Last nights "investigative report" on CNN asked the question "Is Hip-Hop an art or a poison"......This segment was among the most baised and ignorant "report" I have ever seen toward this ARTFORM called Hip-Hop........As if Crime didn't exist untill Hip-Hop music came around.........this is hilarious....but yet 55 percent of viewers decided that Hip-Hop was in-fact a POISON.....We have an excerpt of the debate on our on-line TV Station....Check out the segement for yourself.....Feel Free to comment and join in on this on-going debate.....Peace!!

Watch the Segment NOW!!!

Oh my god!

As if "violence, treatment of women, and gay bashing" were caused by Hip Hop. Like you said, all those things existed long before Hip Hop, if not since mankind exists. Also, it's a fact that not the music changes the views (or, if you want their "violence, treatment of women and homophobia"), but the music reflects the already existing views.

Some Rappers talk about those things in their lyrics, because it is their daily business. Or at least, it was (many rappers don't live in ghettos, and they don't sell drugs or something like that).

Another thing, those people have to think about, that you can't blame Hip Hop for "Ganxta Rap". There are many artists out there who rap about "serious" stuff. I can't see why you should blame them.
