Meanwhile uber-violent and hyper-sexualized mass-market movies, outright pornography, and death metal are largely produced by white people/entities. Should we discuss the influence they have on how ”average american whites” behave? For that matter, much of "gangsta rap" has been produced by white-owned entities.
In short, you provided the "four cornerstones of gangsta rap music". For each, we could just as easily plug in widely consumed, top-grossing films or other products of "white culture".
Meanwhile, back in the real-world, mass shootings seem to be the near-exclusive purview of white men. Shall we also opine on the destructiveness of white culture based on that?
The point is that racist generalizations don't help anyone.

Which year have mass shootings by whites amounted to at least 1% of total gun deaths?
As for Death Metal bands, how many of the performers in this genre have been arrested for gun-related crimes?
How many were killed by guns and went on to achieve cult status?
> are largely produced by white people/entities.
Jewish, not white. Jewish culture is distinct from generic white culture. You can get away with a lot with Jewish privilege, like Bill Maher's casual N-word use on television. A random white John Doe's career would have been done right there.
edit - Also by making that distinction btw 'jewish' and 'white' culture you're very plainly showing where you're coming from.
edit - I just took a look through your profile and now I'm not surprised at all. A very common theme emerges lol. You can disregard everything I said above since it won't make sense to you either way
I'm not white, I'm a minority in the country of my birth.
Do you have any arguments or are these ad hominems[0] all you got?
Can you even read? Go away race troll. Anyone can look through your comment history and see what you are. Not even American pffft.
* Also please monitor this user's posts. He has a history of posting fact-free racially inflammatory comments that would be more at home on a forum like 4chan. It would be nice if someone kept an eye on this account. A few examples:

1)Prostitutes (And pimps and promiscuous sex and STDs that go along with that)
2)Guns (And you can bet those aren't being used for self-defense against wild animals when you travel to your remote cabin in the woods for a weekend)
3)Drugs (These are self-evidently bad, so no need to elaborate)
4)Money (Often obtained as a result of illegal use/exploitation of some or all of the above)
And even absent all that you can often hear lyrics about the performer singing about how he (or the song's protagonist) "couldn't make it in a white man's world": Afroman - Palmdale.
That type of depressive, often criminal culture seems to fit the description of "self-destruction".
> no one conflates the behavior of say redneck Americans or free love hippies with the self-destructive culture of white America.
Neither rednecks nor hippies have any significant influence on how an average white american behaves. Most people would struggle to name any names.
Yet it's trivial for people to name a few prominent gangsta rappers. Heck, those who achieved cult status were shot in mid 90s.
