Rap is popular. Real popular. Were we to guess, we'd estimate there are probably, like, at least 600-700 people who listen to it each day. That's a lot. Sadly, some of those people are doing so in error. Appealing as it is, too much rap can be a bad thing. Some people just need to take a break.
There are, to be sure, certainly a solid portion of those 600-700 people that listen to rap that should not be listening to rap, just as there are, to be sure, very certainly a bunch of reasons that the people listening to rap that shouldn't be listening to rap shouldn't be listening to rap.

You keep saying "loc" but you're neither from L.A. or a gangbanger.
You keep calling your mom "ma dukes" or "thun."
