Have you ever even listened to hip hop
Please go back and listen to all 1980’s hip hop from 1980 through 1989. Everyone was comically misogynist and homophobic in a way that would be considered shocking today. Even the thuggiest hip hop out there now is aware of those boundaries now. They either avoid such topics or explicitly lunge for them. But in the 80’s people were just blithely shooting their mouths off. There was no twitter, there was no online community yet. There were no repercussions for rapping about rape, ‘faggots’ or ‘bitches’.
You were either popular or not.
