rex is a bad example but kids absolutely do look up 2 problematic artists in that space

so hip hip made it ok rap about killing black men as well. Where is the outrage?

Man there's so much to unpack here the black community has been targeted with guns and d**** for decade it's ingrained in the culture but if we're going for low blows compare the number of white serial killers who idolized the rockstars and thought they worshipped Satan to black serial killers. See how f***ing stupid that sounds? Hip-Hop isn't responsible for the violence it's an outlet to speak about experiences and they just happen to be violent just like Rock wasn't responsible for the crazy obsessed fans who listened to it

What's disingenuous is to act like Hip-Hop isn't single out for being a predominant black medium

Honestly I think it's different because it's easier for artists to be exposed now thanks to the internet so if they were that bad we would know about it

maybe some fringe kids but It’s nowhere anywhere near as popular as hip hop

I don't imagine this is the kind of topic that generates more good feedback than bad, and being a writer now means you also have to be on social media all the time so it seems like a slog to endure

a lot of preachy rap has misogyny too and misogyny is a societal issue at large. even if you were to remove a lot of it theres way too much other s*** keeping it in place religion other forms of media news "manosphere" etc

It's true why are yall acting like it isn't

Bingo.

give cardi b a good review and the barbz will leak your entire life

Why can't people have an honest discussion about this s*** instead of p**** footing around it like this s*** is f***ing normal

that single line changes the whole context of the song though. same with you should just be yourself, right now you’re someone else simply because shorty’s having a good time. this is during the bridge, which is the climax and the most revealing part of the song.

in short - the song isn’t just him being upset because his girl has moved on, but he’s actively putting her down for it and having a life outside of him

is this about misogyny or murder?

i didn’t read the article cuz i ain’t giving this bullshit publication a click but lmk

Pedophile accusation is a hard one cause even the woman who made the accusation said she wasnt molested.

Facsist is because he was on coke and d*** binge but thats no excuse.

My stance remains the same tho. Im gnna still listen to these ppls music not once have i said im gonna stop listening to drake cause hes a meanie head.

Bro it’s Drake we’re talking about here lol one of the most calculated rappers that cares way too much about his image and if you think he would put that out and not mean it then idk what to tell you lol Tory was his boy and he def cosigned him on that s***

Let's leave Rolling Stone in 2022

tbf it’s a black writer lmaoooo

I mean, yeah, but comparatively it’s low. If you were gonna promote “awareness” about misogyny (which is a ridiculous concept in general imo), tackling hip hop would reach the largest target audience .

They don't care

Just googled, full honesty I didn’t see that update. Last I heard was mid November that his Spotify plays were back up before any kind of conclusions and I was referring to that

Hey, glad it went through the court system in that case. Happy to admit being wrong.

F*** dude

Bowie was a coked up dumbass that said a lot of stupid s*** but comparing him to what Kanye is doing (did) is just.. cmon. You're not that stupid.
