Maybe the constant glorification of violence in modern african-american rap isn't helping?

Rock&roller here, don't listen to rap or hiphop. My two cents is they are reacting to their situation rather than inciting it. For example, I write or sing about women being mistreated VS writing or singing about urging others to mistreat women. In this case, maybe the current state of rap is BOTH?!

They are reacting to their environment like insects to stimuli. They aren't capable of understanding it they simply react. They never had their revolutions and don't have the wisdom to utilize these tools or mentally handle their implications. Which is why they shouldn't have them and don't belong. Multiculturalism is the problem. Not all cultures are equal

The way you use the word "they" makes me think of the scene from Tropic Thunder
