if i did have kids, i would ABSOLUTELY encourage them to listen to this stuff. and i'd be right there with them, explaining what everything means so that they truly understand. my parents made sure i was exposed to everything, unsheltered, i learned to take responsibility for myself. i make sure that i make the right choices and make the best of my life because i know they love me and want the best for me, which makes me want that for myself and for them. i'd say that worked very well for me as well as my 3 siblings. i do make my parents listen to the best of eminem, 2pac, snoop, dr.dre, jay-z, and others. oh, also my youngest brother who is a teenager, i got him into it. people dismiss rappers' messages because they don't like the messenger and they manner in which it is conveyed. that is very unfortunate. open your mind, get past the profanity and you'll see that they have some very important things to say and truths to express. they are rapping about their own lives, reality. but the censors don't want to hear it. i think it's funny that "American Beauty," the brilliant movie about the reality that many families in america live through... it is critically acclaimed. it is actually not much different from the types of messages that rappers send, but American Beauty came across in a much less threatening/offensive manner so people were able to digest it. even better, they convey these messages with brilliant poetry. i would also say, shakespeare was controversial back in his day. and yes, i am likening eminem (and 2pac) to shakespeare. i'm not going to make any further issue of this. after all, i am not a missionary. i can give you this link which says some similar things as i'd say. observer.com

hello ms tudor, please be aware that it is mostly jews in hollywood and the media that are constantly bombarding your children with this morally degrading filth. eminem and a plethora of other gangsta rappers are published by units of vivendi universal. edgar bronfman jr, who is son of the president of the world jewish congress and inheritor to the seagrams liquor fortune, sold seagrams to the gentile-owned vivendi run by messier. of course in the wake of the media implosion they have forced messier out and are seeking to install the jewish, homosexual, media-mogul barry diller (of USA networks fame) at the helm--giving jews total control yet again over the second largest media empire in the world. of course they never really gave it up, bronfman and his father (last i checked) are the largest shareholders of vivendi and both are on the executive committee and the board of directors.
