Respect for Rapp

I thought the article was strong in explaining that rap music has a true meaning behind it. The music isn't just angry people talking about, drugs, violence, and living in a tough neighborhood. Those things are incorporated into the music, but its to tell a story. Rapping isnt about just wanting people to feel sorry for them and what they've been through. Its about showing how they were able to come out of the "ghetto" and make something of themselves. That's why I liked when the article said they were true artists because rappers are truly inspirational to all people. Not just black people from bad neighborhoods, but white people as well. Their rapping stories have the power to touch anyone, and I feel thats why it is such a success. There are ofcourse problems with rap to, such as portraying too much violence or sexuality in vidoes. However, there are problems with all kinds of music .For example, There are plenty of rock-stars who are addicted to hard drugs. I think rap should be respected overall.
