How Does Rap Music Give Good And Bad Influences Of The Youth Today?

Most singers cuss in their songs which I think is really bad for the youth.
People in elementary school cuss and talk about stuff they should not talk about
so I think it tells more and more people to go out there and do whatever they want like cuss and talk bad

Rap does not destroy the minds of the youth b/c rock and some country can rap about death and stuff. Most of the rappers do drugs but most kids are not just going to find them everywhere. They are not going to copy any of the rappers and they have their own choice to listen to it or just not listen to it. The only bad influenced rapper i think would be lil wayne.

I am a youth so I can see what uyo mean...In alot of songs there is talk of death,drugs,sex,& a ton of cussing.Also some can be depressing.But what I like about rap is not the words but the beat and rythem 2 the songs!

I'm 15 and i listen to rap all the time and it hasn't changed me. I still like to listen to country, rock, and pop music and i go to church. I've never been arrested or done drugs and i believe in saving sex till marriage. There's nothing wrong with listening to rap

If you think the only rapper thats a bad influence is Weezy you havent listened to enough rap.  There are plenty of rappers who can provide a bad influence like Gucci, Yo Gotti, Jeezy, Yung Joc ect, but kids dont listen to the music cause they like the fact that can provide bad influences.  We listen to rap because we like the beat, lyrics, and rhythm
