Too much violence in cultural dancehall?

Greetings in love and respect.

I am blessed with the oppurtunity to select word sound and power for lots of ears and some artists have got InI thinking latley. I would never cast personal judgement on any Idren of creation, artist, or shotta.

InI know that times are rough in Jahmekya, when I first got there two Idrens got shot for stealing a car stereo- this was in a small town- the ten days I was there 43 people died, almost all in Kingston. InI must work and pray for the ghetto youth, who are caught up in a trap.

The lyrics of some gifted artists like Capelton and Sizzla Kolanji have seemed to take aggression out on babylon in violent ways- as an amerikkkan, the battyboy chanting has seemed excessive and repetitive to I, but after visiting the I-land i can see haw it is happening although I still know that hate and love so not spring from the same source. But lateley the gun talk has been making InI wonder if I sould even play this music. So it got I meditaing hard to the point where I had some bugged out dreams-
I see one side that says I as an americn can't understand the situation and must not judge because thare is a time for peace and war.
And the other side that questions if these idren are messing up RASTAFARI livity- because these messages spread to other cultures.

Guidance?
give thanks
