Brooksy, just do a few more characters and more frequently like Right Wing Obama and Right Wing Mandela, e.g. Left Wing Bannon, I could suggest plenty of others, but whatever you can do, infuse these with your serious commentary and you will make Alex Jones look like Wolf Blitzer.

Yo Alyona, it's a bit rich to baldly say rap is "supposed to be brutal and vicious". That obliquely implies it is a genre designed to attack people. But it is not. Rap, at least the best of it, attacks horrible ideas and abhorrent actions, and the people who have those ideas and do those acts are fairly incidental but serve to make it "real". You cannot have too much sympathy for them. But you can allow them to disown their prior ideas and denounce their former actions and find some redemption, and rap --- the best rap --- does often acknowledge this.
