It’s still true that the only people an artist needs to be accountable to his own fanbase
The LGBTQBBQ people got all upset when Snoop first said “Frisco ****”
They huffed and puffed and it’s off the record now so is Biggie’s “I don’t give a **** if she’s pregnant- snatch the number 1 mom pendant”
But as the years roll into decades guess what? The people who buy the concert tickets and listen to the music just don’t give a ****. Money talks and bull**** walks.
The PC anti-fun police can’t stop it and if they start up with their oppressive moralism for all - it just sells more records - haha!!!
But... little PC puss wads like Kendrick “oh noes a white person sang my song” Lamar wants to be the new negro God Squad but none of the good next generation rappers give a ****. They wanna party and have a good time and that’s what they’re going to do.
Final note: Just FYI
Nihilism, self-degradation, and life’s not worth it are the most common themes in hip hop- from a literary standpoint hip hop’s closest cousins are Sartre, Nietzsche, and Dazai
The worship of drugs and money and celebration of criminal activity is second
Lyrical content like homophobia, mysogyny, and self-aggrandizement are all distant thirds
