Music Lyrics being NON-VIOLENT
Rap music can be considered a style of art, and a way for the artists to express
feelings through their words on paper. However, there are quite a few rap artists that get
criticized for their lyrics. In my essay, I want to discuss why rappers use certain lyrics in
their music and why people shouldn’t believe that it causes violence among the younger
generations. People shouldn’t censor the music just because of violent, vulgar and
abusive messages it promotes to the world. I believe in my own mind, that there is a
reason for these types of lyrics that rap artists use and I will simply explain those reasons
in this essay.
Rap has been called one of the most important music forces to emerge in two
decades. It’s pounding beats and staccato rhymes exploded on the streets of the urban
America in the early 1980s and since have become the theme music and lyrical heart of
the vibrant youth culture called hip-hop ( SIRS 1993).
There are many different types of rap artist. There are some that talk about
money, some talk about righteousness, and the list goes on and on. Every rap artist had
their own way of expressing themselves. There are those that talk about sex, drugs, and
violence who receive the negative attention( SIRS 1993). People, think this so- called
gangster rap is a bad influence on children in the world and that it promotes violence and
that it also is abusive to women. Delores Tucker, head of national congress of black
women has been among those pressuring different record companies to stop distributing
gangster rap music. There were other significant names that participated in this action.
Names like Senate Majority leader Bob dole, and former education Secretary William J.
Bennett(Surveys, pg. 1).
There are some rap artists that have been openly criticized for their lyrics.
Rappers like Lil Kim, Too Short, Snoop Doggy Dogg, and a member from “Too Live
Crew,” named Luke Skywalker. These rap artists in the past have been appointed for the
things they say in their music. Lil Kim talks about sex in her music, Too Short talks about
drugs, sex, and how much of a pimp he is, and Luke Skywalker talks about girls and sex.
The lyrics that these rap artist use in their music might not be suitable for everybody to
listen to but I don’t think their music should be banned or criticized because you don’t
have to listen to it if you don’t choose to.
