There I said it…

The thing is that rap is derived from a culture that has been around in our major cities for years, but most people want to quietly ignore it. Rap was created in part to give a voice to this part of society, but now it has become more a part of mainstream society and people complain that it influences kids. This is the same as saying videogames influence kids while the truth is kids shouldn't be listening to most rap as it really is not appropriate for them. The problem is that a lot of parents let them listen to rap even with the big MA stickers on the CDs just like a lot of parents let kids play GTA even with the big M on the case. I actually like some rap since it can tell an interesting story, but the themes in rap are definitely not kid-friendly.
