I 100% agree with the idea that rap is certainly not the only genre to glorify violence, drugs, etc. But the specific song choice is not really a great example in my opinion considering the last verse is

At best, that’s reductive and at worst it’s completely wrong. I get that this was probably a joke answer, but I feel like this misconception is unfortunate since it misrepresents ancient Egyptian culture and also undermines the impact of the unique evil of chattel slavery that was practiced in the US.
