Rap/Hip-Hop is...Evil?

Music is something I'm super passionate about and something I love. Yesterday we were having a friendly debate which turned into a borderline argument lol. Just about artists and songs today and how they don't glorify God. But I also mentioned how many christian artists listen to mainstream rappers like Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Lupe Fiasco, Big Krit...the list goes on...these artists may not talk about things that are glorifying God specificly, but they talk about important things...like drugs, the youth, inspiring the youth, news around the world, politics...and even christian rappers have collaborated with such mainstream artists. Sometimes it annoys me when people try to diss or tear down rap/hip hop when they really don't know much about it...all they hear is like Drake and that's their definition of what rap or hip hop is. They aren't really willing to give others a chance. How can you base an entire genre of music based on one artist...christian rappers have talked about people like 2Pac and how honest and open his music is...talking about teen pregnancy, keeping your head up. Christian rappers have stated that they admire that rappers are so honest about confessing in their songs. They may not be talking about exactly glorifying God, but not every single song that christian rappers put out there do either...they talk about worldly topics too...like running away from home and staying in school and things like that...but what makes them different from a mainstream rapper who talks about the same thing? Cuz he's christian his words are more important? Are more wise? Really now...it just really annoys me when people think they know a lot about something when they really don't and aren't really willing to give it a chance, but yet have already came up with a conclusion about it. I get that you shouldn't make music your idol...and it's in no way like that...but I admire and respect their art...their passion and their words...and because I love doing the same thing...it hurts me and offends me when people try to tear it down. But yeah...here's a video about a christian artist Lecrae talking about these topics a bit...it's also really ironic cuz we were just talking about judging people too...you're labelling an entire genre and a slew of artists because of a few songs or certain artists...but like Lecrae says..."My music doens't have the faith, I have the faith."...he then later says a lot of things about listening to their music, respecting them and their honesty, etc....but he also says and to quote him "LET HIP HOP BE HIP HOP"...
