Do you not realize that rap is an entire genre of music that goes back back decades and includes a wide variety of artists and styles?
I love rap and hip-hop.
I don't like violence, mysogony, or the big money glorification.
So guess what I do?
I don't listen to that STYLE of rap?
I can like rap and not listen to Tip Drill -- the very thought makes me ill.

Not the PP by my kids will come back with "The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc". None of them are rap music kids. They prefer classic rock. My oldest doesn't think good music was made after 1990 and that some of the 80s were debatable.

We've apparently raised old souls

Old souls and very, very cool kids.

Rap can't touch the above. And you will never hear Zeppelin or the Beatles calling any woman a whore or bitch. Rock on!!

I'm a huge Beatles fan, but some of their lyrics are problematic. John Lennon was known to be violent with women, and there's a lyric in "Getting Better" that talks about beating women.

"I used to be cruel to my woman / I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved"

No, I would never condone physical or verbal violence against any woman, and I wouldn't tolerate it personally. I posted the rest of the lyrics to show that it didn't continue with an excuse for cruelty but he was trying to clean up his act.

I have looked and listened to several rap songs (I happen to like old school Kurtis Blow, Sugar Hill Gang, Salt 'n Pepa), and I keep waiting for the apology or at least she ain't a whore no more. That is what I am not hearing and why I have problems with some rap. I, too, am a big Beatles fan but what I am looking for is an understanding that what disrespectful things you do to women is wrong and, at least, you're trying to clean up your act. Again, I'm not hearing this in rap.
Dr. Dre - Bitches Ain't Shit
Nelly - Tip Drill (must be ya ass cause it ain't ya face)
Ja Rule - Bitch betta have my money

And below is the rest of the lyric that the PP left out from John Lennon:

I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man, I was mean but I'm changing my scene
And I'm doing the best that I can (ooh)

I admit it's getting better
A little better all the time (It can't get no worse)
Yes, I admit it's getting better, it's getting better
Since you've been mine

All of the songs are disrespectful to women. Are you trying to say that the Beatles song is better because he's trying to stop beating his girlfriend?
