First off, I respectfully disagree with your statement that hip hop is only a subculture. And there may be issues to be addressed in hip hop, but how do we address them?

You can list all of the causes of hip hop's negatives and the results of its influence, but cannot list one viable solution?

How about, first of all, trying to get with the hip hop leaders and talking to them. I hear that Sean Combs and Russell Simmons is feeling out the political arena. What about something like that ?
