Arrested Development became a successful rap group without making songs about killing blacks, they became successful without making songs calling women bitches. They became successful without glorifying the sell of drugs. They won every kind of award that you can think of in music, without harming the black community.

Here is a great interview by Speech of Arrested Development speaking about gangster Rap and the movie Straight out of Compton. He talks about how this is the negative image that the media want to promote of black people.

He said that if most of your songs are negative and destructive, you can't off set it with 1 or 2 positive songs.

Kind of like, if most of the topics on this website are negative, the few positive don't make up for it.

Arrested Development sold millions of records without talking about killing black people, they won Grammy Awards and everything else. So you can't tell me that music have to be negative to sell.
