How is rap music harmful to teens?

Answer 1

It would depend on personal preference as some would say yes because they do not like rap or hip hop and some would say no because they only listen to rap and hip hop. Everyone has their own opinion and reason why, but all in all, it is a music genre like all the others.

Answer 2

It is an art form their are stories that tell all different types of tales, in no way is rap bad for you maybe some of the songs talk about something you don't like but it isn't bad for you in anyway.

Rap can tell personal struggles or be used as a way to speak about issues found in this world. Good examples of this are songs like "Brenda's got a baby and "Kenji" Brenda's got a baby tells a story about a 12 year old who gets pregnant and ends up causing her life to spiral out of control. Kenji on the other hand tells the story of a japanese immigrant who was put in an interment camp during World War II even though he has done nothing.

Rap can tell stories that don't have to do with drugs and sex, these songs are created to raise awareness and help save others from these problems.

• Bad vocabulary; People will think that the rap artists are people that speak normally.
• Encourages being disrespectful to woman. Teenage girls who listen to rap will feel more obligated to engage in sexual intercourse before they are married (Too much sex can give you an STI).
