Chet,

I find it offensive that you think you can generalize about rap because you have seen a few disturbed kids while working in a juvenile detention center. You seem to think that for some reason the rap they listen to is the popular standard and is therefore ruining america's youth. What you dont realize is that these kids you work with are most definately exceptions and that it is not rap that has ruined them, but bad upbringing in a most likely impovershed and abusive environment. Try thinking a more in the box, and your perspective may widen a little. Hip-Hop Crusader, Mandochop
