Any ideas on how to prevent this?

Quiet Frankly i think this rapper might be right...I dont know what he wrote in he,s lyrics, but now a days Girls (women) are just Money chasing H**,s (Only care bout your money,car,and your property,s)...Also allot of people from a previous generation agree,s with me so i dont know why the rapper is being blamed for the truth ? i Mean if he,s realy making statements wich doesnt make any sense like (your sitting therre and think dude WTF! are you talking about) then that,s another story...

Rap in general is a very miss-understood genre....might be women unfriendly-very cursey,rough,rude,about gangs,drugz but that SHOWS probaly how black people their life wherre in the 80,s and 90,s due racism and being seen as a lower class.....Make,s sense ? maybe....maybe not.

Same goes for rock music you call screaming and raping a drum kit and shagging a guitar string to hell.....Music?!. No for me not for other,s it does that,s a personaly taste.
