Lostprophets still have their music on both sites so I think you’ll be waiting a while.

Hmm, can’t remember too many shootings, murders, criminals in the classical or easy listening genres. Practically a full graveyard by comparison for American r&b, rap etc. I wonder why?

No, he doesn’t.
Musicians of all genres & from all countries have been known to commit horrendous crimes. In fact why just stop at different types of music? We know the same applies to every form of media. Kevin Spacey and Jimmy Saville being two fairly recent and very publicised examples.
Unless of course what you actually mean “Is why do rappers often come from a background where gang violence is more prominent than in the general population?” Because if that’s what you’re asking them we can go in to the socio-political reasons as to why. Although judging from this post:
I’m guessing the answer you want to hear but don’t have the bollocks to say is “because they’re black”

The U.S. releases over 7 million people from jail and more than 600,000 people from prison each year. However, recidivism is common. Within 3 years of their release, 2 out of 3 people are rearrested and more than 50% are incarcerated again.

Norway:
Norway has one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world at about 20 percent. 5 It has more highly secured prisons compared to some of the other Scandinavian countries, yet still maintains normalcy within its prison system.
Sauce: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-48885846
Norway is also widely seen as one of the "softest" nations when it comes to "punishment" in "crime and punishment".
In short, long sentences are appropriate for serious crimes no matter where you are in the world. It is about how these people are rehabilitated and educated which determines crime rates amongst themselves and their peers, not the length of sentence alone.
Punitive action only goes so far, and whilst it's necessary and appropriate for people to be punished for crimes with lengthy custodial sentences - especially those as serious as in this case - using the American justice system as the ideal doesn't hold up.

You seem to have missed the obvious ie rappers who glorify gang culture, violence, drugs etc. Nothing to do with skin colour. They have huge white audiences.

I didn’t miss it, I ignored it because it’s entirely irrelevant.
Unless of course we’re going to start demonising directors who dare to feature ‘gang culture, violence, drugs etc’. But they haven’t committed any crimes by talking about them either so…

No it's not irrelevant. 'Featuring' something is not same as promoting it.
Let us hope this horrible mans fate does send a message to the Rap Community about their attitude to women (or Ho's as I believe is the generic term)
