So you find one song from twelve years ago, and make the connection that this is somehow a common or popular theme in rap music. And out of curiosity, how much Ice Cube do you actually listen to?
you caught me! I only looked that up for argument's sake. I do get offended, however, by the rap on the radio talking about women (I know that it is quite different) and hope my 12 year old son NEVER hears that crap. As a musician (I play guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards, as well as compose my own music) I hate rap. Not that anyone would care, but I consider it akin to putting mayonaise on a turd sandwich. I do occasionally listen to whatever comes on the radio - at least for a few seconds, so I know that the content hasn't changed that much in the last 12 years. Also, I was one of the first kids with Run DMC when they FIRST came out and back then it was really original. Now, it's kind of like cheerios.
