I've never heard a rap song promote rape, and I've heard A LOT of songs, although they do promote a lot of negative things. I had a good example from my parents so knew not to take the stuff I listened to (and still do), seriously. I concentrated on the lyrical talents and good beats. Otherwise I agree with most of the post SpiritW.

Never heard a rap song promote rape? Check out Eminem (Stan) or S.P.M. (many of them) for example.

I was the same, I tried smoking and took it up, was a bit of a crazy bastard in my youth but never did any hard drugs or committed any heinious crimes. That said, I never did see the attraction in rap music. It was always IMHO, extremely stupid just for that reason : Grown men singing about killing each other and abusing their girlfriends. There had to be mroe to life than that. [/QUOTE]Well we don't wanna turn this into a rap debate, but rap is about FAR more than what you say. I can list dozens of songs that deal with deep, important themes and give a good moral message.
