What is scary to me is how any music rap or otherwise that needs to degrade or promote violence is so widely accepted. That is the part that I do not understand and I am not talking just Rap here but any art form that says it is ok to kill or degrade. Azizi pointed out to me that not all rap is gang violence. I took some time to listen. It is not my cup of coffee but then again I don't care much for Polka. But my biggest beef is with my neighbors blasting it until my windows shake because I would not do that to them with the clancy brothers (maybe I should). However back to my point, what does it say as a society that will embrace this in record sales?   I don't get it but I never will. I will defend the right of anyone to make it without question, I just won't listen or buy it. But a society to embrace the gangster stuff and idolize it, I don't understand that thinking. To me the violence cannot be justified
