST gave a speech about somethin like this on Monday.

When society and the media uses music in general as a scapegoat for all the fukked up shyt that's going on in this fukked world..shyt makes me sick. For example, a club in Cincinnati was shot up on "Hip-Hop night" so they banned Hip Hop Night forever. Check this shyt out though: All kinda shyt popped off damn near every time on Hip-Hop night and these hoes didn't heighten security or nothin.. But when this shooting happens they wanna blame Hip-Hop for it

EDIT: Also, y'all see how that around that whole James Holmes fiasco, which was like the largest mass shooting in American history, nobody was talkin bout how Batman/Dark Knight influenced this nikka to dress up like the Joker and open fire on civilians?? The world is backwards as fukk brehs

 

[SpittinThatKnowledge]

HELL YEAH.

And i shouldn't even have to explain myself

 

[vegetarybrownrice]

FWIW in my paper im saying its not necessarily the hip hop genres fault but the lack of parental guidence + what the music labels are trying to promote

 

[havoc00]

people been killing and robbing way b4 rap music

 

[Doobie Doo]

Nope it's just a convenient way for the media and other people who don't understand the HOOD to blame something superficial which has nothing to do with the real social issues that fuel rap at hand (Poverty, lack Education, lack of family structure etc). Not only that it's also a great way to put back the few nikkas who did get out the hood and fukk their money up (Ludacris/Bill O'Reily/Pepsi fiasco). They also fail to mention during the Clinton administration around the peak of the gangsta rap era (mid 90's) crime was at a nationwide low since the 70's.

[Strapped]

yes dawgie

 

[BrothaZay]

Nope.

LA had 1000 murders way back in 1980.
Chicago was getting 900+ in the 70s
Houston reached its murder peak in the 70s with 600 something
Harlem averaged 100 murders a year in the 50s

And yes, all of those cities are safer now(in 2012) than they were in those years.

It comes down to the listeners thought process. Some dudes are mad influenced by the music they listen to and end up becoming or reinforcing the ideas that they are being exposed to.

Some dudes think sh!t is real and don't comprehend that it's nothing more than entertainment.

It's just music
