Just because something doesnt occur all the time, doesnt mean its an issue especially when its murder.... 18 dead rappers that were popular in the charts killed in the last 2 years cant be chalked up as drug overdoses in other genres.. and of course there are young people that emulate these guys that are killed or the ones doing the killing as well.
Basically the point was that this music isnt as much on our tongues about being banned but we worry about one book on roberto clemente in a misleading headline or willy wanka, dr seuss etc..
there are crazy fans that kill people in all genres...for you to make a similar point you would have to show a movie star killing another movie star because of what the movie star said about him or his family in a movie, does that occur once a year? how about 18 times in 2 years? this music can be purchased easily on spotify..but again we are going to worry about a political spin on a clemente book.

Is it possible that some rap artists are expressing their American experience? Some people do not get to grow up in middle and upper class households and those that do should probably not judge how those that don’t express themselves. It’s not shocking that there is more crime in poorer areas than more affluent ones.
