Hip Hop as a Rape Culture

Ashley Judd's comments about hip hop as a rape culture caused a lot of controversy and were thought to have racial undertones because of hip hop being a predominately African American genre. She then apologized for her comments saying they were a general statement about how popular rap today promotes misogyny. Should she have apologized? Mainstream hip hop does promote misogyny and objectifies women. Obviously not all hip hop is misogynistic but much of popular hip hop revolves around violence. How has this de evolution of hip hop start? Has popular hip hop ever been considered "clean" or at least not so violent?
