Is music contaminating african american relationships?

[goodcookinmama]

ok did yall hear what Dblack said yall must not have. its not what you hear its how you react to it .Dblack made a great statement check it out

Yeah, we read what DBlack said, and what he said is true. I'm just taking it a step deeper and giving a more situational view point where these perverted self destructive actions are the norm. If its the norm then how do you know it is wrong.

Soulbrotha, your point was definitely dead on.

Think about it....every rap song... women calling the men n i g g a z....men calling women b________ and h______ ....
Keyshia Cole should've cheated....
People sing/rap about being pimped...
It's just....like wtf....
do i need to say anything else.....


But my answer..is a resounding yes....
But the music I listen to...is healing..and for upliftment...so i dont have to worry about that problem

i assume the use of the word "NIGGAZ AND BITCHES" in rap songs is for entertainment and self aggrandizement,but then if african american relationships are suffering,i would'nt blame it all on music.

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.

i support you on that one.we can't blame everything wrong in our community on music.music is for entertainment purposes and if it has any negative effect whatsoever,then maybe we've allowed ourselves to be influenced by lyrics.the words "niggaz and bitches" are used in normal conversations on a daily basis,so why all of a sudden,music seems to have made it worse?
