the part I think you're missing is that most of the negative associations you have with hip hop e.g. violence, drugs, assaults on women are derived from the very real conditions that continue to exist in urban communities which many people are forced into. It began with people just talking about the reality around them for better or worse and eventually turned into a bunch of middle class suburban white kids who spend most of their time online trying to figure out to turn other peoples struggles into trash wordplays
