like the Gawd Boyce Watkins once said: "if you dont think that rap has an influence, then you clearly dont spend enough time around the youth". Sounds to me like YOU are the one that needs to log off for a bit. Ive been around the youth. Ive worked at a youth detention center before and seen the influence that these rappers and hiphop culture has on certain ones. Go outside, the influence is everywhere. Fashion, slang, alcohols we drink, cars we drive, etc are dictated by hiphop. You sounding like a complete idiot right now dude
I coached high school basketball and Hip Hop culture was the dominant influence on 99% of my players.
Also worked with kids from youth detention centers so i know everything you're saying is real.
I doubt alot of the posters who disagree with you can relate or understand what it's like.
