Well, the first amendment right of Babylon government supposed to give us freedom of speech. So, gangsta rap or any other form of music is free to say what they want. The problem is drugs will still be dealt in low-income neighborhoods if it is talked about in gangsta rap or not. We all know who brought these drugs into the low income neighborhoods, so I won't talk about that...A lot of people in these neighborhoods feel they have no other way to make decent money than by selling drugs, pimping women, or running scams. Gangsta rap has and always will be a reflection of the slums. Idk how its propaganda if the things that these rappers are talking about ARE actually going on in low-income neighborhoods.
How do I know? Because I grew up in the same environment and it was all I seen around me as a youth. Now, those rappers making money off of this and not giving back is a whole other story.. The focus should be on better employment opportunities for minorities in low-income neighborhoods and as a whole. There is also a huge difference between HIP HOP and Gangsta rap which came in with the crack epidemic in the 80s. If you want to hear positive messages then you need to look into real hip hop because it is out there
