The self-destructive subculture glorified by the immensely popular “Gangsta Rap” was spawned from multigenerational poverty and frequent imprisonment. Thanks to the music genre's near ethnic exclusivity, as well as its heavy exposure from institutions such as the Black Entertainment Television station, an embracement of gangsta culture is being marketed as the official African American cultural identity. This is quite sickening. I'm completely against any forced censorship, but I encourage public criticism on this subject.
