Noel, I think it's important for I&I to acknowledge the motive of some of this music. True, some is glorification of illicit sex, violence, and other self-destructive behaviour. However, just because it is spoken of in a song doesn't mean the artist is "bigging it up". The topics are real. Some are just talking about their lives. As a rapper Iself I overstand this. I speak on I times of thug life, from alcoholism to being locked up to women in my past who are less than virtuos so to speak. Hip-hop discusses life. If the I doesn't like the music, try to change the communities that produce the situations and backgrounds for it. ISES!!!!!!!!
