Yes it played a part...people are influence by things...
Are you 16 and in the hood? Are you up against it like a lot of youngsters are? Just because you don’t go out and buy a Chevy after seeing an add for it doesn’t mean someone else didn’t. Same thing with drill music. There are other factors. And you’re a grown ass man with real world experience. Not some 16 year old in north Memphis. Drill and Trap make it seem real like a kid can aspire to be that. Marvel movies are different. But don’t act like we don’t strive for rappers to have street cred. If you can’t be anything else they think they can be gang gang. But you will bury your head in the sand.

This is the real answer right here. These same conditions are what helped create hip hop in the first placeNo one wants to admit that the black family been in disarray since we were brought to plantations. Brehs we’re emasculated by white men in front of their women and couldn’t save them. And brehettes were worked like men, raped, abused, separated from the kids they had and all while being forced to raise their white master’s kids and birth his kids too.
Sadly, even once slavery was over, we were still subject to oppression, inequality, poverty and racism—Brehs were still emasculated, and our kids didn’t get equal education, we were denied many things and it made it hard for us to have functional relationships. To be real, the black family has always been in disarray and bw/bm relationships have always had issues.
some things have compounded it sure, but there was never a solid functional foundation to begin with.

Hip-hop isn't making things better, but is not a causal factor at all.
Hip hop has no bearing on anything
It’s entertainment.It's a reflection of the culture.
It’s not dictating peoples lives is my pointBased on, and reflective of, real life.
Too Short was dropping game way back in the 80's about how scandalous these chicks can be...
A lot of these chicks wouldn't last back then because men weren't afraid to check women.
Nowadays, men have become pussifed and weak aka simpin just to get some puss.
Don't blame that on Hip Hop though.
