I have to say that I agree with you all, I wish that we had some men in here to hear there points of view however.
I think that it is a shame that peoiple listen to music and actually can say it word for word and don't sit and listen to the words. I have talked to plently of people who will say that they don't like to hear people speak like this or that but they will listen to this or that in the music.
And I myself am the same way, I can remember the Jay-Z song " Can I get A..". I would tear someone up for calling me a b**ch, but I actually sat along and sang the words to that song.
I firmly believ that ID should be nesscary to by a parental advisory CD and I think that parents should listen to what there kids listen too because I have noticed that my 4 year old can sing a song backward and forward from spending the summer with his father (more so his teen-age uncles). I had him for a few hours last night and he was singing the words to "peaches and Cream"nd before I knew it the radio was off and I was holering at him like he was grown enough to understand my anger.......but anyhow, my point is that had I not cared and had this continued and he starts singing more and more and it gets more intense, eventually he will hear these words in his head and not think that it is wrong to say these things.
As mothers and wifes we can make a difference because we control what comes in our houses and in our cars. If every mother/wife/signifcant other sat up and said you are not listening to that in my house, apt., car or presense it would not be as popular as it is....yes, there are those who won't be affected, but it would be a start and it would at least make people notice we are tired of this "so-caled" music.
