If anything, your numbers show a decline in the murder rate after the introduction of Gansta rap on the national scene:
Great...Gansta Rap glorifying putting a cap in a brother is good for Black America. The music is not the underlying problem but is more a reflection of the sub culture.

The concept might be too much for you to comprehend so I won't bother getting into the details. Keep up the good work Eric.
