Admire the Message,ignore the lifestyle.

Most Tweens these day's admire the lifestyle of the rich and the famous,such as rap and hip hop superstars,moguls as most of them have become.A form of admiration for a culture that has completely progressed from MC'S,also known as masters of ceremony rapping over a good beat to rappers that convey a message filled with utter garbage and debauchery.
As a result of my research most tweens are beginning to admire the lifestyle rather than the message one is trying to convey.One may argue that a lifestyle comes with the music,however rap and hip hop has lost it's heart and it will never be what it once was.Rap and hip hop began in the 1970's and originated in such areas such as New York City(the bronx).These people would have block parties and began speaking life lessons,very similar to the 1930's Harlem resident parties that were similar to the soundsystems of Jamaica.However according to Wikipedia.org "most rappers will tell you that they either disliked reggae or were only vaguely aware of it in the early and middle 1970's".Even from the beginning of the rap and hip hop genre did one follow a certain template of a type of music,however they made it there own.It all progresses from the same root.
Rappers these days have progressed to using the words,"niggers" "bitch,"whore" in there lyrics,However if one were to call an african american a nigger,one would lash out in a protest.So why be so hypocritical in ones message?So as a result in my conclusion im begginging to realize and understand that rap and hip hop is something that is following the same template however its completely taken a 360 as most music does,however for the worst.If one is willing to ban certain commercials or books off the shelf why not ban or not produce certain artists?Were killing our childrens future with this type of music that has become nothing but garbage.In my personal opinion this genre of music has progressed to a disgusting debauchery of emotions all wrapped into a "message".Something needs to be done now to protect our future,because if thinking its "cool" to degrade one another then we have another thing coming in the next few years and so forth.
