Hip-Hop and Rap Whats The Big Deal?

Hip-hop and rap today is all about killing, girls, money,or drugs which really can get annoying because not everyone wants to hear that sure sometimes its cool but when it gets to dirty and sexism its not something always want to hear. This whole issue of being a real man means nothing just because they sing about something different that can make a different does not make them "weak" or more often used a "Gay' it just means that they are people with a cause and aren't afraid to do what they have too. In one aspect Russel Simmons has a point but if people would stop living by the lyrics of these songs then there wouldn't be and thing to make songs out of now would there
If enough people stand against this music then it will change but if people keep buying Cd's and downloading (the proper way)their music then there will be no reason to keep making the offencive music and as must as it might not seem like it alot of rap music is very racist towards white people in most the lyrics half the time its a tiny comment but it is still there and is sometimes really hurtful.
