Rap Music Bad Influence On Kids?

[devonin]

To call rap music a bad influence on kids is quite an ignorant opinion.

I'm pretty sure that we've been fairly specific when describing what kind of rap music we're talking about, and while there are thousands of less publicized, less popular rap artists singing about whatever, we've been pointing to the highly successful minority and describing that a reasonably large number of those have messages with fairly negative connotations. From that we are asking the question about whether the popularity of music with such a commonly negative message is having a negative impact on the younger more impressionable listeners.

I'm not seeing much ignorance there.
