Rap
Reading the excerpts helped me to understand rap a little more. I am not a fan of the music. And the readings helped explain why people like it and where it comes from. In elementary school I was a huge fan of the stuff, I'll admit it. I liked the catchy beat and tone of it. It wasn't boring like Barney. But the lyrics I listened to, were not degrading to women or violent. They were fun. Catchy. Like, "Hoot there it is, hoot there it is." I thought of an owl when listening to it. There needs to be a real change in the messages in Rap today. Society will greatly benefit from high moral songs.

I really do not listen to music that often so reading this article about rap also helped me to learn more about its history. I thought both the articles were interesting, but I do agree with you when you say that there needs to be a change. Overall, it seems like rap can send the wrong message and if society wants to correct this, action needs to be taken soon.
