Excellent response by Jay!
I agree. Rap songs, even though I do not like them, should not be censored for content. This is the scenario when the government begins to dictate morality to the population. That's not the government's job. It is the parents' job to regulate what their children watch/read/listen to. Those kind of songs are not meant for children to hear, anyway. Although, if someone were to a listen to a song that ultimately made him act a certain way (he goes out and begins treating women like objects), I would not blame the song. It's the dude's fault for being too stupid to figure out how to behave for himself and going to a rap song to tell him how to be.
