I do not get the problem of his argument. There is no redeeming quality about that type of music. Isn't that ppl always complain about how white executives are the main ones perpetuating and allowing this type of music to hit the airwaves.
Now lets see if those same ppl who make these arguments are standing behind Eric Adams when he is going against the distribution channels of this type of music.
I am expecting this is the symptom not the root cause argument (i.e poverty lack of jobs etc...) however you can walk and chew gum at the same time condemning the music does not mean you are foregoing addressing and solving systemic issues.
Here is an Economist article which specifically cites his plan to curb gun violence while addressing the lack of opportunities issue:
Eric Adams unveils his blueprint to help New York tackle violence
The way cats defend this shyt it is like they have a vested interest to keep the fukkery going on. Like there is NO redeeming quality about ppl talking about murdering other young ppl who look like them or making of fun of dead young ppl who look like them. Literally what's the appeal?
