You get invited to those things because you have contributed money and/or people think you have the capacity to contribute more of it.
If there was a conspiracy to have gangster rap corrupt the youth into criminal mindsets, it failed. Crime in the U.S. and in Black American communities was at a high point in the 70's and 80's, long before Eazy-E was shaking anyone's hand.
Why do people think that you need a conspiracy to get people to enjoy violent and sexually charged entertainment? Why do they think you need a conspiracy in order for poor people to resort to crime and secondary economies? Are there CIA-rap conspiracies in Sicily? South Africa? Venezuela? Mexico? DC was one of the most violent places in America in the early 90s and y'uns were listening to Go-Go not rap.
This shit is silly and insulting to black people's intelligence.
