it is not a matter of religious values, it is a matter of good taste

it is a matter of good taste taste is completely subjective. I hate rap as much as any of you but I'm not going to call for its banning from the airwaves because that's something for society to decide. In a free, capitalist state, we get what we want, and substantial part of the population clearly likes rap, just as many like rock like me. Either genre is not going to disappear because some people find it tasteless.

Aww...how thoughtful of you Mike..looking out for black people like that. What's the matter? Can't they take care of themselves well enough? So, you think it's fair to assume all/only black Americans participate in that "monkey behavior" as Igu calls it? Stereotypes are stereotypes, Masri. Race need not apply. Censorship is never justified, especially one imposed by supposed religious values. It's a matter of good taste, as Educate Me said. Big pimpin' and shootin' up some mutha fuggas isn't subjective. It's just wrong.

Kinda fun. Those who knows nothing about hip hop speak their mind about it. The criticism sounds exactly like when jazz was so choking. What about Break dance or street dance: www.style2ouf.com/english/videos/index.php?categorie=breakIsn't this an art form from hip hop? Also you must remember that the rappers today are a product of commercialism. People want to see stupid gangster Negroes and hoes. They don't want to hear about artist like: MF doom The roots BEP Tech n9ne These artist you hear nothing about. because they don't fit the gangsta profile.

I know where you're going with that and I'm sure not all rap is bad, but most of it is. All of the mainstream stuff is, and that's we're talking about, of course.
So, invent a new word to describe the booty dancing and big pimpin' rap/hip-hop has become and I would wholeheartedly go with you on that.
