Music is Art Artists use music to express themselves Harsh environment sometimes creates harsh lyrics Explicit lyrics doesn’t necessarily create negative music
My Personal opinion Against Government intervention Parents should be more aware of what they kids are listening too For more conscious music if explicit

Rap music Under Attack Positive Vs. Negative Research the History before you criticize Rap music creates opportunity
