The topic concerns two main issues.

1. Responsibility
2. Moral choice

1. Who's final responsibility is it to raise a child? The child's parents. Yes, perhaps hip-hop as a whole and as its presented in modern times as misogynistic and immoral makes this more difficult with its popularity and influence amongst youth. But the fact remains, a parent is responsible to raise their child.

2. With the primary responsibility mentioned and defined one can see that the rest goes to the industry and media who distribute and promote and the artists who create. However who is to tell whom what morals to abide by? Until that is answered nothing will change.

"People ask me where hip-hop's going. I tell 'em 'You know what's happenin' with hip-hop? Whatever's happenin' with us… we are hip-hop.' " - Mos Def

good behiour among children starts ith the parents

Such an artist would be telling me not to let my children listen to their "music". I think that's excellent advice.

Garbage in, garbage out.

I think people are under the misconception that the world is a much worse place now than it used to be and are looking everywhere for someone or something to blame for that.
But really, there have always been wars/rapes/violence/theft - it's just that we didn't used to hear about it so much. 100 years ago, if someone got murdered in say, France, there's a good chance that even people in other regions of France wouldn't have heard of it, let alone people in other countries. But now, in this age of satelites and the internet, something like that would be all of the world in seconds. Which makes it seem to us as though the world is a worse place than it used to be, but in actual fact it's just that we hear about these things more now.
I also think western culture has a lot to do with it. We've created a society where money is everything, and the priorities in life are what you own, rather than who you are as a human being. The problem with this s that there are so many people living in poverty and being made to feel worthless because of it that it leads to rebellious, and sometimes even criminal, behaviour.
It seems to me that if anyone is to blame, it's the greedy powers that be who have created this materialistic society.
I don't think kids are affected by music - that's just a convenient scapegoat.

Obviously parents are held accountable to a certain degree. If you do it kids will too. But the artists themselves are also accountable. Whether we like it or nor (and trust me this next one makes my stomach turn) Souljah Boy is somebody's role model. And so is every artist. There is some easily influenced mind looking up to that star. They should at the very least have a good moral standing (not to mention good english, but that's another story). There is also a source that flies under the radar. The media. And here's why: I am not a fan of Keisha Cole or her bootleg show. I personally think that she has helped set us back 400 years. All you see BET advertise is her and her family fighting. I was flipping through the channels, and actually saw her at a foster home doing some good. This hasn't sold me on Ms. Cole, but I gained a bit more respect for her. And this is what the media does. It fails to publicize the good and only hypes the bad. I'm done this is a long answer.
