Gladys Knight Speaks Out Against Hip-Hop

......"raises AN eyebrow..." Forgive my typing errors. I hit send before I proofread what I wrote. Trust me when I say that I can spell and use grammar correctly, but I know that I am not the best at typing.

Unfortunately rap/hip hop has been givein a bad name. In most genres of music, there has been music that was negative lyrically, but times have changed and what seemed so shocking back in the day hardly raises and eyebrow today. I think that some rap/hip hop music is good for the soul, but the heads of the companies and radio stations porgram what they want the people to hear, so positive music is not what is being fed to the audience. The audience is hungry for new music, and like a person who has been deprived of food, he or she will eat garbage if it is thrown on the table for them, so people eat up the musical garbage that the powers to be "allow" us to hear. I hope that Gladys (like I know her - LOL) gets to hear some positive music so that she can be more rounded. This would be a great time for a rapper to collaborate with her to help change the status and opinions!

OK! This is the Empress of Soul(more than Diva or Queen of) She is the top of the music industry, and WE ALL KNOW she is right. She didn't say all of hip/hop just the ones that vulgar and demeaning. She is a grandmother and I damn sho wouldn't play some of that stuff to mine, and neither would these rappers. This is what the hip/hop needs. Someone who not afraid to speak their point and give a lil' whooping to these rappers, they should take it in stride, and try to do better about really uplifting our community. I hold the record companies responsible for this, they could care less about what the community hears, just as long as they hear cla-ching! Cash rolling in. It's all about they money. Empress Gladys has been in this business over 50 years and still is a staple in the music, where will some of these rappers be in say 5 to 10 years.
However, I must say that I listen to some of this music myself and I would not think about playing for my Mom or Grandma and that's the way some think. The public likes it, cool, to each his/her own. I think we should be careful about what we put out there too. And remember we might have kids of our own, little girls who rappers call vulgar names never thought that they could be talking about their own. Explain that to your 16year old daughter, that daddy called ladies hoes and bitches. THINK ABOUT IT!

Gladys Knight didn't write any of the songs sampled by the artists you mention and she doesn't own the masters. I don't think she's collecting any checks.
