Certainly wasn't a great idea to perpetuate that abominable word. The world would be better off if we (had) let the word '******' fade into obscurity than to put it up front and take the word back only to have it be used in the same derogatory sense.
There is context to judge rap music on.
It might be subjective, but don't box yourself into a corner by saying there is no context to judge.
Doing whatever you want? I think Avant-Garde musicians. Even rock and country musicians can do what they want. Rappers didn't invent shock value, or bring it to prominence.
