A couple years ago, I heard of a meeting that took place 80s or early 90s about gangsta rap as a new style of music that was going to be invented. That those who did it would be promoted and supported. Most musicians at the meeting went along with it, but at least 1 did not. Can’t remember the specifics as I don’t listen to rap at all. Maybe the organizers were influential producers or heads of labels or bankers.

Ice Cube talked about this in an interview somewhat recently seemingly corroborating this.
