Leroy,
I think you worded your challenge the right way to make your point. It would be hard to make the case that a particular artist truly is "encouraging rape". But in modern society all it takes is one person to take it that way and then we got a problem. This one's kind of rough so you know what to do if you want to see it.
MIND OF A LUNATIC by The Geto Boys
Lookin through her window, now my body is warm
She's naked, and I'm a peepin tom
Her body's beautiful, so I'm thinkin rape
Shouldn't have had her curtains open, so that's her fate
Leavin out her house, grabbed the b**** by her mouth
Drug her back in, slammed her down on the couch
Whipped out my knife, said, "If you scream, I'm cuttin"
Opened her legs and commenced the f*****
She begged me not to kill her, I gave her a rose
Then slit her throat, and watched her shake till her eyes closed
Had sex with the corpse before I left her
And drew my name on the wall like helter skelter
Run for shelter never crossed my mind
I had a guage, a grenade, and even a nine
Dial 911 for the b****
But the cops ain't s*** when they're f***** with a lunatic
Well, the song is called MIND OF A LUNATIC. And you don't want the rest of the lyrics. Also, this is not an undergound group, the Geto Boys sold very well in their time.

[Will Smith has] had that baggage from the start. I was in college when "Parents Just Don't Understand" came out, and from the get-go people where saying he didn't have genuine street-cred.
I guess it's a question of who's talking the loudest and what voices a person chooses to accept as credible. Smith has always been a valid, respected voice in Hip Hop to those with any sense of its history.
Ah, but Eminem WANTS to be black!
I think I know you meant this in jest, but there are too many people out there who actually believe it to be true.

Okay, Pete. Leroy wasn't talking about you, either.

Yeah, sorry. In the time it took to write that post the thread took off and explained itself and I caught it too late.

Definitely kidding, Wallace. I'm biracial and accused of "acting white" all the time, so that's never something I'd throw at another person. Except Vanilla Ice.
Edited to add:
And Justin Timberlake.

Not a typo -- word of my own invention, used as a sound effect of a one-
eyed protoplasmic creature oozing across a floor. I've also used it to
describe an indescribable horror slothering across a floor towards a
hapless protagonist in a Lovecraft parody I wrote.
There are a number of friends of mine who think it's hilarious to walk up
behind someone and grumble, "slother, slother" in their ear. It's a voiced
"th" sound, like in "there" or "feather."
You're more than welcome to use it.
Slother, slother.

Ian Evans: as I posted, I was conscious of the problems of tone we sometimes have, so made sure that I was as outrageously OTT as I could be
Hey, there's nothing wrong with that! I do it all the time...

"Guilty Conscience" is more ABOUT rape and murder than IN FAVOR OF rape and murder.
Yes, I'm an Eminem fan - because I truly think he hates himself, and I can relate to that.

So, no comment about Rich Johnson's pro-Byrne article? (link page 14)
****************
Well, it certainly doesn't take long for anything John Byrne does to make the gossip columns, huh?
He does make a comment about John knowing that he'll get a reaction when he says stuff, but that John doesn't think he should, as it's just his opinion. I would never presume to know how Mr. Byrne thinks, even if I knew him better, so I couldn't say how true that is or not.
I do know how I think, though, and there is something sadistically pleasurable about stirring a pot of nerd stew! If I were in John's position, I honestly believe the temptation to ruffle feathers of overly sensitive nerds on the internet would be a favorite hobby of mine. I'd be thinking shit up all the time to torture them with, and then I'd play innocent when the lynch mobs came after me...lol
