I completely agree, Trisham.
I actually hate gangsta rap. I think it is morally corrosive, and I would keep it off of any venue I controlled, and would keep it away from any degree of public support (e.g. publicly subsidized radio or platforms or schools) either direct or indirect. BUT...
Speech is still speech. It needs Constitutional protection particularly if it does not enjoy the support of the Opinionistas. Unless he were conspiring to facilitate crime, he is free to say what he pleases.
Eric Holder, on the other hand...

"Opinionistas"
An apt term, I'll have to remember it. I'll even hazard a definition:
Opinionistas: A shadowy group of people, mostly academics, journalists, and political activists, who proclaim norms and codes of "politically correct" speech, and attempt to impose social sanctions (shaming, economic boycotts, loss of employment, civil fines, etc.) against violators of such norms.
