That question is so vague that there could probably be 100 songs that fit that description. Usually a line or two of lyrics would be the least we'd need to figure it out.

i dont like rap because the lyrics are about cars money and hos. and the women in rap videos just encourage it for money. it drives me crazy! i prefer music that actually has some kind of meaning to it, not just something with a good beat and encourages young girls to "shake their money maker like youre getting paid" something like that, i try avoid listening to such crap.

check out the protest songs of the 60's, the rise of r&b and black influence on rock and roll, and the hip hop and rap era.  you could just google those topics and type african american culture in the search bar with each of them.

Probably has nothing to do with the fact that the music is "rap". It would be the content of the words that would be of concern.\n\nMatisyahu is rap music that God would approve of. (In my opinion.)\n\nThe link below is another piece of rap music He would probably approve of:

Because that's what y'all spend your money on.\nThe best rap album ever came out in 1970.  The "Last Poets".  \nThat's from where they stole "Party and Bull$hit and Party....\nSome might even die, before the revolution comes"

Well, the problem happens when you start talking to people as groups rather than individuals. The singers of these lyrics do not represent "The Black Race" as a whole. Neither is there some monolithic group of "Liberals" who are all the same and all believe the same thing. Condemning lyrics you don't believe in makes sense, but you can't take that as having some kind of global implications for race relations. It's unfortunately a lot more complicated than that. The same way the rap singers are generalizing about "America's white boys."

it depends on the song. you have different typpes of rap. you have ur commercial rap vs your crunk vs you gangster rap vs hip hop. hip hop is the type of rap im more prone to enjoy listening to. it has meaning and the majority is not offensive in any way to anyone. especially that new song by lupe fiasco called "kick push" tellin the story of a skateboarder now wen u get into songs such as CAmron's "suck it or not" which, while catchy as well as offensive, i tend to steer away from songs of that nature.

It is a cute song.  It is clean and tells a story.  Nothing wrong with it.  Could be realistic enough.  A lot of rap songs tell story's this one is clean, not a lot of rude cursing in it.  Doesn't promote anything that isn't already real it the world one way or the other.  Just tells a cute story.  I like it.

YES!!!...I mean look at rap today, all the talk about, ALL THEY EVER TALK about is guns,sex, and violance. Some rappers even pride themselves over their "gangsta" past lie it were some trophy. They talk about how the media is bringing them down when in fact they themselves are bringing the blackman down with their hate music. Thats right I said hate music, why..? Go to any music store and look for any black rappers album and play it, you'll notice at least one reference to how the "white man" did this to him, 'the white man" did that to him, worse some even claim "the white man" forced him into selling drugs and pimping. Nigger please, I'm black and im sick of rappers today. i used to enjoy rap music back in the old days when the rap was clean yet addictive. Everything the rap industry once stood for is now being destroyed by narrow minded fool who still got their mind in the ghetto eventhough their living in luxury now.
