Rap Culture/Music promotes female degradation, illegal drug use, illiteracy and
the glorification of criminal activity.

Johnny Cash talked about gunning down the ops with an extended clip? He walked around with a glock hanging out of his waist band throwing up redneck gang signs? He talked about banging hoes and making a bag in the trap house?
Sorry, apples and oranges...

Pretty close. Folsom Prison Blues, Cocaine Blues, Delia's Gone, Don't Take Your Guns to Town, Ballad of Annie Palmer, etc.
Does it count if he’s talking about killing people with a regular gun? And being high on coc aine while he’s doing it?
Subtlety singing about controversial topics is not the same thing as the blunt force trauma lyrics of many hip hop artists these days.
You'd better run for your life if you can, little girl Hide your head in the sand, little girl Catch you with another man That's the end, little girl Well, you know that I'm a wicked guy And I was born with a jealous mind And I can't spend my whole life tryin' Just to make you toe the line
I can no longer defend much of the cooning and buffooning that is passing for hip hop these days

Look, I am huge hip hop fan... from the beginning as I was born in early 70s. However, I can no longer defend much of the cooning and buffooning that is passing for hip hop these days. I see the damage it is doing to the community and young minds.
