Gangster Rap and volience

I agree with Nas on the topic of the influential on the violence we faced today because the violence start back then when fighting for our freedom. So a rap song in the 20th century influencing the negative behavior that happens to day is a joke and an irresponsible task that takes place.


I disagree with Lupe on the topic of the influential on the violence we faced today because you can't take blame for someone else's perception on what you rap about. This doesn't make any since, someone being blamed or carrying the responsibility of the reasoning children act the way they act today.

This should have stopped way back then. No I'm not going to go past the people who tried and lost their life for it such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. I appreciate the change you made but This worldwide situation can't be justified or an influential on violence that happens today because its to big of a situation to be even put in the category as hip-hop as a bad influence. Their are so many differ types of music that express the same thing and just because the population of rappers are African American doesn't mean we are responsible. If anybody feels they are influence by rappers and etc. all I have to say to you is find yourself. Before you decide how you will live your life and whom will you look up to, look at your history and then decide. Where did we go wrong?.....This is the question that keeps popping up in every assignment assigned to me. Over all these things happening today, the only question is where did we go wrong from working in the Field, bleeding sweat for your people to walking up to your people and shooting them as if we aren't related. I don't understand anymore. We use to be so strong. So if you won't take responsibility for what you have done and you want to blame someone, then blame the people whom robbed you of you intelligence, whom took your pride, hope, faith and dignity. I'm going to just end it leaving you puzzled. Who are you now?
