Taboo or no, violence, sex, etc all have an immediate subliminal appeal to the human brain.

You say it's a proven fact, yet you haven't given any evidence to prove your claim. Also, I know from experience (which is alot more than wikipedia can say) about people who listen to rap. And most of them are some of the most intellegent people (with developed minds) who are very open-minded to music in general. I'm sure music does not define someone's intellegence it is just a preference. And as explained several times before, not all rap includes violent, or sexual lyrics/images.
What you call scientifically developed is a farse, unless of course you say thier frontal lobes, notibly the slowest developing part of the brain, are formed yet? Honestly. It is a common excepted fact. You can search the net all your life and you will find this information is commonly supported linkage.

Also, you are not attacking any of my points. I never said that people who listen to rap are doomed to be retarded. I never said that all rap is bad [content wise]; just that which gets the most exposure.

If you want to debate the points; debate what I say. I know of a lot of people whom listened to rap, and in my experience all but one are not on drugs, and 4 of em are smurfing dead from drug deals now. This evidence is circumstantial, and I do not use it. Also, for demanding evidence, I find it funny that you used personal and unbacked evidence yourself.

Now, I am not trying to be a jerk or a dick. I am just rebutting. Plz don't take any critiques or rebuttles personalyl
