One of his lyrics

I'll be damned if I slave for some white crackers”

Also this same rapper wrote a song called “F Donald Trump “ nice huh ?

No worse than Donald Trump calling immigrants animals.

Look at the difference between anything with radio play and anything that wont see the radio waves.

HipHop/rock etc is not immune to commercialization.
This is especially true in todays country music!!

Older ('70s and earlier) music will be remembered (and liked) much more than music from years newer than that.
