Rap music, like all art forms, is an outlet, it’s a way for the writer/performer to articulate elements of their life, to vocalize their struggles, their attempts to exert power where they can, their successes, and their failures. Both Hannity and Rivera-and for that matter, anyone who dismisses the genre as “thug music”-try to strip rap music of its power as a kind of storytelling, as a way to give voice to a lived reality for many people. Just as Marilyn Manson-esque music that scares parents doesn’t represent the entirety of rock music. Yes, some of the language of rap music can be problematic, but it’s certainly not endemic to the entire genre. It’s akin to responding to calls for police reform and accountability with saying that the “real” problem is black-on-black crime. One of the most troubling things-among many-about both of these incidents is both Hannity and Rivera chose to cling to their ignorance of a culture, reducing it to a caricature of itself and using it as a scapegoat for the systemic bias that pervades American society. And I think for the most part, it’s avoiding the truth. In an interview with TMZ, Lamar responded: “How can you take a song that’s about hope and turn it into hatred?” He went on to state, rather astutely, “I think his attempt is really diluting the real problem, which is the senseless acts of killings of these young boys out here.

Not too long after that, Kendrick Lamar did a breathtaking performance of “Alight” during the BET Awards. But if they’re gonna ban that, they’re racking up millions of dollars, I’m sure a lot more money, in sales of music that gratuitously uses the ‘N-word.’” If you want to ban the Confederate flag, ban it. Hannity equated the flag, a symbol of oppression, with the occasionally problematic lyrics of rap music: “ lot of the music by those artists is chock-full of the ‘N-word,’ by the way, and the ‘B-word,’ and the ‘H-word,’ and racist, misogynist, sexist, anti-woman slurs none of those retail executives would be caught dead using. Sean Hannity, a perfectly sane and reasonable human being with no penchant for hyperbole, called for retailers to ban the sales of rap music, equating it to the retailers pulling the Confederate flag from their stores.
