Trap Lore Ross addressed criticisms about his documentary work on hip-hop and drill music. Notably, Ross's investigations have focused on figures like King Von, who allegedly made $18 million by rapping about real-life violence and murders. Ross expressed that pinning the blame for such violence on journalists is misguided, comparing it to blaming a weatherman for rain. Ross argued that his work brings a responsible narrative that contrasts with how some rappers glamorize crime. He noted the broader societal implications, emphasizing that ignoring victims does a disservice to their families. Ross critiqued those who focus on shutting down journalism rather than addressing the issues within the music itself. He called for a fair conversation around hip-hop culture that includes understanding the real-life consequences behind the lyrics.
