OK, so it was the video. I paused the video when I heard the smoke detector. I thought it was mine so I waited a few seconds. I was about to replay the video to see if it came from there but then I read your comment.

hip-hop eviscerated the spiritual component of black music. the experience in and of all angles. mostly by big contribution of shortsighted gatekeepers. maybe it's a inferiority complex where the recent highly visible artists can't relate to studied musical talents. i never understood why you can find so much bomb ass talent on YouTube and yet they're nowhere to be found in the popular landscape. it's like there are or is no more music scouting going on or the know how to identify or to collaborate..... Michael Jackson reached out to Quincy Jones and Rod Temperton and then the world got "Thriller". hiphop gatekeepers seem to have lost connection with all black experiences and they'll burn it down to the ground with the one-track mentality of keeping everything vulgar, drugs, confrontation, gunplay, money and exhibition. it's been all degenerative wordplay that has abandoned black soul.
the vast majority of current charting/streaming artists haven't been listening and maybe that was, in part their parents fault

You know you can choose to not listen to violent hip hop

Like that's always been a choice.

There's tons of great artists that don't have violent and vulgar music.

im with you on that note.
i've said that Chuck D, KRS, Ice T and even Tupac were wrong saying the music had no influence outside if it. and here we are with all this solid proof.
any BS deemed "cool" by school aged kids will be mimicked by those kids. look what Scarface did to the hood.

i'm mainly speaking of the mainstream. there'a either an invisible hand or black music has become its own self propelling doom being swiped up by shit like k-pop. as the world clings to that shit, it'll be the elvis is king syndrome all over again. our music is being taken over because of the listlessness. it was already in the understanding that "they" like our music but they don't want us doing it
 
Today's mainstream music is pretty mild if you looking at billboard....

Like this whole new generation is going pretty light in my opinion.

There's still plenty of toxic shit out there, trust me I know, I still like it ... But when I look at the top billboard hip hop songs...

This shit pretty chill to push the mainstream narrative. I've long stood behind the mindset people seek out what they wanna hear.

If you going by what's being fed to the masses, Bruno Mars ain't pushing niggas to shoot up clubs.... So you can't blame mainstream. You have to place accountability on violent people seeking out violent music.

It's not violent hip hop music shaping an unsuspecting society.

It's people who feel a certain way CHOOSING to listen to a certain type of music.
