A symptom like coughing, nose bleeds, itching, and sneezing does not contribute to you getting something worst. After you've have taken medication for the cough, it's not the cough that will determine if it comes back, but instead your actions will determine that
Music that is described as not being entertainment and blurs the line of reality, contributes to the problem. It is not a symptom and it is not the sole cause of the problem
Rappers and fans that encourage blurring the line between in the booth actions and out the booth actions contributes to the problem because it's no longer entertainment

Well sh!t. I guess we can blame Jeffrey Osborne for promoting a promiscuous lifestyle that led to an increase in HIV during the 80s. Thank God he's no longer popular. Besides any rapper who says its not just music isn't worth taking seriously. We already know most rappers lie in 85 percent of their rhymes. But its the parents's responsibility to guide their own children and tell the the truth. As far as rappers really bout that life, they would be the same with or without the music.

Ok so now Jefferey Osborn and hiphop music is comparable so that you could deflect
What's funny is that you are willing to compare random music artist, while ignoring their distinct actions in and out of the booth. Which is the entire point of the discussion and the root reason why hiphop contributes to the black community problem

With a rapper, you minimize his actions...bu bu it the parents fault...bu bu you can't take them serious
With Jefferey Osborn, you conveniently ignoring that his actions are not the same as the rappers

Funny to me is what did they blame the violence on prior to Hip Hop's rise in popularity? Those n!ggas in the 80s, late 70s, were vicious, and the soundtrack to the streets was Cameo, Ohio Players, Marvin Gaye, etc.. Reading about Jeff Fort and Bull in Chicago and the history of the Stones, bodies were getting dropped left and right and Hip Hop was non existent. I will agree that the modern music does have some influence, but how much? The rival cartels in Mexico have mariachi bands that perform diss tracks, they do music videos threatening their rivals. We wouldn't blame the music for the violence though, would we? Any credit given to the music should be minimal. The problem is drugs, economics, family breakdown, white supremacy, etc.. The music is just an outward symptom, similar to a sneeze or a cough. You can treat the symptoms with cough suppressants, tissues for a runny nose, etc.. Even then you're only trying to mitigate the symptoms. The actual disease or infection requires getting to the root of the problem, hence antibiotics. Blame the music all you want, criticize it, throw warning labels on it, shame it, ban it, etc, whatever. The problem will still exist even after all that.

I was 13 listening to Biggie get head on wax. I was 12 listening to Cube kill cops on wax. I was 12 listening to Onyx say throw your guns in the air. And I had all kinds of other shyt. You kno who bought me all those albums? My mother. She didn't care cuz she knew I was being raised right. I've always let my son listen to whatever. He's 16 now and was one C from the honor roll. Point is you can't blame the music one bit. a$$holes been raising a$$holes long before hip hop

Thank you for saying this. You COULDN'T have said it any better.

When I was little, my parents didn't let me listen to rap. It really is THAT simple.

By the time I started listening to rap when I was older, I already knew how differentiate fantasy from reality. So I knew not to take it to heart.
