They're called "Hip Hop and R&B stations" in my area.

Ok, let's skip the rap music tells people to kill (Is it the new video game now?).

What do you think of this?

Saw that a billion times. That was cold blooded murder. No excuse  for what that cop did. You do not shoot a fleeing suspect unless they are about to cause immediate harm to a third party. Another example of a piece of shit officer that never should have had a badge.

*Edit* and no. It's not the new video game. It's the old video game. It's so deeply embedded in our culture that it doesn't even raise an eyebrow, now. Pair our music with our image (world star!!) and the media's perception of us and there you have it. We need to do something different.

I was a young man when NWA and gangsta rap first became a thing. I loved it then, even when politicians and groups were condemning them and running over CDs with a steam roller. I stood behind their rights to express themselves. Now, I see that expression had a cost.
