I would also like to know what your thoughts are on swinging rap back to the culture of hip hop?

As a 40yr old mother of children under 14, I am proud to say that they do get the difference but that is simply because they were born and raised with me discussing our entertainment choices. I have always discussed how our entertainment can be an escape, an expression of ourselves, or something that we allow to shape our own mindset.

I can only manage those within my own home and then pray when they go out the door.

Do you have ideas on what we can do, of course starting on a grassroots level until others deem it worthwhile, to get the under 25 crowd to understand that a catchy beat and a ringtone rap is actually quite mind deadening?
I am afraid for the culture which was such a powerful positive in our communities and subsequently as a result to the rest of America.
I don't want what helped guide the greatest of our generation to turn into the downfall for the next.
