For the moment, I'll just refer you to my post #73 above, which I was writing as you posted your #74.

If there is a disagreement between you and me, it is not about the existence of some Rap songs about "bustin caps" in some cop's ass.

Our disagreement appears to be over how there came to be a market for such songs, and why they might reinforce bad behavior in some audiences and not others. 

But Rap and Hip-Hop are "black culture" to the same degree that Arab rap is now part of Middle Eastern culture.
