Hip hop culture, more commonly known as sub-genre rap, is often characterized by excessive violence compared to other popular culture genres like country-western. However, hip hop is the symptom of cultural violence, not the cause. It results from a prevalent problem of youth living in the racially stratified inner-city ghettos, thereby having sharpened socioeconomic worldviews through deep racial and economic disparities.
