WHY SHOULD WE BAN RAP MUSIC FROM T.V AND RADIOS...???

AWAY WITH RAP MUSIC


As a parent, how would you feel if your four year old child listened to explicit rap music? Child also started to repeat lyrics that were violent and sexual? The lyrics have many ways to get to children’s heads and make them react differently when they listen to rap music. Lyrics and music videos have many sexual and inappropriate images and words. All rap music must be banned from T.V and radio.

Rap music has many inappropriate words and images. Just in two lines of the lyrics it contained many vulgar words mainly pointed to women. These lyrics by Too Short “Bitch…I just want f--- you and cut treat yea like a trammpy slut”. By have juveniles listen to those words, young boy will think it is ok to call women and girls those names and treat them differently and unfair. Juveniles listening to lyrics made the juveniles arrest rates for murder increase by 85 percent. In rap videos you see women dressed in very little clothing, and are dressed this way to promote sex. Rap music has many harmful words that we don’t need young children to hear and repeat.

Rap music makes kids become violent. Children Who watch T.V and play video games have more anger and violent than the children who don’t watch TV and play video games. Now over thousand of studies have connections between television violence and real life violence. Children who see violent shows are more likely to engage in aggressive behavior. When children play these video games they assume if the game has killing and vulgar language, so can they. Rap music has a lot of violence that will make children become more violent.

Rap music makes children dress and act differently. Many children look up to rappers and want to dress and act how there role models act. The children who have role model rappers only see the rappers in there music videos and hear them on the radios.what children see older role model do, is what they would think is right and want to do what there role models are doing. Many rappers dress in big baggy clothes and rap to music that is harmful to women by calling them hoes sluts and bitches.Children that watch TV and see there role model rappers dress and act this way make the children also act and dress this way.

Rap music makes children become violent to the fact of killing people for no reason. The children see violence all around and as well as on TV they see violence. What children see on TV they think is fine and want to try the violence with killing people on video games with real life? In Colorado Springs had a spate of shootings, that has a rising murder rate, the police there are saying gangster rap is a contributing to the violence. On July 9, a former high school star, was shot and killed. The police issued a new release blaming the violence to gangster rap. Many of the young children go to school. Would you like this to happen to schools around neighborhoods?

Rap music shows inappropriate images and makes children turn violent. All rap music shouldn’t be aloud on TV and radios. Would you want children to end up listening to the hatred words and images rap music brings?

My cousin was in Kindergarden and was suspended for a week for singing a song--a rap song. I agree, something should be changed.

I think rap music is like every other kind of music too. Rock music probably has a lot of violence and sexual lyrics too, but like emily z. already said not all rap music is promoting sex and violence. In addition the censorship in America (especially on rap music+videos) on TV and radio is probably one of the highest on the world + it is always the responsibility of the parents to look after their kids if they don't want them to listen to rap music. I think rap is a part of the 21st century society like anything else and if parents are responsible and caring enough then the kids also don't get on the wrong tack.
