Jay-Z on why understanding context is important in hip-hop music

Ever notice that the music genres of hip-hop and rap both have had shifts in their messages over time? In my opinion—like smoking is censored from being exposed to kids—music with violence, drugs, and anything sexual should be banned by the FCC. Go on YouTube, look up some of the more popular songs, most of them are filled with whores and thugs, leaving kids with twisted world views. Sex and violence sells, but it shouldn't be sold to impressionable children through music.
