The grime/hip hop genre has come under scrutany from the government because some of the music steming from it has been said to contain violent and vulgar lyrics that encourage gun and knife crime and gang culture among specifically the black youth. The goverment ran a taskforce called operation trident to tackle this problem, operation has recently been highlighted within the grime community for intefeering and trying to dilute the harsh lyrics of a popular grime artist named "Giggs" also known as "Hollowman". Operation trident has been critised for restricting the freedom of speech of the grime artist and thus holding their carrer movement back. The artist Giggs was prevented from touring the UK by the police and operation trident, and as a result it has caused a sense of resentmen towards the police and trident frome grime/rap fans. The police and operation Trident have been recently critisised by the guardian newspaper for cancelling Gigg's U.K tour and have said that the police and trident should be asking grime/rap artists to speak out against gun/knife crime instead of cancelling shows.
