The f, n, b, and c words, the Rap/Hip Hop music industry wouldn't either!

Yeah, because 'Rapper's Delight' is full of them.

It would of course exist, it just would encourage certain artists to think of more creative lyrics for their music instead of pandering to teenagers who like hearing the naughty man say those naughty words. There are many brilliant rap and hip hop tracks that use a lot of profanity but still contain powerful messages in their music, and then there's Eamon's I Don't Want You Back.

Coolio's 'Gangsta's Paradise' contains absolutely no profanity whatsoever, and was for a while the biggest-selling rap single in UK history.

If I'd have put the words there I'd be banned for life!

Oh dear. How many rap albums have you listened to to form this extensive knowledge?

I can't imagine Public Enemy's 'He Got Game' without the F word.
If overused such language doesn't mean much but in many cases rappers are reflecting a normal discourse. These words exist for a reason, they have meaning.

(There's a lot of metal music that uses profane language, it would have to go to.)
