The reality is that rap music is greatly misunderstood. The media often portrays rap music as negative and focuses on rap music more when it is related to something undesirable. Many media stories identify rap music as a catalyst in problems such as teen pregnancy, crime or some other negative social issue that existed long before rap music became prevalent. The truth of the matter is that there is rap music that is positive and can serve the purpose of improving social consciousness by increasing awareness of some of the issues that many residents of our nation's inner cities face. Just because a rap artist speaks of less than desirable subjects in his or her music does not mean that they intend to corrupt the minds of the audience. Rap music is entertainment and should not be treated any differently than any other form of entertainment out there. The bottom line is that all rap music is not degenerate and consideration should be taken when analyzing the message that the music is presenting.
Hip hop has been vital in promoting social and political awareness among the youth of today. Rap music educates people from several different perspectives and raises many social issues. Rap is channel for people to speak freely about their view on political or social issues and by doing so, it engages teenagers to become concerned and aware of these issues. This is important in making the youth aware of the world around them and the conditions they face in society, enabling individuals to discuss ways in which they can make a positive change within society. A few of the issues that hip hop has created awareness in are racial discrimination, individuality and the importance of education and believing in your dreams. Hip hop also is a reflection of the soul and mind, and is a solace for both the artists and listeners who may be struggling with the same issues. Music in general brings people together, but the youth of today can relate to the struggle and difficulties that most rappers talk about. Since the release of Grandmaster Flash's "The Message" in 1982, rap music has adopted a more political tone. Rap music, more than any other genre, has alerted both private and public citizens of the plight of the lower classes in urban areas among other issues. Some rappers are known for their controversial lyrics can often bring attention to greater issues.

Wake up at 6 get home at 9 working hustling bus taking to the 9th circle I be residing in. Deep down inside hurting winning preying, chillin representing the set. I remember back in the day might have been yesterday. Haters be steady hating, I be happy for the jealousy on the low, preying for em. Blessed up the saint, the light through the darkness. Chad J almighty, Bruce lee, Ali, I just might be. So everyone love4sound now. I'm trying to blog and songwriting be locked in the mind, shit problems, haters be like he be lying, problems shit it's the solutions to get to the finer things the love and the money. But back at it, subjectively speaking we the shit and Sin City's putting a fan on it so the world can smell it. The 80's baby old school style got the streets saying it's the new school swag fuck the haters proudly finger up with a smile ha I b around the block. I'll turn it up, make it hot, make my label blow up, and make my fans feel like they wanna blast off. Spacey Jam tired of that popov vodka its time for my Merson Chodka to gift wrap this present to Mr. Lee no discount and free for me, ya feel me cuz I know I do all day. Partying like a rock star fucking like a pornstar and talking like a disc jockey with the pen as the key, workers movin weight, Penske. Running like an Arabian moving around, the King of Sin City! Flying underground, swimming through the sky, King of the land. Best know if you don't you will soon. I deserve everything I get; the pain, the money, and most importantly the love of my worldwide family. Love4Sound Records
