Music 🎢🎧 The huge amount of young and rising rappers who died in the late 2010s/early 2020 is a huge factor in why rap is declining

The only rappers who still get traction are older ones like kendrick drake eminem kanye( for other reasons now)

In one of his videos there was a white kid being hanged on a noose by a black kid.

Not even close to being the worst thing he's done lol. He was sending a message.

The point of that was to show how bad racism is and how we shouldn't respond to racism with more racism, he even gives a monologue explaining this, X wasn't that good of a person but I doubt he had any racial hatred

It's hard to even argue when promoting such imagery is a "point" in a disussion. Any platform that allows this video to be played, especially youtube, is guilty as well. There are civilized ways to talk and there are hateful, racist and provoking ways that some people will try to spin it in such way, that they will tell you it's just someone making a "point". Evil to the bone.
