Looking at the lyrics of controversial music at a concrete level may lead people to think it is the real threat to soc

iety. For example, in the ‘So Solid Crew’s’ music, most of their songs express “glorifying gun culture and violence” and encouraged men to use weapons as “fashion statements” (Gibbons). Still, this is not the only controversial band that promotes violence in their lyrics; however, most controversial artists promote large sums of violence in their works. “Gansgta’ Bitch” is an example of how the audience of their songs interpret the idea of committing crimes against women for their own pleasure. Words in “Gansgta’ Bitch” involve “I need a gangsta’ bitch/… stickin’ up girls from around the fuckin’way/…on Valentine’s Day doin’ stickups together” (Apache qtd. in “Contemporary Urban Music”). A crime that was committed recently by an 18-year-old was said to have been caused by the influence of controversial music that he listened to. ‘Fight Music’ was the song sung by Eminem that he listened to, and was assumed to be the cause of his attack on an old man on the street (Littleton). Eminem’s lyrics include violent imageries, such as those on raping women and setting up groups of friends to take his little sister’s virginity on her birthday (Morris and Rebecca).

Some believe that the lyrics of controversial music bring danger to society, while some contradict saying that these lyrics are just reflecting the negative issues of society.

While others may desire to censor the truth of the society, others may be blind to the truth and not be aware of what is really going on within the society. Therefore, as one is doing the issue of controversial music, there may be changes in perspective, because one can then see how controversial music is related to the danger toward society. It can also be said that one may see a wider rang
