Like I said on another thread, some things that are said and sung within the hip-hop/rap culture are offensive... I don't want an angry young man who thinks it's okay to call women "bitches" in my tent and I don't think Obma wants that angry ytoung man's vote...

But I'm not accusing all rap/hip hoppers here... My son writes some very good rap and is a purdy darned good rapper and actually performed one of his compositions with me at a festival I was doing but he wouldn't use the term "boy" in refe3rring to a black man or "bitch" when referring to a woman or suggest hurting or killing people...That's a matter of values...

But with that said, I wouldn't mind hearing what Obama has to say about such language and threats of violence...

p.s. Maybe my son will stop in here and share some of his stuff... As a song writer/poet myself I think it's purdy good... But it ain't imflamatory...
