“We don’t want to broad-brush hip-hop music altogether,” said Lt. Skip Arms, a police spokesman, “but we’re looking at a sub component that typically glorifies, promotes criminal behavior and demeans women.”

 In the news report done in 2007, rap and hip-hop is a problem in Colorado. At a local club (Eden Nite Club) the DJ played a hip-hop song that excited the crowd that might have lead to a fight afterward. A lot of shootings and problems happen throughout the year and the police have assumed that all the occurrences took place after leaving the club. The author shows that he also is against hip hop because of the fact that any club plays whatever music he has or is asked to play, and maybe just at the time the song came on it made a fight happen; however, blaming one genre of music to force problems is not right. Hip hop is repeated multiple times in the article. Even those who were interviewed gave their thoughts about what happen, but hip hop or rap was targeted.
