I mean think about it, isn't kinda strange that we listen to music that constantly refers to 'bun dem', 'kill N****rs', 'slang dope', 'f**k 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 sh*t. Imagine if I plugged my iPod into a loudspeaker, would it be acceptable to play in the workplace?

It is if you listen to POP radio programming and POP TV videos. But generally speaking NO, there are a ton of artist putting out good material.
