Hip Hop: Poison or Art?

[treblk]

^^^Very well said!
I must say that I for one don't find rap or hip hop poison but a form of art, to be interpreted as one sees fit! It's about your own perception of what good music is. I hate that society uses these art forms as a way to judge a race of people, maybe because it's more mainstream, making more money then 20 years ago. I remember getting flack by older family members because I of how much I liked the song where Uncle Luke and his boys talked about their sexual exploits or how Naughty by Nature explained what OPP was..I mean, though the sounds have changed..a lot of the messages in the songs are similar if not the same..
