Actually, it's entirely relevant.

Did you read the links that Darryl posted? They give a lot better 
insight into why it is relevant than I can. Let me try to give it to you 
in a nutshell though;

Rap and Hip Hop originally came from the black community and are still 
probably the largest consumer of this style of music. So you can say 
that, to an extent, Rap and Hip Hop are "black music".

Traditionally, blacks were compared to primates as a way of showing that 
they are racially inferior to whites. This was particularly true during 
the civil rights movement and after the end to slavery.

Like the noose as a reminded of lynching, comparisons to primates is a 
particularly charged issue. This is why American history is relevant.

Diplomacy; The art of making a point without making an enemy.

If you want to break it down like this, fine. We are a pack animal. For 
the pack to work, we have to think about the other members of our pack. 
If you go around pissing on them, you can't be surprised when the pack 
turns on you.

So with that out of the way, lets drop the sticks and talk, like you 
would like to.

Why do you think rap and hip hop is causing the "disintegration of moral 
values that goes through within this society has no equal through out 
the globe"? Particularly in light of your comment: "I am myself a total 
ignorant on music. I have no idea what rap means."
