The saddening truth is that there are black women who degrade themselves sexually and black men who sell drugs for a living and men in gangs or prisons. If parents do not feel that children are mature enough to listen to rap and interpret the message, then they should censor their child's music, just as they should television shows and magazines. Women who do not degrade themselves sexually should not be offended when they hear about their sisters that do degrade themselves. The artist that uses a derogatory term to describe a certain group of women is addressing that particular group of women. Sadly, these are the issues that face youth today.
Rap is their form of self expression.
The Hip-Hop culture is a representation of the times.
