This article is garbage. Every generation proclaims the death of music and the evils of the current crop of performers.

Parents should get with the program and help their kids make good choices...period. There is good and bad rap, hip hop or any other type of music for that matter.

There is a certain sort of sick "oneupmanship" that plays itself out in youth culture. Every cohort feels the pressure to outdo previous groups. I don't think you can explain this away with a simple "thus has it always been" dismissal.

"Rap" is music??

I guess a banquet of beans and franks, washed down with Schlitz will according to other music "connoisseurs," produce a work of symphonic proportions in no time.
