I used to listen to this kind of music when I was younger. Some beats are nice and the music gives you that "badass" feeling.

But I stopped. I want to have nothing to do with culture that glorifies crime, violence, disregard for society, glorifies "Gentle Giants" but sings "F the police", is only about "me me me and f everyone else", culture thats about glorifying you-lose-i-win instead of win-win.

I stopped after Zimmerman affair. I saw a man who defended himself vilified and persecuted and a thug glorified and that was the last straw for me. I donated to Zimmerman defense fund and decided never to give another dollar to anyone associated with this culture of depravity.

If you have kids who listen to this garbage, have a serious talk with them and explain to them what this music and culture really stand for and glorify.

P.S. Knock out game this.

Maybe it is about history and not the music. You know, like 'Million Dollar Quartet', 'Walk the Line', 'Jersey Boys', et al.

Too bad you had to go the route of the small-minded.

I tell my daughter that rap is nothing more than crap with the "c" removed. I have parental controls on her iPad and rap is banned.

It's actually a good movie, overall very entertaining and moved quickly. Good representation of that era.
