The pursuit of knowledge, talent, success, morality - all a million times more valid and noble than the pursuit of optimum masculinity. It doesn't accomplish a thing, it holds us back.

right i was not suggesting that being male alone was something a rapper should boast about
it's more of an instinctual/competitive thing, really. sort of like sports. i mean it's really not all that useful to be good at sports except for the fact that athletes have alot of the same physical skills/attributes that warriors had back in the day
and as a race men are driven to compete in this way biologically - because really that is what a male was supposed to traditionally bring to the table. so it only makes sense that it is our natural criteria for competition.
and so now we have athletes where you can say oh but they get skilled in a sport and they get rich and successful so that's an accomplishment. but those are just trophies we adorn them with because of their alpha status. other than that why would you want to pursue being a good athlete? what is it honestly contributing to society?
as for the allotment at birth you could probably say the same of a lot of things people brag about anyway. they brag about being good looking, that's certainly down to random luck. even intelligence... yet these are all universally acknowledged virtues
it seems like with feminism they want to strip away anything that might glorify masculinity out of fear of how that might impact femininity
but thats a bitch move son

i think the delivery and the music were macho posturing as well tbh
the whole energy of the song was on some primal violent let's **** **** up vibe
