I'd be happy if they implemented one long bleep for Justin Bieber's et al. songs. Oh, wait, that's censorship too . HMMM, how to get rid of that little puke's ear poison?

Several states are considering re-editing Twain's Huck Finn, et al, to take out the 200+ instances of the "n" word. Time and place, folks, time and place. A marker of historic time and place.
Hey, let's hold Rubens accountable for sexism, and our forefathers for thinking slavery was OK. And let's hold Freud accountable for getting so much of it wrong.
And, All in the Family is being pulled from (ancient) syndication in many American markets because of the racial and ethnic slurs being currently un-p.c.
As for the word "faggot," I prefer, gifted, artistic, sensitive or "you no good filthy co_ _su_ _er."
Depends on what I'm doing when they say it. (insert smiley face)

Rap isn't singing; it's chanting, and it isn't music 'cause there's no melody. I respectfully disagree. I believe there are social/cultural circumstances which should be considered. There's all kinds of music from all over the world (some of which isn't commonly known and possibly never heard because it's tribal music etc.) that quite possibly wouldn't fit into that category. I know nothing of the subject, but I briefly scanned over an article on Wikipedia regarding the definition of music , and it states that- " How to define music has long been the subject of debate; philosophers, musicians, and, more recently, various social and natural scientists have argued about what constitutes music. The definition has varied through history, in different regions, and within societies. Definitions vary as music, like art, is a subjectively perceived phenomenon. Its definition has been tackled by philosophers of art, lexicographers, composers, music critics, musicians, semioticians or semiologists, linguists, sociologists, and neurologists. Music may be defined according to various criteria including organization, pleasantness, intent, social construction, perceptual processes and engagement, universal aspects or family resemblances, and through contrast or negative definition." In the article, there are many purported definitions, and I would adhere to the Social Construct definition - " Post-modern and other theories argue that, like all art, music is defined primarily by social context. According to this view, music is what people call music, whether it is a period of silence, found sounds, or performance." Again, I have nowhere near the experience that you have, Alan (it's literally limited to a quick read of said article), but it's just my 2¢.

Rap may not be singing, but it is music. I don't like it, you don't like it, but you can't deny that some people DO like it. It's like saying romance novels aren't books.

Music ain't music just because someone calls it that and neither does art become art for the same reason, imo. If a person sneezes on a sheet of bristol board, hangs it up in the Louvre and calls it art....well....

Well, it's a good thing you're around so we know when things are music and when things are art!

I find it funny all you white boys have such guilt about the word nigger. Where the hell did you guys grow up, white bread world.
Before you fellas get dead in my ass, I have a black sister in law, nephew, niece and my niece is dating a black man. These guys don't get no where near as upset about the use of the word as you guys do.
