Rap music to blame London Riots

So, as I was bored and browsing zeh internet a bit I found this:

http://www.mirror.co.uk/most-popular/headlines/2011/08/10/london-riots-is-rap-music-to-blame-for-encouraging-this-culture-of-violence-115875-23333250/

QuoteLondon riots: Is rap music to blame for encouraging this culture of violence?


What the fuck? Its always the same bullshit, the same idiots either blame it on videogames or on rapmusic. Come on man... Get a grip and be real with yourself, rapmusic aint got nothing to do with the bunch of retards who are burning down complete cityblocks.

QuoteI blame the pernicious culture of hatred around rap music, which glorifies violence and loathing of authority (especially the police but including parents), exalts trashy materialism and raves about drugs.

The important things in life are the latest smart phone, fashionable trainers and jeans and idiot computer games. No wonder stores selling them were priority looting targets.


Fuck you Paul Routledge(writer of the article) for being such an ignorant asshole.

sad excuse for parents that cant raise a child
"must be rap music & videogames"
nope, ist just fkin horrible parenting
Cant always blame it on the parenting, but still, how fucking stupid must someone be to blame those fucking riots on music?
Parent
no ofc, cant always blame them, but its their responsability
cant rly blame any1 or anything 100% its still mostly they ppl themselves that make horrible decisions
Parent
No you can't always blame it on parents but it is their job to guide their child in the right direction in life. They are the ones that are supposed to teach their child morals and give their child aspirations.
Sadly when your family is broken, parents divorced, it doesn't help a kid who is already living in a bit of a shitty area. Some of these kids just need a father/mother figure and a slapped arse when they do something they shouldn't.
Parent
hip hop = truth

at least that's what it used to be
retards are retards
rap rocks!
Parent
I saw on some site a Police officer is blaming grand theft auto for it!
LETS ALL BLAME CALL OF DUTY FOR THIS
GANGSTER RAP MADE ME DO IT
you have to blame all the violant videogame for the riots in the city


GTA for example !
parents to blame!
Well I can see how it can maybe have an effect slightly if the guys are already fucked up from bad parenting/childhood and their living circumstances but it's not really to blame I guess. Rap music sucks anyways :::::D
i personally blame Lady Gaga and Elton
Make up, fashion, media. everything that creates and have influence on something you're not, is the responsible if you're to blame anything.

Music is almost every time a matter of taste, not influence.

e: Rap is mostly about reality, feelings and so on is it to blame these ppl to appreciate reality instead of the mainstream shit music we hear on the radio everyday? Isnt it the ppl who look the other way to blame? The mainstream crowd who might think everything is al right got their fancy phones and clothes listening to some music repeating "Life is good" 10 times in 15 seconds. Who think you're happy and feel well just cause you look good with your make up on and laugh with your friends about how nerdy that guy in class is.
There are so many factors its too simple to blame one thing.

Parents are a big part of what is wrong. Yet those parents have not been educated themselves on how to bring up children and care for their family. Parents blame schooling yet generally it is down to a parent to teach good morals to a child... not schools. If the schools are sooooooo bad in those areas why aren't the parents trying to educate their children on their own time? Maybe they should turn off xfactor and take their kid to a museum... allow their kids to have aspirations in what they want to do in life. If they say they want to be a [insert profession here] then as a parent they need to do everything possible to make that happen... even if thats just reading a book about the profession every night.

Fashion and music all show luxeries that most can't afford... it instills jelousy and greed in the public. People WANT new trainers, new cars, a huge house etc.
Most folks moral compasses are wrong at the moment and this really needs to change. People don't help each other anymore... its all about selfishness.
I blame Tosspot, people are demanding another CC event.
ask Speaker
The reason is tea. I have proven it with this explaining picture:

what the fuck?
Parent
No no no no
They're simply celebrating because they finally know where da hood at.
np, always looking for excuses from games/music if parents cant raise their kids properly
I'd start rioting too if I had to listen to rappers like Tinchy Strider, Sway and Chipmunk.
So in some way, you can blame rap.
1 word: lol.
