Took longer than i expected for weirdos to come in here talking about "social justice"

And imaging playing Elvis music

bro really came in here and said "I listen to Elvis, f*** social justice!"

you sleep ,elvis got some bangers

he might've stole, but there's a reason he's one of the best selling artists ever

I f*** w it

kanye made 5 consecutive classics

"that means 1 right after the mothafuckin other" - katt williams

i dont care what this man say. kanye the man vs the rapper are not the same

I think they are tbh. Kanyes always been the same guy

Why am I going to give a f*** about someone's work when they don't give a f*** about not dehumanizing others in their life

honestly ya. people actin like him saying wild s*** is new

but a lot fo folks tune him out for the slavery comments. i could give two f***s imma still listen to college dropout all the way to mbdtf

I normally do but I drew the line at R. Kelly

Always

Generally speaking, yes.

R Kelly makes good music

Charles Manson made good music

Tory makes good music

when i like the artist, yes

when i dont like the artist, no

Only if the music is good.

This actually really good.

Depends. Separating art from its artist seems a little destructive in nature as it was that artist who made the art. To separate it from them in any way is more dillusioning one's self than anything else. But we all tell ourselves little white lies to make ourselves feel better so art and artist separation isn't really any different. Some are easier than others. It's all subjective. If you like their music enough, it's easy for your moral compass to skew or take a backseat.

For me it's complicated. Not an artist, but bear with the example:
When I was a kid, I'd often stay after school in an aftercare program with this older woman named Ms. Joy. Despite her name she could be pretty abrasive, an excessive smoker--a fairly, older imperious woman. Though all-in-all she took care of us and during the program we'd always sit in the cafeteria and on a big wheel-out television we'd watch The Bill Cosby show. And while I don't think I ever cared about the show personally it was nice to watch it with Ms. Joy and my friends, so to some extent I liked it.

Fast forward to today: Ms. Joy is dead and Bill Cosby is in jail. For me, it's difficult to seperate the art of that sitcom show from the artist that was Bill Cosby because there's a lot of fond memories wrapped up in it.

But that's just me.

you're gonna have to separate my foot from your ASS if you joranok again.

we know

yes but i pick and choose my battles

Knowing what he did I get extremely uncomfortable while listening to R Kelly lol
