oh you are so right

I used to be pro-artist, considered it a free speech issue on any sort of censorship just like these guys here.

Then I joined a rock climbing gym that plays the local "dance" playlist which after 5pm is all rap.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing... this was some of the most degrading anti-woman crap I've ever heard... I stick my thing in her cha-cha and ha-ha I have aids cuz I'm a player... this song was about this guy who got aids as a drug addict and was going around infecting women... all the women in the songs are called "ho's"... its disgusting.

There was some rap early on (and maybe still around)... public enemy and the like, who were really trying to say something but this recent batch is simply a cheap play on teenage violence and aggression. To be honest, eminem is the best of them and that isn't saying much.
