I agree to a certain extent but I don’t think it’s a race thing, it’s just a cultural thing in general. Regardless of race people are just getting too soft and wanna be seen as PC and social activists. But if nothing else it’s going to end up f***ing up all the arts!

Nas is on a different level

Not defending abuse towards women at all here, but I am pretty sick and damn tired of certain narratives being brought up. Kelis was an abuser in her relationship with Nas and Nas abused her as well. They were both just bad for one another. It's also something to note that Nas's daughter Destiny has frequently spoken about abuse she endured by Kelis while the two were together. And the son Nas and Kelis had together even said his own mother was doing the most to keep him from seeing his pops

Not picking sides here, but it's clear that both of them were clearly toxic for one another, and it's why they got divorced in the first f***in place. Kelis just made it worse by tryna finesse alimony and child support money.

That’s kinda my point though. Why should you feel the need to explain yourself and say that you don’t agree with domestic abuse. Surely that’s the go to view point. But these days if you don’t openly write that you disagree with it then everyone’s go to viewpoint is that you are sexist and you agree with it. That’s where our society is just ass! Surely most normal people don’t agree with sexism, racism, abuse of any sort, but these days you’ve gotta be seen to be telling people you’re actively against it. I’d assume the vast majority of people are and have always been against it

Eminem wrote songs about his toxic relationship with his ex wife, I remember a lyric saying she deserved to get hit... And then there's this...
You let me beat the s*** out you before you beat the s*** out me
song-crazy in love
Yet people give him that credence of "they both were toxic"
only black people in the industry get scrutinized the way they do, there's a difference between holding people accountable for their actions and demonizing a specific set of people whilst overlooking others for the same thing.
Same with the double standard around white women in the industry having multiple baby fathers and black women having multiple baby fathers ...

Ultra Black song of the decade already

Better judge of an album than critic scores these days. Same goes for video games, there’s so much bias in reviews now they’re a joke

That only really applies to people with weird ass stans though, like Nicki or Eminem. While normal artist may have a few like that I don’t think it’s the norm, just a few outliers

my pants supposed to sag

My ex found out about the whole Kelis abuse allegations and said she's not gonna listen to Nas anymore, which was actually one of the few rappers she "liked'. I told her that there's two sides to every story and we don't know all the details, but she already made up her mind. I'm glad I ended things with that b****

never heard about any kelis abuse allegations please explain teal_

Kelis said that Nas was mentally and physically abusive towards her but she didn't go into detail.

8.2 is a fair score for this album

That was it before the weird reviews came in, the first ones were on point

hmm

She's the same one that felt uncomfortable listening to TPAB because of how "racially charged" it was.

Lmao they locked the thread AP3 made.

KTT can't have these discussions.

What thread?

ktt2.com/rolling-stone-review-says-nas-hates-women-84022

Makes zero sense. Active thread, actual discussion. And half the threads they leave active are terrible

That one dude was wylin about Nas being a super woman hater but who cares
