Gangster rap strengthens it, just like social media posts strengthen movements and actions that might or might not have happened regardless. > There are people that grow up in unfortunate circumstances that live through those lyrics regardless of these music-led influencers you speak of. Yes, do you think they enjoy hearing rap music from the gang that murdered or raped one of their family members being blasted, where the rappers brag about murdering and raping people? Then a bunch of people who are comfortably isolated from that kind of violence praise these rappers to the skies, give them industry awards, and so on. > Also, why stop here? Let's ban all books that encroach on this topic! Some countries ban music which glorifies violence, but I haven't called out for the ban of anything. I'm making comparisons. How come people and governments and courts are blasting Instagram for giving young girls eating disorders because models are uploading bikini photos, but at the same time everybody turns a blind eye to music where the artist raps and brags about drugging, raping, beating and murdering women? Or men. When these artists are often guilty of these crimes or strongly affiliated with gangs doing these things.
