couldnt view the text becuase no cookies/no script so i can't tell the tone. have you seen the outside lately. ganster rap is a huge part of whats going on in the united states right now. imagine it was never glorified to disrespect people, be insubordinate to the police or shoot your brother over drug turf. seriously, can you imagine what the states would be like right now? probably not the same seething and fomented mess it is. fox news, cnn, msnbc, nyt, wapo, alll propaganda outlets. unbiased main steam reporting died, and operation mockingbird is real. all tv is 'programming'. no one talks about chicago. how is 100 people shot in one weekend not a black lives matter issue? why do that many people get shot? the glorified ganster lifestyle? no, coulndt be. what of our 'parents'? because they remember a world where different ideas we exchanged and not condemned? when people respected one another? i am not refering to pre-segregation. when civility and etiquette were a thing. before it was acceptable to wear pajamas to the supermarket? fox news didnt do this to our parents. they are mad they f*ed up their kids by not wanting to be their parents. if fox news influenced our parents we would all be clean cut, say please and thank you, sir and ma'am.

All these issues existed before gangster rap. Gangster rap is a reflection of the culture and lifestyle, and people who gang bang are pretty aware of its existence. People who don’t gang bang are not listening to gangster rap and thinking, “golly gee! I sure would love to trap and do drive-by shootings”.

You seem clearly out of touch with reality because this is some real boomer shit my parents would say.

existed before

to some extent ,yes. then it was glorified and bundled into neat little packages for comsumption by the masses. when it was fringe behavior it wasn't acceptable.

People who don't...

maybe not. listening to music has effects. not always noticable. lets say one grows up in a place with little opputunity. ones not well off financially not paying for college. ones not good at sports no scholarship. ones led to believe the only way out is through college. one see the guys on the corner, they obviously sell drugs. they have money. combined with the radio/music television programming, single parent household, the system is racist. where is one going to end up? they going to take the easy road or the hard road?
no, no, i'm the one out of touch with reality.

tldr; if it was never cool for white girls to sing f*ck the police, necks wouldn't be knelt on and we wouldn't be in the midst of the same wave of "peaceful" protests. (editted formatting)
