Recently it’s been easy to see and follow artists opinions on politics and what they do in their private life. Imagine if legendary artists back in the day were on social media and their personal life was more accessible to follow. A lot of groundbreaking and legendary artists would surely be cancelled. Are we in the age where an artist has to follow a certain agenda to have a successful career? Personally I feel like it’s ignorant to cancel an artist and partake in ruining their career over a view they had that’s against the mainstream and is put in the spotlight for it. Imagine if we just listened to people who had the exact same views as us? That’s boring and that’s now what being a human is about. I don’t want to name any artists and I don’t want to say I’m right wing or anything, truthfully I don’t pay attention to any of that stuff at all. So when I see my favorite artists being cancelled for their political views, it’s kind of mind boggling. I feel like there’s room for genuine discussion on this topic. It’s kind of lame to see mobs of people attacking an artist for believing in something Twitter is against.

I’m not defending artists who’ve gone to prison for actual crimes, just for having polarizing beliefs and opinions.

If I like them it's ok but if I don't then f*** em basically

it all depends on a person to person basis but i feel like there’s gotta be a limit cos we can’t just be excusing phil spector, r kelly and elvis presley but i do feel there’s a lot of artists where it can apply for like as much as kanye put niggas through bullshit i feel like i can still separate the s*** he’s done from his music. at the end of the day though i think it all gotta do with how you interact with art being made by morally questionable individuals

If people dont wanna f*** with an artist or public figure because of their political beliefs I think thats fair

I dont agree but I can see where they are coming from.

learn to space your paragraph. reading a whole lotta text on phone annoying

There's no line

they used to call bowie a nazi lol people either too young or just forgot

Yeah like with R Kelly I get that, he’s actually done awful things as a human being.

If the music is good I will listen.

People would hate Lou Reed if they learned more about him

Stream of thought sorry

i honestly couldn't care less. if it doesn't concern me i mind my business

r kelly like the most important r&b artist of the past 25 years but his crimes linked with his music too where it’s hard to separate it when he said Little cute Aaliyah’s got it on a song

theres no line
