Is Hip Hop Destroying Black America? To answer this question fairly, we must first discard the distorted image of Hip Hop that mainstream media has passed off for the past 20 years.

In April 1992, Texan Ronald Howard was driving through the state in a stolen car. He was pulled over by state trooper Bill Davidson for a possible traffic violation and became uneasy about the stolen car. During the encounter, Howard removed a nine millimetre Glock pistol from his glove compartment and shot officer Davidson, killing him at the scene. At the time of the incident, Howard had a pirated copy of the tape 2Pacalypse Now playing in his automobile's cassette deck. This album, performed by Tupac Shakur, and produced by Atlantic Recordings and Inters cope Records, both subsidiaries of Time Warner, Inc., also contained similar gangster rap lyrics and messages (this recording occurred before Tupac signed with Death Row Records).

Mostly by coincidence the summer radio airwaves were gripped by a new voice in hip hop, that of teenage rap sensation Chief Keef. The sixteen-year-old’s breakthrough hit “I Don’t Like” features numerous gunshot noises and the percussive annunciation of “bang bang” by Keef and his associates, as he proceeds to list the things he, well, doesn’t like. The question remains whether Chief Keef is merely reflecting the violent environment he grew up in, or whether he is glorifying a violent lifestyle. David Drake and David Turner, writing in Complex Magazine, argue that Keef is a product of his environment, but that his fame carries with it new responsibility:
