Don’t Blame Hip-Hop
Hip-hop has been making enemies for as long as it has been winning fans. It has been dismissed as noise, blamed for concert riots, accused of glorifying crime and sexism and greed and Ebonics. From Run-D.M.C. to Sister Souljah to Tupac Shakur to Young Jeezy, the story of hip-hop is partly the story of those who have been irritated, even horrified, by it.

o well
It seem like when something goes wrong in the world there are only two things to blame: the government and Hip Hop. Who are we to say that hip hop is to blame for what a grown ass man says out of his mouth. He should know what is appropriate to say on about some one or anyone for that matter on a live radio station. Why did he have to single out the team with all the black people on it? He didn’t say anything about the other team did he? So he must be a racist and had to have something like that up his sleeve for a very long time. And can anyone pin point for me a rap song or a hip hop song that has the phrase “Nappy headded hoes” in it. Just curious. I’m tired of hip hop being blamed for the thiongs people do. What about rock n roll? Do they listen to some of those lyrics? I could care less about what people say in their songs. There is a such thing as freedom of speech and by telling people they can’t say a certain thing is just taking away their rights and they might as well change the whole damn bill of Rights if they’re gonna make them change the way they express themselves.
