Talking about women as if there nothing more than objects, bragging about how much money they have, how many people they have supposedly killed. Does this seem pathetic to you guys? I mean they're sending a really bad message and people just lap it up. Who here listens to 50 cent? show yourselves..
Mainstream rap/hiphop is sad.

You are using rap music as a scapegoat for stupidity, lack of direction, poor environments, and/or bad parenting. People have been doing stupid things, commiting crimes, committing horrible attrocities, and being violent and mysoginistic well before rap music, well before video games, well before movies, comics, and Buddy Holly. I think saying that any of these mediums have a widespread negative impact on people is completely false. Yeah maybe they will negatively affect a small number of people, but that will be true of anything.DarkGamer007
No, I'm not using rap as a scapegoat. I'm simply stating the fact that rap music that uses violent and misogynistic imagery negatively influences a lot of young people and how they think and view the world. You call those people a "small" group but its really not as small as you think. And obviously most of the people most affected are those who grew up in a poor enviroment often with a missing father figure etc......but that's not the issue here. Rap music doesn't make that situation better, it makes it worse. You need to stop trying to go into some mode where you have all these pre-programmed responses and assumptions like "He's blaming rap for EVERYTHING!" and actually read what people are saying.

You are saying that rap music has a negative influence on people. So can I ask you how you feel about video games, movies, books, and every other person that is considered relavent or important to a mass population?
