Problems are a little more complex then just a single source of noise.
Sure, gangster rap isn't nice but there's a reason why kids find it appealing. Figure that out and then you might be on to something.

I listened to pretty much the same as you and the same as with drugs.
Who knows the attraction with (c)rap, i expect its a way of rebelion as kids always want their own way.
Most vulnerable people fear gangs here in the UK so i can imgaine that that's part of the appeal as the kids imagine it gains them respect.
My ex wife tells me Australia is becoming the same with gangs so there has to be some kind of connection as it's the same music the kids are idolising.
