Maybe this isn’t the space to say it but I always thought some of the fans who were mourning pop in the context of gun violence was kinda weird because so much of the musical content was about those actions towards someone else? Sometimes I just wonder where the empathy is for the victims being portrayed in the music. So it was a lil confusing to me …like they thought it was bad but when it was in the song as lyrics it was fine..?

Edit: I know lyrics and reality can be separate things but people could be discerning enough to know what was off base and what was close to real so I thought it was a bit surprising to be surprised and lament what happen when it was what was happening just not to the person making the music at the time…

Thats how these fans are

They ignore the fact that these are actually real people getting affected by this. They dont care until their fav artist gets killed or locked up. Then its Free or LLJ Kay Flock

That is a true point though.

For the listener it is entertainment but. For the artists it's their lives. They are rapping about crimes they and their cohorts commit, make light of their ops murders, go on each other lives to argue which ultimately spills into the streets.

Their situation is untenable. The things that make their music popular will always lead them to death or jail. And most listeners are willing participants in that cycle. Even when artists try to pivot away from that type of music once they've gained a level of public fame they are shunned for doing it. Loski from the Harlem Spartans is an example of that.

I wouldn't be surprised if these major labels had risk insurance as well as peasant insurance on these artists. That way they get to capitalize from the buzz the artist created for themselves as well as their demise.

It’s because there was a line about nyc drill in one of the songs. I thought the same thing too since I was just listening to it before I read this
