Sunday Question — Rap Music (7/10/05)

Issue: MTV to re-telecast Live 8, commercial-free: Responds to complaints that ads overshadowed July 2 event/Indiantelevision.com.

CDADave: I'm watching the recent "Live 8" performances on MTV today. Rap music is popular today. The rap artists on this program are the ones who have the most profanities bleeped out of the soundtrack. It could be that "rap" music, it's blatant and confrontational attitude are feeding the heads of the younger folks in today's society. It could be that "rap" music is something that's terribly wrong in our country.

Question: What do you think of rap music?
