I look to a day when songs will not be judged by their genre, but by the content of their lyrics.

It's nothing to do with it being rap "music".

No less cringey than pretending to think the only thing to dislike about the "song" is that it's rap

Meanwhile, one of Radio 1’s best known former DJs, Tim Westwood, has posed in photographs with drill artists and gang members (one of whom, Sidique Kamara, 23, was later stabbed to death).

Westwood himself is the son of a bishop and went to private school, but has been known to speak in a pseudo-Jamaican ‘street’ patois. He is said to have partly inspired Sacha Baron’s Cohen spoof character Ali G

By the way, Body is hook of the year. It’s no surprise it blew up with the kids on Tik Tok and went #1.

There's always been controversial music what do gangster rappers sing about? Being gangsters and pimps, guns and hos ... this is no different.
