i think that that radio guy was a complete idiot, making uninformed sweeping generalisations about something he doesn't understand at all. given, akon seems like a bit reckless and foolish, but he obviously had no idea that she was a minor. yeah, it was a totally stupid thing to do but it looks like these prudish, morally neurotic, middle-class republicans are using the incident as yet another way to condemn "hip hop" music as a whole. the music that gives poorly represented people a voice in a country where things are up against them. i guess it just annoyed me the way he was speaking of the vague term "hip hop music" being the cause of these things, whereas this is one idiot who just happens to be a hip hop musician. you get testosterone fueled, idiotic men in all genres of music.
