Eh, the commentators are kinda right. Those dudes are rapping about kids that actually got shot and murdered.

She's probably not aware of that but its not some fabricated hip hop beef like Meek and Drake

This. She's right with her intention if she didn't know about that, which it's pretty obvious she didn't. Why would we expect her to?

I definitely see that double standard where white people hear any talk about what happens in the hoid as glorifying it, while they see any white violence as artistic expression.

It gets super obvious when someone talks about how they don't like rap because of these things and turn around and say "I like Eminem tho". Which is why people mock those types so much. Cause it's so damn obvious they just don't give a black man the same benefit of the doubt that they give the white guy. They see one as being malicious and the other as being artistic, when the former is usually not even as indulgent as Eminem.
