This is not Vlad. Nice jump out the windowGlorification of murder and violence is an America thing.
Motherfukkers in Vietnam use to swap pics of them murking and shooting up Vietnamese/Vietcong and vice versa.
Mobsters and Mafiosos were treated like celebrities and influencers with front page excerpts on their activities being secondary
Such a basic, surface level understanding of this issue and where does this Complex.com Corben Bleu looking fruit cup go to whine why nobody fukking with his wack ass projects?
Vlad.
Al Pacino any time he's not on set pretending to be Tony Montana - Harmless articulate nice guy who wouldn't hurt a fly.Violent video games. Violent movies. Religion. History itself.
There's even a genre of movies where lunatics kill innocent people in various, ever more brutal ways. Horror.
No one ever takes Steven King to task for writing all this horrible shyt. Or Al Pacino for portraying all this horrible shyt.
Hip Hop has become war music. In context with the rest of the things I listed before, it fits right in. And it's okay from a purely objective standpoint.
The problem with it is our youth take it too seriously and end up emulating the music. And in more and more cases these days, making music about actual murders.
That is certainly a huge problem, but it's not a reason to demonize the artform. Unless we're ready to banish Tarantino and Mortal Kombat and Nerf guns.

Average rapper - Plays hard at all times, downplays his intelligence to seem cool, or like some super thug, despite it being a partial or even complete lie
Someone like Rick Ross - Hasn't broken character in over 15 years and would still have you believe he was a notorious drug lord, despite endless evidence to the contrary.
They are not the same.
