I remember reading a leakers story 20+ years ago about being in a meeting with record execs, and some extremely powerful people who openly said creating gangster rap is going to fuel racial tension, fill for profit prisons, and make A LOT of money for those involved. He was clear what would happen to you if you so much as disagreed with any of it. I never saw it again, but I've thought about it a lot. This coming out now is great to see that it wasn't horseshit, because back then most would have laughed in your face.
