No, most people don't know whats up with the inner city and how people live. It's drastically different than in the suburbs. When I drive my house in an upper class neighborhood to my cousins who lives in the projects, its like I'm in a new world, and I'm sure that most white kids who listen to rap would be scared as hell to come out there. Now however with rap, the sheltered suburban kids think they can relate and that they are thugs but thats not true at all. People won't know how bad inner city life is just through music, theyre going to have to learn first hand.

yeah, because underground music is soooooo readily available.
you're missing the point again. I know underground is where its at, but does the people who watch MTV, BET, VH1, etc all know this?

jess' two cents:
instrumental music can have a message (listen to the soundtrack of a beautiful mind by james horner, incredible)
yes, people can be influenced by music, but only if they let it. its not really the music, but the group who listens to it, etc. i listen to some rap, but then i'm a little white girl who wears american eagle. i like it b/c of the beat.
and who really cares? at this point, there are so many factors playing in the world today that we can't pin it on just one source (like music). it could be a mix of anything.
but then again, i grew up listening to James Talyor and REM, so what would i know
