Africian-American hip hop scholar BYron Hurt argues that, " It is not surprising that a rapper like 50 Cent is commercially viable in a nation that supports a culture of violence." Hurt also says that the type of hyper-masculine violence we see, or that is implied in many hip hop videos is the same kind of violence we see in sports culture, Hollywood films, recruitment for the military and computer games. In other words, Hurt says the media has "normalized killing, shootoing and dying". To what extent do you agree?
