Why would it only affect black kids? White kids love rap music too. Something about the negroid brain react differently? [\sarcasm]. This generation didn't invent criminal behavior. Booker T Washington wrote The Negro Problem over a century ago.

Rap music has brainwashed millions of people into the thug mindset. It is affecting people of all races. Lots of depressed people who live in dysfunctional homes listen to rap and it is the biggest influence for them. Many people a raised by rap music pretty much.

It is no accident. Hip hop was purposely steered into a negative and violent direction in the early 90's. But nowadays I think it's turning around and going back to being really artistic and creative.

This^

It seems to be influencing people to shop at thrift shops and wear tight fitting jeans the last few years.

I'll always love some of it but 90's gangsta was mostly just commercialized BS.

You must refer to my previous post. Your mindset could easily become apart of the problem.

Didn't they say the same about Elvis and "rock & roll"? Hip Hop music is basically holding up a mirror as music usually does to every generation.

Of course it does, Instead of carping about the cause du jour, girls referring to other girls as "bossy," and thereby inferring that there's something wrong with women being bossy, Beyonce and the rest of the Hollywood lemmings should be carping about the all-too-common depiction of women as hos and sluts promoted in their own money-making songs.

Exactly! Beyonce is so focus on banning words like "bossy" while her husband who is one of the most popular rappers in hip-hop, made a career of objectifying women in his songs and music videos. Yet she says nothing about that issue. Talk about hypocrisy!
