"But there are voices in that artform that bring about positive change" one of the brightest things you have said in a long time 3dee. rap - historically - was founded for 2 reasons. 1 - political activism. 2 - party music. although #2 has taken control of the rap genre anymore - there are many artists who make the first type of rap. from immortal technique, to jurassic 5, to outkast, to the roots, and so on. many rappers rap about their life... thus... is rap degenerative to society? or is society flawed and these artists are describing the world they know???? chicken or the egg. does rapping about killing cops and pimping women and smoking drugs do positive things? no. but do these guys/gals rap about these things because this is the TRAP they are born into? yes. so... before one goes around generalizing all rap - realize that like other genres of music - it has many variations in style, message, and emotion. not all rap is degenerative. not all rap is violent. rap is a linguistic art form tied closely to rhythm and harmony.
