[a fool in paradise]

Will Smith is also addressing the way America’s overall obsession with gun culture is leading to many early deaths in the Black community.

The problem is not 'America's overall obsession with gun culture".

The problem is violent crime in the black community. Violence that is glamorized by million dollar moguls in the rap music industry. Rap 'stars' boasting (sometimes fraudulently) about the number of times they 'got shot' and 'have been locked up'.

To Will Smith's credit, his raps/music have always been relatively clean ("Parents just don't understand"). There are also others in the genre who have stayed that way, but mostly those that started in the 80s.
