		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Music has charms to soothe the savage breast.&quot; Well, in the case of hip-hop all it&#039;s just the opposite.
Come on down to the inner city people where hip hop is the only music they listen to. It&#039;s a Dantesque hellhole.
Maybe sombody should pipe in Chopin, Mozart and Vivaldi--it might help.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Beyond Bill O&#039;Reilly&#039;s comments where is the Right attacking hip-hop?  I don&#039;t see it. I don&#039;t think Bill O&#039;Reilly speaks for all conservatives.  You were right to ding him on his Jay-Z remarks, but your arguments to him don&#039;t extend to conservatives as a whole.  I&#039;m not seeing evidence to support your assertion that conservatives as a whole unfairly reject hip-hop.

When the artist Kid Cudi rejects negativity in hip hop, is he being unfair? Is he not showing proper deference to hip-hop?   Is he alienating people that appreciate the art form?   I don&#039;t think he is.  From what I&#039;ve seen, conservatives aren&#039;t doing anything different.  They reject the negativity.  I don&#039;t recall ever seeing a conservative complain about hip hop for any other reason.  The message that it is not all negative is a good one, because that&#039;s true.  We should support artists like Kid Cudi, for example, who care about the impact their words have on young people.   

I think that we can help emphasize what&#039;s good in hip hop. If you were to, for example, interview a positive role model like a Kid Cudi, I think you&#039;d find that Frontpage readers would be unanimously supportive.

I&#039;m not sure why you&#039;re so intent to malign us as a group in this piece.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article is written by a public relations guy.  Conflict of interest, anyone?
Jay-Z admits to having stabbed his own brother at age 12 because his brother took some of Jay-Z&#039;s jewelry.  Jay-Z is unrepentant about having sold crack for a living.  Jay-Z took a plea deal for charges of having stabbed Lance Rivera at an album release party in 1999.  Jay-Z&#039;s song &quot;Big Pimpin&quot; celebrates the beating, rape and general degradation of women.  Jay-Z collaborates with Snoop Dogg, whose song &quot;Ain&#039;t No Fun (Unless the Homies Get Some)&quot; is known as the gang rape anthem.]]></description>
