We have to try keep an open mind on all types of music but it don't mean you have to embrace it all. I like the singer Weekend, excellent voice to say the least, not sure if this current singer could be classified as rap, maybe R&B. But I have to admit that I'm shocked that what could be classified as hard core rap has lasted this long and still be as popular as it is. Even Disco from the seventies did not last more than five years and many people in the end burned their disco albums in protest. I have listened to my daughter boyfriend's rap music and I can honestly tell you that a lot of it degrades women and promotes violence. In retrospect one could say that Hard Rock promoted drug use. Soft rock groups like America seem to promote nothing less than a joyful listening experience in my opinion. But again keep an open mind and thank God that we can choose what we play on our systems.
