current hip hop songs that glorify violence, pimps, etc and need taken off the air?

No.

Voltiare.

If your children aren't old enough or mature enough to understand the difference between entertainment and reality, then you need to be a responsible parent and keep them away from that sort of thing until they are.

Most the songs mentioned here suck. I've been listening to rap for a really long time (sugerhill gang) and most are sad. While I love rap it has degraded into pure crap. Here's a list of P.I.M.P. songs that have rhythm, actual content, beat and just makes true rap lovers throw up the W (if you don't know what the W is then you don't know rap). Dru Down,Pimp of the Year, Dru Down's Greatest Hits, 2006 Dru Down, Old School, Chronicles of a Pimp, 2011 Wurrs My Cash, Chingy, Jackpot, 2003 Pimp Juice, Nellyville, Nelly, 2002 Get Tha Money, Under Tha Influence, 2002 Diamonds, Spice 1, The Black Bossalini Bad Intentions, Dr. Dre, The Wash, 2001 Money, Hoes & Power, Jermaine Dupri, Instructions Suparfly, Jermaine Dupri, Instructions Rules of the Game, Jermaine Dupri, Instructions Money Maker, Ludacris, Release Therapy The Set Up, Obie Trice, Cheers Player's Ball, Outkast, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik Gotta Get This Money, Soopafly, The Wash, 2001 Angry Enough, Suga Free, The New Testament Why U Bullshittin, Suga Free, The New Testament Big Pimpin, The Dogg Pound, Dogg Food Some Cut, Trillville, The King of Crunk Westward Ho, Westside Connection, Bow Down P.I.M.P., 50 Cent, Get Rich or Die Trying

To whoever said that raps songs like that don't exist anymore, um, yeah they definitely DO. I know it was last summer, but "Ridin' Dirty" is all about being in a car with drugs and guns. And 50 Cent has a song from an album a couple years ago called "B**** Get in My Car". There's a lot more, but those spring to mind quickly. Parents can't be glued to their kids' sides constantly and I definitely think MTV and BET should be more responsible with music and videos they air. They specifically target the after-school set, when most parents are still at work. But it's not just rap, the same goes for bands like Marilyn Manson and the like. I'm a 22 year old college girl and I definitely listen to the rap and stuff while out, but I think it's really inappropriate for kids.

If you look at a Rap time line it has many parallels to rock music time line and since its about twenty years off that would put rap at the musical equal to eighties hair metal which was also all about sex drugs and bling it will only get better

I don't think they have that type of music anymore. Nothing about violence,pimps, or anything about political issues. All of that change when Tupac and Biggie died. From that, Raps has change. Now, Hip-Hop is about the dumbest thing you can think of.

i don't even listen to the radio

no.......but questions like these need to be removed from the section
