I've been hearing more and more about people wanting to censor rap music. Personally, I'm not a big fan of rap, but the fact is, it's a form of entertainment. Some people like it. It's just like, some people like sports and others think some sports are too violent. It's just entertainment. You're not being forced to listen to, watch or take part of it. Yes, some music, movies, tv shows and other forms of entertainment can contain questionable material, for younger audiences, but that's what ratings are for. If people would just obey those ratings, we wouldn't have people blaming kids who listen to certain music or play certain games, on doing things they do.
Hopefully we'll have stricter laws, in the future. I can't count the number of times, I've played Diablo 2 and see some little kid, who isn't old enough for the game, either crying about something or cursing their head off at people.
If a person under the age of the rating of the form of entertainment (game, movie music, etc.) is able to get their hands on it, then the store, child and parents all should be at blame. Not the company that produced the product. They gave it the rating for a reason.
