Rap and Race

Rap music is currently the most popular expression and outlet for young black men in this country. The songs of many of these rappers touch issues that the African American male faces on a day to day basis, a main one of those themes is racism. The problem is those songs don't help to alleviate these stigmas and problems. For instance, the use of the n word in these songs don't help people not using the world it makes seem almost acceptable when it certainly isn't. While rappers are doing it for the money they still are trying to use the messages in there songs to try to inflict change, the only problem is the way they go about can cause an adverse effect.
