Should a block now be put on all these vile rapper's words, which to me only incite violence against women and other violence and aggression?

I wonder if he felt that wearing the mask gave him the freedom to air some genuinely felt rage and mysogyny that is part of his character, or whether the lyrics just stemmed from a desire to sound like a rapper type character?
Either way, I would imagine his mum,along with any other women in his life, must be horrified at the expressed sentiments.
As to whether it should be banned or not- I am no fan of such vile sentiments, but whilst songs and videos of rappers performing songs that glorify killing and mysogyny are allowed, I am not sure that banning this specific output would achieve very much.
On a side note- why is it that many white rappers end up sounding like poor imitations of DJ Westwood, that gangsta rap DJ and vicars son whose own performance voice makes him sound like a pathetic wannabe West Coast US gangsta? They just end up sounding idiotic and puerile.

It would be very difficult to block violent and/or misogynistic (I had to look up that word) rap/death metal/black metal etc lyrics.
Those who dislike these forms of expression should loudly criticise it - but this won't do much. There's a huge market for both gangsta rap and death metal...it's just that rap sells more and has a higher profile.

LG, maybe that's just because that's how white rappers sound. No special reason why they should sound "black" (though they may be trying to). It's just part of the globalisation of music; some elements may be fruitful, some may not. I dislike rap lyrics very much (not all are abhorrent, but rather too many are), but I thought, for instance, the white r'n'b music coming out of Britain in the early 60s was wonderful.
Come on! You guys probably grew up in the days when women couldn't control themselves so Elvis had to be filmed waist up so as to avoid seeing his saucy wiggly legs. And the Rolling Stones, The Doors and some country & western singers had to change/censor their lyrics back in the day.... And lets not go into the dodgey Rod Stewart lyrics of the 70s regarding sex with schoolgirls....! :)
