[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NWA did F the Police PP.

I remember my brother watching Raw by Eddie Murphy and then running around calling girls fat hairy bitches. Not ok. :(

To the extent that I could control it, I would not let them listen to extremely sexual songs. Or at least have some sort of ongoing dialogue about all the sexuality in our culture.

Songs that reference inner city struggles or whatever wouldn't necessarily be banned. There's legitimate anger in those old Ice Cube/NWA songs. And duh, police brutality still exists. [/quote]

I agree with this poster. I find the misogyny, violence, and homophobia troublesome, but while there was talk of violence in Fuck Tha Police, there was also a reason for that anger.

I don't have tweens, but if I did I don't think I'd be in favor of listening to today's mainstream rap because in most of the songs the message is missing but the misogyny and violence remain. There's good (non-mainstream) hip hop that has a message that I'd let them listen to. [/quote]
