Why do you think rappers use the n-word and
words that are insulting to women?

Some women allow themselves to be disrespected. Some girls dance for money. Some girls throw themselves at rappers. C4

It’s just a type of saying. I see it as most people have different ways of seeing life than people in hip-hop.

Everybody uses the n-word. As far as the women — rappers are surrounded by a certain type of woman. That’s their world. Reg Wells

Because they think that’s what teenagers like to hear. It’s sad. They’re teaching young men to disrespect women. Teisha Ennis

What seems offensive to people outside hip-hop is not offensive to us. It’s a play on words. Sometimes someone says b--- and they’re talking to their wife. Woody

The respect levels among the youth have gone down. There’s no more leaders who set a good example. Larry
