remember there was this big debate on the BBC about two years ago, looking at the effect that groups like the So Solid Crew had on youngsters. A man pipped in and said that there was no harm "because they were only kids" The thing is I distinctly remember one of them singing about "worshipping the devil" and that "red was his favourite colour"
Are they as harmless as they want to be seen?

So solid crew don't exist anymore.

Com'on Rappers always chat sh*t ! Take it all with a pinch of salt !

So because they've disbanded it's ok to profess to all and sundry the you worship the devil?

If you was gonna say something about it why dint u say somethin in 2001 when they said it? come on now... your a bit late! 21 seconds was a big tune... my parents used 2 make me change da channel wen it was on cos a dat bredda "worship da devil... red is my best colour". I doubt he really worshipped da devil he was jus chattin shit cos it aint sumink black boys in da endz do but boy... he was misleadin yungaz an dat aint good but they must be dumb to do sumink just cos some MC sez he does it.

Intelligent Hoodlum / P-dot

True true....

But it sent a shiver down my spine that the audience hadn't picked up on this. In the blackaudience's endeavours to deconstruct the media motivation behind lambasting the group, they neglected to recognise that one of the group had utteredwords of a utterly sinister nature.

I believe strongly that people who sing today need to guard against words that could and can inflame thoughts of an unproductive nature. It strike me as interesting that in the Bible many of the books are made up of songs, and when many of the prophets spoke to God it was through singing. This has led me to believe that music is a kind of magic and not simply a shapeless entity that hits your eardrums. Films have harnessed this knowledge by playing music in parts of the film where they want you to cry, laugh be angry or in incur an adrenalin rush. Artist have harnessed this by producing entire genres of music such as heavy metal etc.

Apparently in the Bible satan wore flutes around his waist because he use to lead Gods choir. Frankly I've scoured the bible and can't find that reference at all, nonetheless, I still accept that music is a kind of magic and the words with which you use to play to it should be written wisely.

Oh for petes sake get a grip. and leave others to discuss it then!
