Thoughout the years, the Hip-Hop/Rap industy has had many critics. People saying that the music is too vulgar, explicit, and inappropriate. I have created this blog to discuss this topic. Is hip-hop/rap music not good for our society? Is it too vulgar or explicit? Or is it just people expressing themselves and/or their true inner feelings to the world? Is there more to rap than curses and rhymns? And is this music appropriate for our youth? This blog is a place where we will discuss all of these issues. This genre of music has had so much negative publicity, and we forget some of the good that comes with this type of music. Someone needs to stand up to this criticism and this blog is the perfect place.
Thoughout this blog, I will discuss many of the good things that hip-hop/rap music brings to our society. From the symbolism, rhetoric, expression, the release of inner emotion, and much more, this genre is not all bad. I will also discuss some of the negative things that people are saying about this type of music.
My inspiration for this blog came from the media. The media portrays this music as bad, violent, and inappropriate for society. It is time that someone sticks up for this genre of music that millions listen to on a daily basis. I simply can't stand to hear my favorite genre get trashed by the media and this is why I became intrested in creating this blog. I encourage you to comment and share your thoughts to me. Add to what I am saying, or argue what I am saying, even simply email me some of your favorite hip-hop/rap songs from the past or present if you want. This blog is a place where hip-hop/rap lovers and haters can unite and discuss what some people think is a problem, and what others think is inspirational.
