To be fair, that was just an allegation that's never been proven and the evidence for it is very shaky.

But Tupac has been dead since 96 so you can't really compare it to a controversy involving a living artist in the social media age.

Not confirmed at all actually

where it gets weird tho is 99% of the time nobody wants to just come out and say "no i really don't care abt who they are as people if i like the music"

this part right here is facts. and some people will say they draw lines to certain stuff but then when someone else does it they’re moving goalposts. just separate the art and go about your day

Also funny how people forget that Dolores C Tucker tried to get Pac's music banned, Ross lost a deal for his date rape lyric, LGBTQ movements tried to boycott Eminem, and Tyler got banned from the UK for his lyrics.

Niggas got selective memory lol.

whatever makes u feel better bro

I agree with the sentiment of this thread but some of these examples are way off

ngl i think we all just need to accept that the kinds of people who succeed in the music industry tend to be twisted weirdos, there's a reason success is associated w selling ur soul. whether u know it or not, ur favs are probably f***ing disgusting people.

and the important thing is, it really doesn't f***ing matter. success is 90% labels 10% fans. picking and choosing who u listen to based on morals is not going to keep awful people from success. arguments like "you are financially supporting a bad person" are majorly flawed bc of this. in reality, who you listen to doesn't really financially matter. not listening to "cancelled" artists really only functions as a way to morally grandstand and (i hate this term) virtue signal. 100% performative bullshit.

so respectfully, yeah i will still listen to carti and remix to ignition and tay k and whatever kankan drops next. I dont give a s*** about their moral fiber, as long as the music is good.

pop smoke literally said he dont fw gay niggas on his biggest song and nobody blinked an eye 😂😂😂

doesnt excuse any of this but it is funny how ppl pick and choose what 2 be mad at

no they dont

OP is talking abt their place in today's culture

tyler is fkn loved in the US, so is pac, so is ross, etc. Tory is not.

it was this thread
@Vagabonds and @atlonglastrakim know the girl

ok sure swap out tupac w drake or carti or any of these other dudes we know are weirdos but everyone still listens

OP mentioned being held accountable though.

Ross losing that deal, Pac/Em getting protested, and Tyler getting banned from a whole country clearly show that they were held accountable at one point.

It's just that there's tons of recency bias in the social media age so whichever controversy is the most current trending topic will get talked about the most for the time being.

I’ve been in that thread already lol

Tyler said he met her this year and based on the music and the things they’ve posted it lines up 🤷🏾

And those 2 don’t know her lol, one of them claimed to know someone who knows her and the other one is an obsessed stan

What happened to Travis

he meant being held accountable in the court of public opinion, not specific reactions.

talking abt the collective mindset of society at large.

were you not here when Tyler was being burned at the stake like two weeks ago for talking to a 19 year old

I mean people do keep the same energy. They get mad, they make jokes, they get disrespectful, something else happens and they move on. They need to bring new energy and start running down on celebs for the fade.

Just want to say the Bella Harris story is completely false.

TMZ broke the story and everyone else used them as sources. Then TMZ recanted the story because and every journalistic integrity put out a retraction, because it was verifiable.

Some of these Drake's a weirdo stories are literally Perez Hilton tier. Believing them is Facebook boomer status.

yeah this. i should’ve made that more clear in the title i guess cause a lot of people are thinking otherwise

the music industry in a nutshell is incredibly f***ed up, and anyone trying to cast judgment on one artist in particular is automatically a hypocrite.

Yall worship the very thing you swear to condemn

you can say literally the same exact thing about XXX’s domestic violence case, what’s the difference?

sometimes we just wanna listen to music brah and we have a justice system

he statutory raped Rubi Rose when he was 23 and she was 16
