  "They say music can alter moods, and talk to you,
  but can it load a gun up for you and cock it too?
  Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude,
  just tell the judge it was my fault, and I'll get sued."
  
  -Eminem 'Sing for the Moment'

  Oh yes hip hop has done wonders for the image of black folk! Especially black women... If I was one of those conspiracy types, I might even think it was created by white supremacists to further their agenda. Look how it's popularized the N word for all to hum along and while women "back that ass" to the infectious beat. It's all so romantic!

  Talk about a provocative premise, with high racial over-- and undertones...
