I'm trying to understand if criminal activity is more tolerant in American culture, as noted by having multiple genres of music that glorify criminal behavior.
Of course with globalization there's Japanese rap, But I'm talking about the beginning roots of different musical genres. Has violence been directly integrated into development of other forms of music around the world.
If not, why/when did violence really become a part of music?

quote:
"Jesse James" is a 19th-century American folk song about the outlaw of the same name, first recorded by Bentley Ball in 1919
quote:"The Ballad Of Jesse James"
The lyrics are largely biographical containing a number of details from Jesse James' life, portraying him as an American version of Robin Hood, though there is no evidence to indicate that he actually "stole from the rich and gave to the poor". The song is the starting point of the Jesse James panel of a mural on American folk songs by Thomas Hart Benton.
But that dirty little coward
That shot Mr. Howard
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave.
Robert Ford, who killed Jesse, was a James' gang member. Mr. Howard was the alias that James lived under in Saint Joseph, Missouri at the time of his killing.
