Here we go again. Its not the music that is at fault. Its the message. Not all rap artists spout gangster messages, or talk about the getto. Please separate the message from the music. The music is an acceptable and valid art form.The stuff that you hear on the radio is marketed to a particular audience but there is good rap music out there that does not get played, will not get commercial airplay because the themes and lyrics are the exact opposite of what the the record companies know will sell. There are musicians with integrity that write good music because its good to them, whether it has large commercial appeal is secondary and in many cases not a factor at all.
