People dont like it, change the channel on the TV or radio. Certainly if more people believed your arguement was valid, it wouldnt have seen the absolute massive growth its experienced in the 20 years...its made a shit ton of money for big media businesses as well. People speak with their wallet.

You answered your own question. The reason its gone on is because of the money and when people have spoke against it they got called racists. I'm not foolish enough to think that ever kid that listen to gangster rap will join a gang but the vulnerable children without guidance are at greater risk. They have the freedom to produce this crap but I don't have to agree that its good for our kids. I'm not blind I can see what is going on wth our youth.

Thats always the case, but to blame rap? comn' man.

Elvis gotta lotta hate when he came out and changed the face of music as well. People will always have a problem with art and the people who make it, been going since the beginning of time. Easy to blame. This country be pretty damn boring if everyone still sat around watching the Lawrence Welks show...
