"rapin ho's"???? really? i generally consider myself an afficianado on hip hop and the only instances of rape that i can pull up in my mental files are either the rapper is telling a sad story or it's a "beef rap" and he's saying what he's going to do to another rapper's girl and anyone believing that he means it is a tard.

killing cops. most of those comments come from those who grew up where police brutality was the rule and not the exception and they are just venting. and a large percentage of those raps come after horrible events like the rodney king beating, amadou dialo's death and shawn white's death. it's mostly frustration with a system that is supposed to protect but does harm instead. i'm not condoning it, but i understand where it comes from. heck, my dad's a cop and the first time i heard ice t's "cop killer", he was listening to it.

as far as the "racist music", if you don't like it, don't buy it. how hard is that. someone thinks they can make money off of it, don't help them succeed if you disagree with their views, how hard is that?
