Why is the music industry so violent?

I just read in the news that another rap star was shot. What is it with the music industry today? Rappers are shooting rappers to get ahead, and drive by shootings take out major rap stars. I can just imagine what it would have been like when I was young. The Captain and Tennille, Olivia-Newton John and the Steve Miller Band form a gang to shoot and kill Billy Joel!
