Can Rapers Be Good Role Models
The deal with rappers in society is huge, since the days of 2pac, Biggy smalls, Snoop Dog, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre to Jay-Z, Eminem, Lil’ Wayne, 50 cent, Kanye West and so on. These rappers are best known for their lyrics and rhythms that have made them unique in the war of rap music. Some argue that rappers inculcate the negative life style and behaviors in the young generations such as “Life should be about smoking weed, money and sex” yet not all understand that these rappers ain’t all about that life. What is a role model? A role model is consider someone “who others look up to and admire. A role model provides inspiration and motivation to seek out accomplishments. Role models send messages about their beliefs by what they do and say.”
Rappers, are always target for their “wild” action such as the language they use in their songs, ways of dressing or living life. For example a team of research from the University of Berkeley California, made studies that “prove” rap music has a negative impact on those who listen to the “Negro music”.(rap/hip hop) This study proved how most of the young generation who listen to this music where most likely to end up having sex in an early age, use drugs such as XTC, drink alcohol, smoke weed and party more often than others. “It’s a health-risk in another way too, since rap-enthusiasts appear more aggressive as well: they are more often in fist fights and are more likely to threaten others with a knife or a gun. And risk being hurt by the way. “()
However, what these critics argue about rap music is not all to be true. Rappers rap about the truth that others prefer to ignore. African Americans are who predominately are involve in rap music just a few Latino/Hispanic and White(s) (Eminem) are able to make it to the game. The hardships of growing up in a broken home where there can be hardly any good education available for the young child can lead to the path of not being able to grow up with a good role model. 2pac, Biggy
