No body is saying rap is the primary cause of violence, we're saying is reinforces violence. It teaches violence, it glorifies violence, it popularizes it, it OKs it, it perpetuates it when it should not be perpetuated. Violence against one's self via the glorification of drug use. Violence against out brother in the glorification of murder. Violence against our women, in the case of being premiscuous and even encouraging women to be homosexual ("turning out"). Violence against the community by selling drugs in our community and to the members of the community. Violence against the police (ok this one may be okay in some circumstances cause police be on bullshit) And finally violence to the children by way of being present and witness to this. By seeing this shit with their eyes, by mimicking the actions of violent adults, by way of living in drug houses that are raided and strung out parents, and other family members. By way of crossfires and stray bullets.
We're the only race that makes music that glorifies the killing of our own and when you look at the numbers, we're the only race that is in an industrialized country that shoot each other like animals. Oh its cause we're poor...No, there are other poor people in the world and they do not shoot each other like they are in a war. Stop making excuses. Nothing good can come from this violent rap. The killing rap, the 21 savage shit, the cheef keef shit. There's some little nigga out there right now, amping himself up listening to that shit. He certainly ain't listening to Will Smith or Kendrick or Chance or JCole to amp himself up. This drill rap is poison. Shit got Ja Morant all fucked up. He rich and it got him. Got him out of millions of dollars. what do you think its doing to a 14 year old? Get out of here son.
