Gangster rap is a big problem but the record suits won't allow the black kids to become free thinkers...

I guess you then need to ban rock and country concerts then too. Bars, contact sports should go as well. Public protests, etc, would have to go. We should stop people from driving to prevent accidents, stop flying to prevent crashes and close all stores around Christmas and Black Friday.

That's one of the main problems I have with mainstream/most of rap. The misogyny. Honestly, this is something that's confused me. How could you support that? Do you have a sister, or daughter? And even your mom, you do realize that's disrespectful to all of them right? You may say "it's just music" but if somebody came making misogynistic jokes about a woman you loved would you really "love" it?

I'll take Lupe Fiasco any day over 90% of mainstream rappers. And I don't think there has been any riots or killings at his concerts because he promotes positivity.

Maybe they should ask their dads for advice? Oh Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap.

Seriously, did you just place the blame on record company execs?

I started supporting misogynistic rap after I discovered how those people really are, along with their double standards and typical annoyances.

And what does family have to do with men not liking or caring about those other people?

And how do you know how those people really are? Have you met them? And I don't really understand what double standards and typical annoyances you're referring to please explain.

You say you love misogynistic rap, ever heard of Too $hort? One of the most misognistic rappers ever, you know there's a recent scandal of him in an interview advising middle school boys on how to nearly sexually assault a girl? Art imitates life, so what too short does/believes is what he writes about best believe.

And the definition of the word misogyny is hatred of women. So in other words, you say you love misogynistic lyrics, those same lyrics you say you love disrespect any woman involved in your life. I am asking are you ok with that? You're saying you support a sub-genre of rap that degrades and offends a whole gender?

And you also want to ban freedom of speech. Nice.

I'm not going to answer you direct question if I care about the disrespect to women in my personal life.

In a sense, a great number of those people talk smart and act all intelligent, thinking they're better than a normal person. These people literally talk bad about men all the talk and won't deal with any criticism while they're at it. And there's tons of singers making misandric songs. And those songs make a lot of sales. A lot of these people think it's okay to hit a human. But if he strikes back, it's over for him.

And I know the definition of misogyny pretty well. I can support more than just "misogynistic" rap. If those people face disrespect or discrimination, it's like whatever. And why do you keep bringing up women in my personal life anyway?

As for rapper Too Short, I doubt he's teaching boys how to do that. I'm sure the scandal was made up. Now boys do need good role models in their lives. Boys need to be taught to focus on their education and avoid those other people. Besides, boys get in trouble in school for nothing because of a lie a broad has told.
