What better way to speak to the youth than having their own youth speak to them with raps. This is something that can expand fast because of the speed digital content travels. People in Dubai and Suadi already have American type of TV shows and fashions, why not have rappers spread correct/effective/true knowledge to the undeveloped parts of the world, especially the devloped parts. While I, myself am not a rapper or Muslim, I can speak on behalf of music, music is a story that we can all relate to, whether it was that special boy or girl that broke our hearts, what different is this for a population who can feel cool but getting frustrations off of their chest at the same time. This is communication at its best, but who will be the first Rapper to spread the word, that will be interesting to see. I agree.
