Obligatory, "I write good."
and conditions a rapper has experience justify their use of violent lyrics
Speak about the group as a single thing instead of many people. "The group's lyrics received many forms of criticism for its avocation of the use of violence."In the 1990s, N.W.A was most notable for starting the genre of gangster rap. Their lyrics received many forms of criticism for their avocation for the use of violence.
I would say something more like "the circumstances of a rapper's life justify..."One defense has been the keeping it real argument in which the experiences and conditions a rapper has experience justify their use of violent lyrics (Rose, 2008).
Again, try not to use collective pronouns except when explicitly necessary. I would write "A rapper is merely telling his autobiographical story..."They are merely telling their autobiographical story.
I would continue to denote "keeping it real" in quotations, since the words are not used literally.While this may be true, the keeping it real argument is unfairly used to defend what commercialized hip hop is today.
"...devastating effects..." -- That entire italicized part could be re-written more clearly, IMO.It gives the excuse that because it might have happened in real life, record companies can continue to promote this genre ignoring the devastation effects it can have on black communities. Defenders of hip hop who use this phrase as a way to explain the violence found in black street life end up reinforcing black stereotypes that are destructive to the black community.
I'm sorry man, but I couldn't get past your first sentence. I don't have it in my heart to read 20 minutes worth of analysis on N.W.A. 🙁
