The First Amendment of The Bill of Rights for the Constitution guarantees the freedom of speech. Over time the freedom of speech has been fought for and debated. By the U.S. guaranteeing the freedom of speech you would believe that we are allowed to express ourselves in anyway that we would want but that is not the case. Hip-Hop has always been a target for being the scapegoat for things that are going on in the world. “Hip-Hop is corrupting the minds of the youth,” as many adults and government officials say time and time again. Artists are just speaking as they once felt as they were growing up or on their own life experiences. Teenagers can relate because we are already at that state or already experienced some of things that they are rapping about. I’m not saying that every artist and the songs they write are appropriate but you can not blame that on the whole community. Artists are just as any other people in the world, there are some good and bad but everyone always seems to put the bad first and let them represent the whole community.
