Do you think rap music is violent?

[Knight Barida]

There have been times in the past where rappers were found getting involved in one violent matter with another based on matters involving women or drugs. Does it mean that the rap type of songs makes these guys become violent in nature?

Rap music started as a way for blacks to express themselves through music and their realities. The music itself isn't violent in nature - it's the media that's pushing all the degenerate music while the more conscious rappers hardly get any publicity.

Not at all. Rap music isn’t violent. It’s a form of expression for the artists.

I remember when rap originally started off as just freestyles.

I don't think it's violent at all. Cpvr summed it up pretty well, it's a genre that started as a way to express how the artists felt at the time. Over time it's gone a different direction, but it's not violent. There's many different artists who rap about different things so it's not all about drugs and women. The media just portrays the genre as degenerate because the media is racist.

 Yep. The media is the one pushing all the degeneracy.
