Often we here the critique of Hip-Hop music from those who are shame of the lyrics of the youth of today. As a member of the Hip-Hop generation, it was in my youth that NWA released "F-da police", The same year B.B.D. released "Poison". I only ask that we not forget that Hip-Hop is nonetheless an art form that only portrays the reality in which our society lives. Take notice that each generations artistic movement is fueled by the priors struggle or success. So when you here the harsh lyrics of todays youth, remember that it is not the artist that is at fault, for an artist can only be true to themselves when the music or medium reflects the reality in which they live. So, we must look at society as a whole, which provides the atmosphere for today's artistic movements(Hip Hop).
