That is in fact 100% but that still doesn't handle the confound of a percentage of people are influenced by music. I was personally influenced when I was in my early teens. Call me stupid or what have you but I'm admitting to this type of programming that influence you especially when you are that environment where it goes down at. For some it is adding gasoline to the fire. Just because it didn't happen to you personally doesn't mean it doesn't have a impact. Alot of the programming is subconscious. Till this day i try not to listen to overly aggressive shoot up music because I'm the type of nikka that gets hyped off that because I've done alot of what they saying. As an adult you do have to monitor the type of music young children listen to because it can shape their outlook on life.
nah i agree w/ you... you cant tell me kids listening to hours of songs saying basically the same thing "fukk u ill kill u, your homies and fukk your bytch and smoke this dope" aint gon influence them in no way? but rap music to me is like #15 on the black community biggest problems
