  Hip Hop and our Children: The influence and impact it has on them?
  

  Good Morning All
   
       Yesterday I had a great show on," Hip Hop influence on our children and the society", on blogtalkradio. If you did not have the opportunity to listen live, check out the archive of the show. It was really great thanks to all the callers that call in.
  
      Let me begin by saying Hip-Hop is a culture. It is a way of life which includes fashion. It has its own dialect. It is a unique blend of rhythm of beats composed with captivating rhyming words. True hip hop is expressed through artist and it's a clear representation in some cases of the thoughts , dilemmas, and situations occurring in the neighborhood at the present time. Hip-Hop is definitely a huge influence on all of us whether it is through fashion style and its music. Hip- Hop is loved by everyone worldwide. As parents we have to ultimately take the responsibility of what influences our children and there lives. Ultimately we want our children to see positive role modeling and what is right rather than wrong. Of course no one is perfect but we has parents still have a bigger influence on our children.
      I do believe that artist should sensor their music, but at the end who am I kidding what I want and the reality is so far fetch.I know that if artist wants to sensor there music that it can be but also seem to not be real "Hip-Hop" because it is all about politics of the industry and making money. The A& R & companies executives know what is going to sell  and it is surely no sensored music  because it might be too boring, and of course that DOES not sell. We must take a stand as parents to our children and communicate what is right and wrong.It is in our best interest to explain to them why you are not allowing them to listen to songs that are degrading and have high sexual content in regards to women? We have to not blame others for our role as parents. Although it would be nice for artist and media outlet such as B.E.T and radio stations to not play the music that is extremely explicit, they are going to do it, so ultimately we have to say NO !!!. So at the end Hip-hop is a influence in our society such as fashion , music, etc but at the end it is up to the parents to see that thier children are being guided in it's right direction.
  
     Again  Thanks to the guests Benny Negro of the BENNY NEGRO SHOW, Coach K of the blogtalkradio, and Miss.Terryl Ebony of Blogtalkradio and MYDC for coming on the show and being part of the solution. Let's all work on making sure our children are being influence correctly.
  God bless and continue to walk in your blessings
