Why do conservative pundits dislike rap so much?

[tik 🪀✨]

Why don't people who believe in "traditional values" like something that they see as actively opposed to said "traditional values" and is popular? What a conundrum!

Then again, they view it as something that encourages the subjugation of women, glorification of guns and violence, is utterly intolerant of homosexuality, encourages the continuation of blacks killing each other, and putting ignorance on a pedestal. Perhaps we should be asking why they haven't wholeheartedly embraced it.. but wait, if these old white farts praised it, it would make the counterculture run away screaming. Accidental reverse psychology at work!

Hackishness aside, rap encouraging violence is a real chicken/egg scenario. It started as a reflection of the streets, but now is feeding back into itself to some extent. All art is a product of experience at first. If that experience is utterly foreign an unrelatable to you, and you lack a healthy artistic objectivity, it is confusing and therefore a little scary.
