It's what some call an overly narrow view about the breadth and depth of Hip Hop music and culture that is often repeated by naysayers *outside* of the culture, folks who abide by identity politics, or jaded Hip Hop heads who only have a limited understanding about how much Hip Hop has evolved -- for good AND for bad.
On the livestream version of the award-winning podcast/livestream show, Hip Hop Can Save America!, Manny Faces makes the case that despite some valid concerns, highlighting the negatives about Hip Hop while intentionally ignoring the positives can be harmful to the very culture Warner seems to be concerned about.
It's almost as if there might be an incentive to keep that very trope alive...
