Thread Name: Rap Music
Subject: RE: Rap Music
Well,got some people angry there! Seems anger and rap are indivisible.

I understand some people think an unmade bed is art.

I just think culture built around drugs, guns, violence and woman hating is a blind alley for the young men and women trapped in it. And if it's high and mighty to think there's a better way and a better culture out there for those kids..then so be it.But then, once a teacher always a teacher I suppose.

In the shop incident by the way I was criticising the shop for pouring out youth oriented dance music at the wrong time in the wrong place. In a social experiment in the North of England they tried a novel way to clear anti-social youths out of a shopping mall. They played classical music. Apparantly it worked like a charm and the kids left. Delius's music got them out quickest. But then I suppose they too were expressing criticism of what they didn't understand.
