research into music censorship

Ofcom is an independent communication regulator in which they regulate TV and radio sectors. They make sure that citizens of the UK get the most out of communication service. If it this organisation that is in charge of what is censored on the TV we watch today, this ranges from music videos to the news. http://www.ofcom.org.uk/about/what-is-ofcom/

1 main rap artist that has had many song and videos censored the infamous marshal Mathers or also know and slim shady, his music has been called disgraceful and revolting, however his fans refer to him as a lyrical genius and he has changed the rap game for ever. Whether you like or dislike the artist the is no argument that the language in his songs is very explicit and foul but people argue about if he his music should be censored or even banned. The reason for this is because many people believe that where he has many young fans they are easily influenced and will copy and do what Eminem does and says.

(quote): Follow me and do exactly what the song says

Smoke weed, take pills, drop out of school, kill people and drink

Jump behind the wheel like it was still legal

The quote above is just one sentence from one of his songs role model, so if this is the  telling kids to do in his song then there is no wonder why people think his music should be censored  

Should music videos be censored?

Artist are very explicit and set bad remodels for there fans	If words are censored the video does not make sense
