ESSAY: Should rap music with violent lyrics be banned?
It is undeniable that music has the power to change people, change the way they think and behave. Therefore it is often asked: Should rap music with violent lyrics be banned? I don’t think so.
It is true that children and teenagers constitute the biggest percentage of the followers of such music; hence, they are easily corrupted. From it, they can get a wrong idea of women, violence, sex and drugs and see that as a ‘cool’ lifestyle. Which kid wouldn’t want the kind of life they see in these music videos; hot girls in bikinis chilling in a pool, alcohol everywhere and a mansion with enough guns to start a museum?
Nevertheless, rap music should not be banned because doing so goes against freedom. Not only the freedom of artists who want to express themselves but also the freedom of everyone. Nobody has the right to tell us what we can and cannot listen to. Furthermore, If they government were to censor music for being violent, for the same reason they would also have to ban horror or action movies, then novels… it would have no end.
To conclude, I strongly believe that music should never be banned, irrespective of its violent or strong message, because it is a form of expressing people’s feelings and because everyone has the freedom of listening to what they like.

Un escito muy avanzado. No veo errors obvios de gramatica pero tengo unos asuntos con el estilo y expresion.
From it, they can get wrong ideas about women, violence, sex and drugs and see that as a ‘cool’ lifestyle. usualmente diriamos "ideas" aqui, no "Idea." Tambien, que es el antecedente de "that"? Puede ser "idea" o"ideas"? Posible, pero lo veo como un poco debil porque una idea no es un estilo de vida. Por favor me entiende, entiendo perfecamente tu intencion pero la manera de expresarla es debil.
From it, they can get wrong ideas about women, violence, sex and drugs; such ideas can lead them to make lifestyle choices which are often harmful to others or themselves. Mi consejo es usar el punto y coma; es el signo de punctuacion olvidado en Ingles pero es muy util. Mira, acabo de usarlo de nuevo.

Well done, insightful piece with only a few minor errors. Regarding rap/hiphop music, I think the genre has been grossly misrepresented in the mainstream media since the end of the 90s, when it blew into all the channels and radio stations. The real elements of the genre are; rhymes (MC), break beats (DJ), dance battles (BBoy) and graffiti. It began as a self expression of the young minds in the most neglected parts of the urban society, where kids did not have enough to get by. So, attachments as hot girls in bikini, overflow of alcohol, big mansions and guns really have nothing to do with it and some of it even contradicts the origins of the genre. Just as jazz was a tool of protest for the minority, who were often marginalised (this does not necessarily be just the blacks and Hispanics of the US, but also the other minorities where rap became popular in its infancy- for instance, the Arabs and blacks of north Africa in France or the Turks in Germany, which are just two examples of many other similar environments of rap in its early days), rap/hiphop took its place, in terms of a protest tool for the same group. Of course the characteristics of the genre are quite different musically, but in some instances, quite similar, too.
Unfortunately, rap/hiphop, or for that matter, or any other genres, especially the likes of punk rock as well, are not quite what they are supposed to be. Whether one terms it as evolution, rather degradation, as I would describe it, can always be a topic of debate.
