I was teaching a "pop" culture course at Winston Salem State, a predominently African-American school. We were studying rap music and its effect on culture. I asked my students to bring in some CD's so we could analyze the music.

I warned students that if they were offended by the lyrics that they didn't have to participate and could be excused from class (none responded).

So we put on a "gangsta" rap CD and cranked it up. Much to my surprise the head of the music department came in the class. He came in and caught some %&%^^%#^ and @#%^$^. I turned off the CD and he turned red as a beet (he is African-American also but does that matter).

I still consider rap to be an art form and a music form and it's not just for blacks so don't stero (boom box)type it.

Is Kemo Kimo is a rap song?
