Why so much vulgar in hiphop?

Is there a reason for so much swearing in hip hop and if there is a reason, what is it exactly. These days cats are even swearing in vernac and that sounds so much mo vulgar. :? :?:

Well hiphop is about expressing your self so if you cant justify that then why do you even listen to it man sure its not all about swearing but thats just the way it is

I prefer cleaner tracks lyrically, where the person has more to say than the profanities.There are times when it works in the context of the song and leaving it out would have possibly crippled the song.But in most cases, I prefer hearing profanity free stuff.Just easier on the ear.Makes for better storytelling too........especially to the little kids.U know, Trick luv da kids.

Though I gotta admit 2Pac's Hit em up is one of my alltime fav songs and thats loaded with cussing especially at the end.U can just sense the anger.But thats, in a way, justified..........not that I agree with it, but knowing how that song came about, it makes sense in the context.

geez!! a lot of u are on some sensitive tip... :?
i'm jst sayin, wether it's clean or dirty, if it makes sense n has a good sound to it... wtf? i'll bump it!! cuz at the end of the day it's all just entertainment, i never hear peeps complain about swearin in movies/tv. so what changes?
i mean, if i need me somethin more soulful i'll bump me some Black Thought or whatever (check out Touched By An Angel insteada OZ) n enjoy just as much! why y'all crying?

"i'm tryin to clear up my f***in' image,
so i promised the f***in critics
i wouldn't say "f***in" for six minutes..."

"Oh! u want me to watch my mouth? How? take my f***in eyeballs out n turn'em around?"

"i don't got that bad of a mouth, do i?
f*** shit a** bitch c***, shoobee-de-doo-wop..."

Viva freedom of expression Viva!! nuff said...

hey Ill

Nice Em quotes there.Remember me is a really nice one.I hear what u saying and I am cool with that, but just that I'd choose less profanity any which way, whether its on tv or music.Many times in movies, the profanity there is just unnecessary.Some times if used properly, can be unmatched in humor.
