'I'm either too black or not black enough': One teenager's experience
On the topic of music I’m repeatedly surprised at how rap&#x2F;hip-hop music has gained popular acceptance and become what’s “cool”.<p>There are definitely some songs in that genre that I enjoy but most of it is unbearably mysoginist, vulgar, materialistic and shallow.<p>I have brought this up with friends in the past and been told “we just like the rhythm and the beat” - which often I do too - but I can’t separate it from the lyrics.
