Answers: Do you think rap is a bad influence to kids. Tell me what you think about it

No its not, because music is music, not like it has messages telling a person to commit a crime, hating on a person, smashing objects to the floor, or doing odd activity. To me, I say Rock music should be the top concern to parents since "most" Rock music is about hate, and violence. Rock music influenced the shootings at Colorado, now Rock still have negative impact today. Rap music is a genre that has meaning and creativity. Most rappers explain their life in songs, most talk trash, but they never tell the listener to do something bad, if you're concerned about Rap to children then just oversee and stop them from hearing it because Rap as we look at it will not change it's perspective or style.

NsAyN3 does have a point about Parents having control over thier children, they should monitor them and even get to know them better.

No worse than any other genre.

No bad parents are a bad influence on kids...If your kids dont know that something is just entertainment or a story coming from a person who experineced what they are rapping about then I dont know what to tell you...Thats like blaming heavy metal for the Columbine and VT shootings...Or most of these school shootings involving these kids that listen to these alternative rock groups...They dont raise kids...Parents raise kids...U cant blame rap for some of the messages they send...Because one why are they saying these things...its because of how society itself is. This is a situation that before hip hip music...These guys are just telling their story. Two PARENTS again need to monitor what their kids watch and listening to. Three when has rap influenced kids to do anything...Rappers dont tell ppl to shoot anybody or kill anybody. Funny ur posting that here....why not ask that question in the Heavy Metal/Rock section.

Mainstream rap is.

not all rap some is

Not all of it.


How many of yall got criminal minded
you you you don't be blinded
look at me I got no jewels for my neck
Why?
I don't need em
I got your respect
KRS-One twenty years I rock
I do it for JMJ and Scott La Rock
This hip-hop and we's a nation
Don't you wanna hear more KRS on your radio station?
Instead of broadcastin' how we smoke some trees
on the radio we need to hear more local MC's
Where you at
come on where you at
this is the difference between MC'in and rap
Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal
MC's spit rhymes to uplift they people
Peace love unity
havin' fun
these are the lyrics of KRS-One
-KRS-One

so not all of it is, people just think that because of what they hear on the radio.

I agree with NsAyN3 on everything.
Although, when I was a kid, and I busted out with the NWA album, my Mom hit the roof! Lol!!
I just listened to it at my cousins house, so she had no control over the music I listened to.
BUT...believe it or not, I actually learned a little from that album. I have family in Compton and heard a lot of slang that I did not know the meaning. I learned what a crack head was, a strawberry, and a few other things. It was at that time that I understood that one of my aunts was a crack head! You get true street knowledge from certain rap songs.
To see these gangsta rappers make it out the streets and actually become successful individuals is a positive thing.
My Mother was watching "Are We There Yet" and
couldn't believe that Ice Cube was the same person that made the NWA album that she hated sooo much! Lol!!!

Today's popular rap is truly a sad thing to the history of music. It's sad that good rappers of today don't get to the top of the charts the way good rappers did back in the 70s - 90s. Today the music industry only wants pop orineted music on the charts. Pop rap, Pop rock, Pop dance. It's sad. Real music doesn't get played on radio stations anymore. There are good rappers out there that I think aren't a bad influence on children. Such as, common, kanye, m.i.a., etc. etc. Although today kids usually listen to music on the radio or on the top of the online charts, and the rap on those charts, unfortunately, are usually about drugs, violence, and degrading girls. It's sad that people that loved old rap say that rap is bad now because all they see is what's on the top of charts. So my answer is, It depends on what rap the kid is listening to. If its today's popular rap, then yes its a bad influence. If it's today's good rap, then no its not a bad influence.

depends what the song is about rap in general is not.

only to the white kids or suburb kids who think its fun to imitate or act like them not knowing what they're really talking about or the struggle they face. its not the rap artists fault tho. other than that to people who understand it and can relate to it, its positive as long as they don't advocate a harmful message and keep it real. rap is no more of a bad influence than movies or anything else tho, it shouldn't be singled out.

naw rap jus lyk evry utter genre of music iz not bad unless u make it dat way

No. There ARE rap songs that dont have all that cussing stuff in it. You must be a ALL rock fan huh? Rock is just the same as rap because there are PLENTY of rock songs that I wouldnt let my 6 year old neice listen to.

no i do not. granted that you should let your 2 or 3 year old child listen to an album filled with curse words- rap music is not the root of all evil the way the media portrays it. there are plenty of rock songs that have plenty of negativity in the lyric example- maroon 5( i had to shoot him dead, he won't come around here any more) now if talking about shooting someone dead is not negative i do not know what is, but i do not see that group all over the news having to defend their lyrics to the nation. i hate to pull the racists card but why do you think rap/ hip hop is continuously under fire?

personally. i think it is..

but it all depends on the person listening to it. most kids dont know how to distinguish the differences between what they should do and what they should. they need to know that what the rappers sing about isnt the stuff thats "true".

REAL HIP HOP IS A GOOD INFLUENCE FOR KIDS.
HIP POP WILL ALWAYS BE A BAD INFLUENCE FOR KIDS.

some songs are. like solja boy. look at this!

i used to like that song but its sick!

Yes it's a bad influence... I was raised by a good family in an upper class neighborhood and never got into trouble. As I began listening to rap I started cooking crack, packing pistols, and smackin' bitches. Rap should be banned
