"If a kid goes around and shoots and whole lotta people in his high school, and is wearing a Marilyn Manson shirt, it doesn't mean Marilyn Manson made him do it, it just means he likes Marilyn Manson."
In my studies I have found that there is not much correlation at all between violent music and violent behaviour. So I can't really say that I dislike gangster rap because it encourages violence. I mean, how many of us play relatively violent video games? I highly doubt we've been inspired to go shoot or bash people up. (Or have we...)
That being said however, I don't like the genre for many other reasons, including several attitudes it endorses... like attitudes towards women for example. Not to mention that I also don't find the genre very talented or captivating. But that's just personal opinion.
