When Johnny Cash sings “I shot a man in Reno just to see him die,” it’s celebrated as classic songwriting. But when hip-hop reflects harsh reality, it’s labeled as glorifying violence.

Is there a double standard between country music and rap, or was Johnny Cash just country’s version of “gangster rap”?
