As if you needed more confirmation that our society is a sinking ship thanks to uneducated rappers with bad character comes this study that surprises very few adults over 40.
“NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Teen-agers who listen to sexually degrading music, including some forms of popular rap music, are more likely to be sexually active than are other teens, a new study says.
The study by RAND Corporation surveyed 1,461 adolescents ages 12 to 17 and followed them for three years, conducting interviews in 2001, 2002 and 2004. At each interval, they asked the teens about their music and sexual habits.
The teens who listened to sexually degrading music—by such artists as rappers Lil’ Kim and Ja Rule—were “more likely … to initiate intercourse and other sexual activities,” a RAND news release said. (The study included sample lyrics from Lil’ Kim and Ja Rule
Example (R-rated) :
…bitch holla back
I’m a creature, smokin’ on hay since it was reefer
Drug ass flow like I been cut with either
Mark ass nigger don’t want a part of this nigga
Spark with this nigga, blaze bark with this nigga
Me and Ja Rule f—-n’ you hoe’s is what these guys do
Ain’t the type to buy you, mommy how you slide c–k inside you
Supply you, with ten bitches times two, I’m a mother f—-n’ animal…”
Although the study looked at all types of music—including hard rock, country and pop—it found that rap and rap-metal typically had the highest frequency of sexually degrading lyrics. The study found that the degrading lyrics negatively impacted both boys and girls, whites and non-whites.
Unlike music of decades past, the language in many of today’s songs that is “used to describe sex has become increasingly direct,” the study said.”
The study mirrors what pastors in the Christian community have been saying for years. This is a serious parental problem and far too many parents are falling down on the job.
We’re upside down, too many kids don’t want to grow up to president or scientists, they want to be rappers. And look at the characters who are rappers, 90% are morons. They couldn’t hold an intelligent conversation on any subjects outside ghetto talk. The kids that imitate them are unemployable and headed for trouble with the law. This garbage represents a more direct danger than ISIS or Al Qaeda, odd we don’ give it more attention.
Jack : ” far too many parents are falling down on the job.”
Far too many parents are blasting the music and indulging in the drug and sex activity in front of their kids. The kids are on their own and their lives will reflect it.
Our free speech nation allows this tripe but individuals don’t have to support it. thanks for speaking out about it. The best way to fight this stuff is through pressure about attitudes.
The movie industry is having to come to grips with the fact that more wholesome content is where the money is. I think the same is happening in music, albeit slowly. Let’s hope this reality leads to better choices in the content.
Did anyone happen to notice the story yesterday about vinyl making a comeback in Nashville? As the smokey lady singer from the 50’s sang, “Crazy…”
Reminds me of the talk by parents against Elvis and Rock and Roll.
Freedom and Liberty does not exclude a personal choice of music. That would be Big Gov
Dewey, it is about freedom alright, freedom to be an unemployable idiot, freedom to be bad parent and freedom to notice that they are and then tell them they suck!
