Has It Gone Wrong... Again?! (Quotation-Paraphrase-Citation #3)

"Whom it's sweeping up are the ones who cannot handle the fall once they are thrown back out."
-Delilah Cummings, a student from Morgan State University.

This quote was stated by Delilah Cummings, a student form Morgan State University. She believes that the only reason why the youth are the way they are is because of their surroundings. Her essential question was "where is hip hop music going?" Her reasoning in asking that question is because, unlike other people, she thinks that it is slowly destroying the minds of the young people. She actually took the time to go out and observe young people, their environments, and the people they "hang" with. With her viewings, she saw that most of the time, it was the parents of these young people influencing them. This is where her quote began to take form. She does not think that the artists of  today's hip hop music is doing any harm, they mostly rap or sing about their inner feelings anyway. She's just trying to broaden the horizon for those who believe hip hop is the cause of these horrific acts of young people.

This article is about the effects of hip hop music on today's youth. A junior in college, Delilah Cummings, is aggravated with people blaming hip hop music being the cause of so many terrifying deaths of the youth. She stated a lot of quotes about how it may have influenced parents to teach or act a certain way around their child.
