My biggest beef with hip hop is the promotion of it as "black culture." How can something you have n

nothing wrong with gangster rap

That's art. Artists have the right to be artistic. The director of The Godfather is considered a mastermind. I'm not attacking art this thread is about the business.

Why doesn't Lyor Cohen or Jimmy Ivione or Bryan Turner walk around with body guards?

hip hop was and is blakk and hispanic culture.

gangster rap was PROMOTED as blakk culture. gangster rap wasnt the culture. it was the disease of the culture

Nobody owns music genres.

Black people started majority of today's popular music, but no one owns it. It's like saying McDonalds owns making burgers because they're an international company selling them and built a brand around a simply concept like selling burgers and fries.
