A hand full of people on here are mindless, if you don't like it then that's cool... keep it moving. But to generalize? It's more than a few artist out there that are politically motivated, positive, and make good music. Rap is the most versatile genre of music, also the most influential. That's why the negative things you see on T.V are portrayed in rap video alone. Don't blame rap, blame Viacom. There's plenty variety of rap, good and bad. but corporation only plays one kind, the kind that's immoral and that dumbs down the youth.
