...with its constant references to drugs, guns, racial slurs, homesexual violence...should'nt this type of music be more underground?

I mean think about it, isn't kinda strange that we listen to music that constantly refers to 'bun dem', 'kill niggas', 'slang dope', '**** police'. Are we de-sensitised to it, does it matter? Is it important?

Is it representative of 'us' and our feelings?

I say this cos i'm sitting at work listening to my iPod and its some pretty violent shit. Imagine if I plugged my iPod into a loudspeaker, would it be acceptable to play in the workplace?
