From my point of view, from what I watched on television on a channel called Black Entertainment Television (BET), I It seems that hip-hop videos like rap most of the time promote alcohol and drugs. A survey conducted at a California Community College found that young people who listen to hip-hop use alcohol, drugs and engage in violent behavior.

Again, looking at the effects of country music on society when it comes to alcohol and drugs, country music promotes substance abuse, but only alcohol.

We now know that my thoughts on hip-hop and country music were true in some ways when it came to promoting negativity in our society.
