The Negative Impact Of Rap Music

Well known musicians have an extreme potential to make an impact on people, some for the better and some for the worse. We turn our music on when we are in the car and zone out while we are driving, in the shower just so we have something enjoyable to jam out to, or just to relieve some stress and pass time.
