it does indeed effect children, it makes them think it is ok to sell drugs and shoot at people because the rappers speak on these subjects like its no big deal.

I dont like rap.

... I really don’t think anyone takes rap records that seriously ... people do that stuff cause there poor and live in a shit area with no education!!!!

... All those school killings like columbine where white kids that listened to metal ... I don’t blame metal, they where just idiots.

I love the way people say its harmless if the rappers are white like ICP and Eminem ... I would say Eminem has a lot more influence than most rappers ... and he has got to be the one that’s the most down on women disrespecting his mother and the mother of his child! I don’t think I ever heard a black rapper disrespect his mother ... not that im a big fan ... to much blinging for me (What ever the fuck that is ... u yanks have some stupid words)
