My little brother brought up something today actually. I told him about this discussion, and he asked (in an antagonizing manner) to name one hip hop or pop song that has a "negative" subject matter. Since I don't listen to the radio very often, I was unable to give him an answer. I know for a fact that it's in the media because of the amount of hype and exposure of artists, such as Lady Gaga, receive. Yea, I hear the typical-sounding stuff in stores, other people's cars, etc, but do the songs themselves actually deal with "bad" subject matters?
