[QUOTE=GordonZombie;51450245]Yeah this is just stupid. Shaming your kid for their taste in media is just wrong, unless they're actually condoning harming someone (snuff films/bestiality/etc). You do have admit though, it's kind of ironic how hip hop has kinda gone from being a somewhat depressing commentary on the vicious cycle of gang violence and poverty to outright praising gang violence and drug use/dealing. [video=youtube;Rl2rCOFN43E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl2rCOFN43E[/video][/QUOTE] but... that still exists: [video=youtube;y2Dtq5xqGrc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2Dtq5xqGrc[/video] hip hop is a diverse genre and covers a variety of subjects, those don't have to be mutually exclusive
Ah yes, reminds me of that time when I was like 11 and my mom found out what this "Postal 2" game I always play is about :v:

I love how Facepunch's general opinion of rap is still "rap is dumb except for Eminem because he raps about LIFE"
Eminem is the lest shit rapper on Google Play's most popular because he's not 100% autotune 100% of the time. That said, I don't listen to Eminem. Atmosphere is my jam.

[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;51450008]If violent videogames don't effect you negatively, then music can't either right? The only being who harm themselves with videogames and music are those who are already unstable or are easily influenced. A 14 year old listening to DMX isn't going to turn into a hood rat and you can listen to music just for the sake of it, it doesn't have to be a lyrical and orchestral artistic masterpiece.[/QUOTE] Its more of a case of shit parenting. They prefer to blame shit on the things their child is into, instead of looking at the fucking mirror.
[Quote] Older hip-hop preached the dangers of drug abuse, how hard it is to grow up poor. Lots of new stuff is "I cap snitches and sell xanies cause [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lypj5YO-Irc"]I'm the dope dealaaaa[/URL] swag bitch in my lambo". For a 13 year old, that's pretty piss-poor stuff to influence them. [/QUOTE] How old are we talking here? Rappers have been bragging about their cars since rap began. [QUOTE=Rapper's Delight - Sugar Hill Gang] I got bodyguards, I got two big cars That definitely ain't the wack, I got a Lincoln Continental and a sunfoofed Cadillac. So after school I take a dip in the pool, Which is really on the wall, I got a color TV, so I can see The Knicks play basketball. Hear me talk about Checkbooks, credit cards, mo' money Than a sucker could ever spend,[/QUOTE]

Where I'm from kids are slinging pills and doing pills cos it's easier to get than alcohol. Than they hear their favorite artists are doing the same shit they do. Drugs are fucking exciting of course edgy teenagers are gonna gravitate towards it.
