     There is the feeling from a lot of quarters that hip hop/rap does 
indeed promote negativity.  It has nothing to do with like and dislike.  It 
is all about what the "music" says and stands for.  I am not big on 
classical music either but I don't believe it promotes negativity at all.  I 
guess if you can listen to hip hop/rap and not get an anti-social 
anti-establishment flavor then you and I don't hear the same things.
