Ever notice rappers promote vices not virtues?

Hip Hop has been taken over by infiltrators from the late 70’s and when it tried it to reclaim blackness in the late 80’s massa swooped in and handed out real life negs.

90% of any music with words has trash messages

if you want virtue, popular culture is literally the last place to look for itSo making a track called "Shoot a nikka" is not corny but "Go to school" is?
You don't even have to call the track "Go to school" and make it obvious. I think if it's obvious it's corny, but if you find a creative way to do it, it's much more acceptable and entertaining than "shoot nikkas dead".
Lil dikky, some goofy white rapper has a track called "Save dat money" and it has 10's of millions of views on YouTube so if he can do it, anyone can
So you pick the white boy to prop up when many other brothers are doing what you’ve asked and more? Yeah...

This "white people do it too" argument here doesn't really work consideringyou think cac hair metal rockstars in the 1980s promoted good values and healthy virtues lol?
even nirvana promoted nihilism, anarchy, depression, heavy drug use and suicide.
cac rock music glorified and still glorify demon worship and indulgence in sinful activities...but rappers are the only ones promoting reckless and vicious behaviour?
1) It deflects from the issue at hand, which is about how black rappers promote degenerate behaviors to black listeners
2) Hip hop is intertwined with black culture in a unique way that makes the comparison with white "I'm on the highway to hell" type music a bit of a reach.
Obviously it's not as simple as "If we got rid of gangster rap, all of black peoples' problems with be solved!", but we really need to have more dialogue on "Kill a nikka" music and what it means beyond just entertainment.

I also find it funny how some rappers are held to 0 standards.
Nobody cares about NBA Youngboy abusing his girl on multiple occasions while other dudes are getting fried over maybe touching someone years ago.
