As i’ve gotten older i’ve realized how silly it is to hold entertainment to that standard but i think its f***ed up people sleep on how influential rap can be because there are much bigger socioeconomic causes to what we could say are symptoms of negative rap influence but f*** it i guess lol

Lmaoo NBA Youngboy almost just f***ed up Ja Morant career and they probably never even had a conversation 😭

All depends on if the musics good or not

Gotta treat musicians like WWE wrestlers at this point

Read it as “do you care if an artist is autistic or not”

No I’m an adult

I feel like that was here today gone tomorrow tbh

But idk how that affected her or anything

Just from a very casual fan looking it

Dave blunts goated

Depends what their subject matter and supposed strengths are

the same marketing and character building etc goes into a lot of the acts

Probably have some of the same writers, stylists, marketers etc. (total guess and assumption but it feels right to say off vibes)

Yes, you can't fake the funk

I appreciate Drake because he's authentically petty and sensitive in spite of how reckless he talks on wax

I don't really care. I just listen to music and don't get into parasocial relationships with artists

What’s he done

That’s genuinely the realest thing about him

Nobody does that better

Ppl constantly use the “b-b-but movies” like Arnold is telling the audience as the terminator that they are b**** ass niggas and name dropping REAL names of dead people he shot and pointing out real locations

Lotta rap fans full of s*** tbh

Not rly long as they not corny about it

I think there’s a way to be authentically making music that’s a “performance” or “telling a story” without it being a “LARP” or cosplay or whatever. I’m thinking of old country artists singing from the perspective of protagonists that reflect certain themes or stories that ~are~ authentic to the artist without being their life story, or rappers who are painting a picture of a certain life or things that they’ve seen to get at a larger point or emotion that is authentic to their perspective even if it’s not their real life . I don’t listen to enough Lizzo to comment on this instance specifically, but I suspect if she was rapping about buying strippers for her dancers I’d like the music more lol

Yes

I’ll still fw their music if they arent but I def value artist who seem authentic more

think her situation has more to do with her being more of a pop commodity than being inauthentic directly

It's cool if they are but also impressive if they arent but can still sell it. It's a performance and they are basically actors.
