This article was about the language that has been in rap and hip-hop music. There have been new CDs out for many different famous rappers. It was recently when rap-artists have been set in court about the sexism and violence in their music. They also questioned [if] the marketers have done enough to shield young listeners from the violence. The graphic content has been claimed that the rap-artists are telling their stories of what they went through. I thought this article could have explained more about the parents who let their children listen to this music. It's their own choice. It is also the rappers' choice to sing and write what they feel. I believe that is what they are doing. The language has changed throughout the years and how it is used. The language in music is up to who is listening to it. The language is often used like it is in the music. the graphic content has been known to be out there in everyday language. It is just about how someone feels and the way they express themselves. It is a freedom of speech.

I have long been concerned about the language and behavior displayed in rap music. It is always a balance to decide where to draw the lines on appropriate behavior and censorship. It is a battle that seems to rage no matter what the topic. I enjoyed reading your comments, Nicole.
