Does rap music have a negative influence on our youth?

When rap music started in the streets of the South Bronx some 30 yrs.+ ago the masses said that it was a passing fad, and that it would die off without memory. Scroll forward to 2008, and hip-hop is the highest grossing music form of all time! But, that's neither here nor there.
The topic at hand is whether or not you feel this music has a negative impact on your children. If your child has behavior problems in school, do you feel rap is to blame. If your teenager has uncontrollable mood swings, is rap to blame. Remember, there is no wrong answer here, all I ask for is your honesty. Let the masses know exactly how you feel! Let your opinion have an impact.

Rap music, .....brains or brawn!!!!!
