Rap music, "crazy people music," the old Haitian woman said

"Do you kids even understand what the music is saying?" She asked.

The Truth: None of them understood what the music is saying because not of them speak English. It's mainly explicit lyrics that I do not dare translate and post on in this article.

I'm sure the old lady would prefer some good old-fashioned Haitian konpa music but, the new generation Haitians, they are more into this Hip Hop, Rap Kreyol and Raboday thing.

I mean, seriously, I've been in the United States for almost 30 years and I cannot understand most of the lyrics in those rap songs.

Is rap music people music? I would not put it that way what I have to tell you this: The older generation Haitians are very conservative.
