Hi Jacky,
I would like to know your opinion on gangster rap music. A lot of people say that gangster rap marks a turn for the worst in hip hop culture and is partly responsible for the death rates of young black males.
I heard somewhere that based on statistics, homicide due to gun violence is the number one cause of death for black men around the ages of 15-26 but I’m not 100% sure about the exact age range.
What are your thoughts on this? Is gangster rap music bad for society? If this is true I find it really disgusting for the senseless killings especially since rap and hip hop first started to empower and uplift the black community, not to help it self destruct. Is there any way to reverse this effect and bring a more positive influence through hip hop and not allow other cultures to prematurely judge or look down on the rap culture saying that it promotes violence.
Even though hip hop originated from people being angry at the system and wanting change, could it be expressed more positively instead of negatively influencing the younger generation to become a more violent culture, but a more motivated one that could ” fight the power” and also be intelligent enough to know the steps to take in achieving that goal.
