do you really dwell on the affect it has on our children..yes the little ones. i hear kids as young as thirteen mimicking the verses with the cars, ho's and clothes. there are certain things i do not play around my younger sisters. it is scary to think that what a rapper says can become fact in a 10 year old and 16 year old head(s).
Or even songs such as scrubs or no pigeons..very disrespectful. why demean each other then say that i am proud to be black? if it is about the dollar then my friends we have swam into the deep end without a life preserver.
