First, we reviewed a video by Michael Blacksun who had the ingenious idea to pose a racist white man rapping certain lyrics related to harming Black people. Then we discussed hip-hop artist Pete Rock's now-deleted statement on social media about how he feels about Drill Rap music. Lastly, we looked at a statement by Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) comments in the wake of the Uvalde elementary school massacre by a troubled and deranged 18-year-old and his comments about the influence of violent rap music and video games on young minds.
