WOW STAZI you my friend live in a sheltered world. what artist are you reffering to? if you are 100% sure that all rap songs downgrade women and depicts violence then you must not listen to alot of rap. dont believe me then here are a couple of artist to listen to. talib kweli,common,mos def. there is a good and bad to everything in life. it just so happens that gansta rap and all the other garbage is considered the mainstream. it is so true that people can only focus on the negative attention but try something positive it never gets mentioned.

i cannot believe that techno is supposed to be the music of the world. now how many of you individuals have traveled the world to be able to say that techno reigns suprememe. please show me a worldwide sound scan report,or tell me how many of these countries you guys been to. i have traveled to so many different places and i know that rap is up there but its not the main thing that is listened to and i know techno is not up there either.

everyone in this forum have a right to say what they want to say but i get annoyed when people talk out of there butts. lets talk facts, not what you might see on t.v
T.V only shows you what it wants you to see.
