Is Hip Hop perpetuating the black American stereotype?

Tweet

When you listen to Hip Hop, most of its lyrics seem to glamorize drugs, prison, crime, etc., which as sad as it may seem, but the black American community is often associated with. It's so surprising to me becuase most successful Hip Hop artists have this descent, with an exception of only very few. To me this genre helps little to break the "stereotype" that the black American is so unfairly tagged. I know that Hip Hop is fast becoming an accepted form of art in which artists are free to voice whatever is in their minds, but certainly most of what you can hear from this genre are lyrics that does little to break the stereotype that the black American people is so unfairly tagged with. For me, it's so unfair that these successful artists gain so much from producing lyrics that feeds from the misery and hardship of an average black American on the ground. It's certainly not funny to hear another person was refused a job by one prejudice employer just because of his color. If these artists are genius enough to put these black American stereotype on the mainstream Hip Hop genre, why don't they use the same genius to break it once and for all? Keep safety all!_
