    This African-American wonders why you mainline rap when it is not music. The rapper need not know an instrument, or sing a melody. In fact, there is no melody and the beat, the rhythm, are always the dumbest, the simplest. This subhuman performance has replaced folk music all over the world. In Africa, rap is played so much that we see a real decline in all those African folk traditions. They are becoming extinct before your eyes. You should tell your audience why you play so much rap. Please look more closely about the ‘rap business.’  Examine how the corporations are still in a race to the bottom. Gangster rap (which it all is)  is subhuman noise, misogynistic, blared around the world. Our inner city kids are not making it and you think rap is acceptable ‘music.’ It is not music. By the way, African Americans have four traditions of world class music: spirituals, jazz, the blues and Mo-town.  Why not compare rap to these traditions? Why not examine what the record companies and radio stations are doing to music worldwide?And please don’t make us turn your station off.
