Gangsta Rap, Oriented Music and Dances |
|
"Gangster" Rap Music. "Gangster Rap" is music that glorifies the gang lifestyle. Recordings often bear "Parental Advisory" labels. This music can be a powerful propaganda tool used to promote the life that gang members live. Profits from illegal activities may finance the music careers of these rap singers. Rap music is often categorized as either "hard" or "soft."
Hard rap addresses gang-member experiences in inner-city America. The language used is often vulgar, obscene, and punctuated by four-letter references to sexual intercourse and the male and female anatomy. Hard rap music is banned by most American radio stations but can be purchased on tape or CD.
Soft rap often contains a toned-down, more socially acceptable version of the hard-rap message. When children listen to rap tapes or CDs, parents may think they are listening to a soft version of a rap song heard on the radio. In reality, their children may be listening to a hard version of the same song available only by purchasing a tape or CD.
