Rap and Hip Hop Lost it's heart

"It aint no fun if the homies can't have none" sings fellow rapper Kurupt in the infamous hit of the 1990's featuring Snoop Dogg,Kurupt,and Warren G.However is it really fun to have had sexual intercourse,let alone touch the woman one's fellow conrad has been intimate with?
From the beginning of the 1980's rap and hip hop has become the phenomenom sweeping young children as one would call,"tweens"(a child between middle childhood and adolescense).Not only has rap and hip hop completely transformed since the late 1980's and 1990's and so forth,it became a lifestyle that say's it is ok to feed our children garbage by letting them know in order to be cool or accepted by society one must have a "bitch"(female dog,however in the rap and hip hop world there "woman") "slang drugs"(sell drugs) and be a "baller"(having an extreme amount of money).When rap and hip hop arose on the east coast in the early 1980's one was familiar with it as actually rapping and dealing with life's problems that we all face.It became a positive lifestyle to vent ones frustrations out in a song.However when such acts such rapper Notorious B.I.G began rapping songs with such titles as "Big Booty Hoes" and "Hope you niggas sleep",the lifestyle and heart changed.Not only are those racist remarks they are also degrating to women.Rappers such as B.I.G have become role models to our children and claim there influences were such rappers like: Run DMC,Grandmaster Flash,Public Enemy,and so forth.Not only did those groups talk about real life in the 1980's,they never sent out the wrong message.These days rap and hip hop has progressed into the biggest debauchery i can think of in this musically inclined society.Yes,i understand one has the right to freedom of speech,however these tweens are our future and what kind of future and society are we going to look forward to with messages such as"Go 'head play that shit I'll lay ya fucking punk ass out nigga" sung by rapper 50 cent on the song"After my chedda".In my personal opinion i completely believe that rap and hip hop has become one of the most ridiculously,overated messages that carry a great beat.Not only do rappers copy and borrow beats from other real musicians,they take credit and feed it to our children.If we as a society are allowed to ban certain books,or commercials for society to see or read then we damn well better be able to ban certain albums from being distributed for the public ear.These rappers are sending the wrong message not ever worrying about what kind of influence they have on these children.Being a child from the 1980's and remembering what it use to be about has become an extreme dissapointment and will never respect or look at what it has become the same again.Rap and hip hop lost it's heart and i will never support or care for it again.
