Well I read the article and I don't really see how talking about crime and immorality = preaching for a master race. Maybe it's just me but I see one as a bit more extreme than the other.. maybe cause of the fact that gangsta rappers don't have the attitude that they are somehow saving the world with this message.
I think the genre's lyrics are usually just supposed to be more reality based.. as in talking about the more ****ed up things that goes on in the streets.. seeing that hip hop started out as party music talking about "throw your hands in the air like you just don't care.." it's sorta the new generation's way of distinguishing itself from the previous generation. But by now instead of being reality based most of these gangster-like pop rappers like 50 go and exaggerate reality until it no longer resembles the reality they are supposedly preaching. That's why I don't consider that stuff real gangsta rap.
Either way I agree some gangsta rappers are wrong in the things they say.. but Nazi music is just on another level. Although I think their music is their music and that people shouldn't mess with it, same as gangsta rap. I don't like bands like Skrewdriver but they have a right to write about whatever they want.. can't blame the band if idiots take their words to heart and do something based on one of their songs.
