This is true

 

When people do point them out I simply convince them differently.

Take lessons craz5d It'll help you to remember that in front of da juge

 

Rap is considered bad but this is accepted.... Why?

Rap sounds like talking **** and trying to make it sound like music

 

Still much better than a song about someone getting married to their sister

 

The rap music I listened to in the 80's and early 90's is much different than what they play today. I'm more of an old school rap fan. Run DMC, The Fat Boys, LL Cool J, The Beastie Boys, Sir Mix A Lot, NWA, Ron C, the list oges on.....

 

Thats what I listen to. But it still gets lumped in with the music of today as Rap.
I like Trace Adkins.

 

Good man.

Today's rap preaches violence, rape, stealing etc. Not exactly what we want our youth to be listening to/praising. C"rap" as i like to call it.

 

But that is your opinion and as shallow as it sounds to me, you have a right to it.
I don't think Timothy McVeigh, Eric Harris or Dylan Klebold were influenced by rap music.

 

True. I also know a few video games that may fit the bill. I won't mention any names, but one of those games have the initials of GTA. (And that's not "Good Times in America") - Og

 

Is there a song about someone marying his sister?
I'm sure it's out there but I haven't heard it.
I think maybe Ive seen the results of it before.

 

So are you saying GTA does or does not influence people to commit crimes?

This might help. - Og

 

and if they didn't have GTA to blame it on, they would have blamed it on Saints Row. For many people, GTA is an escape from reality in which they do things in the video game to relieve stress and things they would never do in reallife, but would love to play it out.

 

First I had to figure out what GTA was.:o
Now I know

It does make crime look fun.
My kids do play that game. I don't think it will influence them to steal a car.
There are some out there that it probably would.

It's all about home training. Ya know!
