u know how i was tellin u about my bad hood. well, i used to not like rap then i had these gangster nahbors(in a real gang, i think it was the Crips ) and every friday night they would a bunch of sluts and play loud music and party. since their party room was closest to my room. i was awakened to some 50 cent rap and they played it from 12:00 at night to 5:00 in the morning. so i tried to hard to sleep. but i couldn't. and now i am adiicted to rap all thanks to them. and my church did this thing about how bad rap is and i wanna stop. so please give me advice. or if u have links to good music websites. tell me.

ps. the gangsters were cought by the police for illegal stuff and are now in jail for a wail.

    ok here it is. music is music. it isn't how you live your life. if you're starting to wear sean jean and southpole, beware because then you're probably being influenced by the way rappers live their lives. For example, i love the beatles but they were all on pot and had like no religion lol but it doesn't matter to me because it's just music! and some of michael jackson's stuff is good too, but again, i don't care about the way he lives his life. now rap does have some dirty lyrics and you should try to listen to other stuff but if you listen to it in the car, its just not... the end lol. Personally, i'm a rock person but i like some rap. I just prefer to listen to it on the radio because its somewhat edited and when there's a curse every other word it makes me twitch somewhat.. so that gets annoying. Ok i'm extremely sorry for rambling and i'll try to sum up my advice. You should try to take a break from it if you feel addicted because you should NEVER feel like you're addicted to ANYTHING! When that happens, you see it as if it were a god, and i know you don't mean to, trust me, i know! but that's what it becomes. and after a break if you think you can handle it without getting addicted again, listen to it in a fair amount of moderation and don't pay attention to their lives.

    its really easy to get rid f an addiction to rap. it was easy for me. i was hooked on it and i couldnt stop listening to it. and then i started to get closer to church and instead of rap i started to listen to both. then i learned how to read coptic and learned the hymns. so now i dont even listen to any music anymore but just hymns and liturgies. and remember that u have to pray and whenever u feel lie listening to music just pray or call someone so you dont get tempted

    Well, music and the addiction of it is horrible you don't need to listen to even the rhythm, listening to alhan is a better way to learn hymns don't listen to songs that can drift you from church aren't we children of God then listen to God when you are free do something exciting like playing a game on the internet don't think that music is one way to express yourself, it's just a bad influence to others you don't need music, when I was little I would hate people from church listening to music everytime they try to listen to it I just leave and I keep on telling them music is wrong but alhan is better, if you want to listen to alhan God will be proud of you, let me tell you this my friends when I was little used to leave me because I didn't like music and these girls were from church so I would ask them "why do you guys keep leaving me" and they say "because you don't like music" I mean music can change you in one way or another so you don't want to listen to music especially rap!

    Okay, here is a little quote: Rap can change you, Alhan can change you to better

    Ahlan is the best to choose, and learn the great hymns!
