http://gmu.eduok so thinking about our discussion last week about hip-hop and there being no difference in age range in the music, is that because of the kids listening to what they shouldn't be or the quality of the music. I can't appreciate some of the music I hear today because I feel like it's kind of immature. I don't know really half the time if it's real or not, or if it is just like "this is easy I can say nothing relevant over a beat and I will make millions of dollars" Maybe I am ignorant to it and just don't know, but it doesn't give me a reason to want to know. I don't feel like I used to hearing a song on the radio and saying "yeah this is nice, who is this?" I don't really get that feeling that I used to get. Now don't get me wrong I definitely think that kids are listening to things they shouldn't be and reacting to it which does have a lot to do with the home front, but we also have to look at how much substance is in this music. I feel like it is targeting kids.

Interesting post . . . personally, I haven;t listened to FM radio for abut 4 years. I went to a Wizards game on Saturday and 93.9 (WKYS) was there . . . really wack... do we really need to hear Souljah BOy for the 300 millionth time?
