[mistermaxxx]

Nope not at all.ain't no music being played if we can't Listen,Learn&love One another.I was macking on a Girl once while NWA was blasting&neither One of Us was tripping on it.the thing is Music can be your soundtrack&it can Move you,but it ain't held accountable for what you do within your relationship.like I can Blast R.kelly's "in the Kitchen" Song,but I ain't gonna get a Chick&Have Her all by my Oven because when i cook in the Kitchen I gotta have that space to work on the Food.so naw it don't counter into that at all.things you deal within yourself were there long before the music came on.

that is the exact position of the white racist.
i am amazed at how many so called black people agree with this racist claptrap.
as long as black people are this brainwashed there will be a problem.

music can certainly program your mind.
that is it's power.
that is why all music in my house is controlled by me.
i do not listen to the radio.

Well BlackVoter and James you two need to make some music. Make sure you only talk about positive things. No sex, no drugs, nothing negative. Lets see how you do. I hope you go platinum.

Did people blame Rick James for the rise in drug use in the 80's? No I don't think so. People are in effed up relationships, because their effed up people.

Pretty much. I think people also fail to remember that artistic expression is usually a product of elements and senitment already with in the society. "The music made me do it" is just a fashionable excuse these days.

not only does music have the power to program your mind, video is even more powerful.

human beings are the most impressionable creatures on the planet.
that is our blessing and our curse.
anyone can be brainwashed.
