im just saying thats why its surprising or hard to believe for a lot of people, i didnt say i dont believe when people say that or whatever

I don’t listen to rap like that so it doesn’t really apply to my sentiments

u saying this w a wknd avi

I just don't understand how "toxic masculinity" correlates to expecting someone to be a good person?

I thought that was some negative s*** y'all mfers be saying.

Yeah? And if it was outed that The Weeknd was a serial rapist or smth like that obviously I wouldn’t be okay with that but I’m not expecting him to evil like that

Brother that was the album description for CLB

i dont, and short of rape and murder, i will listen to them regardless.

you can expect your fav artists to engage in s*** behavior and still be surprised/upset when your suspicions are confirmed.

edit: we'll i give everyone the benefit of the doubt upon first listening/watching them, but my assumption is most ppl in hollywood have skeletons

I aint one of his stans, all I listen to is the music, ionno man.

Cuz the music is so beautifully and intricate that you just think they must be humanitarians

Lmao just lettin u know the post was in jest

Can't believe CLB was supposed to be this and it was filled with mid and lines about the Ye beef Actually fits with Her Loss a lot better

Cause niggas be living vicariously through these artists

I mean they're human beings, we act like their Gods but they're just people like you and I.

The difference is that when the f*** up it's public, but when we do it it's private.

Then we lambast them for s*** that people do all the time, it's just that they paid the price for clout which is having all your negativity be publicized. They're just doing what they do, or what they think is best at the time. There's no good/bad to it, it's just all ignorance at some level.

Huh? I don’t understand you at all op. I expect people to be decent people (good is a lot to ask the general public). If anything I have seen the exact opposite where most artist, especially in the rap hemisphere, get away with some pretty heinous things.

lot of people idolize celebs, so i think the idea is that the person you idolize is actually a good person

i think it’s more so a parasocial thing. you’ll wanna believe your fav isn’t like the rest but all the signs will point to it. and it’s why we see a lot of picking and choosing when it comes to artist being exposed for being what they are

i guess it’s not even ppl wanting them to be innocent. they just like the music so much they’d rather ignore the bad

This is it, idk wtf half the ppl are saying here

Can you elaborate? I understand the acceptance of truth part, but not the toxic masc

Aubrey?

only way to make art and have longevity is to be a s***ty person or go through excruciatingly dark moments

Nigga what

I’ll do my best to explain. I let my humbleness turn to numbness at times letting time go by knowing I got the endurance to catch it another time
I work with every breath in my body cause it’s the work not air that makes me feel alive
That’s some real detrimental s*** but that’s that s*** my perfectionist mind doesn’t really mind because no one knows whats on my mind when I go to sleep at 9 & wake up at 5 - unless I say it in rhyme
I can’t remember the last time someone put they phone down, looked me in the eyes and asked my current insight on the times
But I remember every single time someone shined a light in my eyes
I purposely try to forget what went on between some ppl and I because I know I’m not a forgiving guy even when I try
My urge for revenge wins the game against my good guy inside every single fckn time
I got plans I can’t talk about with more than like 4 guys because the last time I shared em with someone on the outside…well that’s another story for another night
I was tryna get thru that statement to get to saying I’m not @ a time in my life where pats on the shoulder help get me by
I’ll take loyalty over an oh my & emoji fire
I know if it was a dark night where all the odds were against my side & my skill went to whoever took my life they’d done me off with a big smile & maybe evn post it for some likes
I know everyone that tells me they love me doesn’t love me all the time especially when im doing better than alright & they have to watch it from whatever point they at in their life
I got here being realistic
I didn’t get here being blind
I know whats what and especially what and who is by my side
Honestly…Nevermind.

Expecting dudes who rap about murder & making making Narcissism their brand to be Dali Lama irl is pretty funny

Not condoning what Carti did but not surprised by it either
