HIP-HOP
- RAP
WHEN SOCIETY HAS NO ONE TO BLAME
No one really knows what the commotion is all about. “Hip-Hop or rap
artists are a menace to society”; so the headlines go. “Their lyrics stink.
They degrade women. They talk about killing and killing and brutal killing.
They are poor role models for the youth,” the anti-rap rallies and infomercial
would portend. Hop aboard this back machine and picture yourself during
your formative years. As a teenager, one of the most popular professions
that one envisions becoming is an artist skilled with the music style
of the times and being a chart topper. We all cannot have the brains to
be academics; neither may we possess the bodies to be athletes.
