You didn't provide a single example. This is not a real thing that happens or else you would have plenty of examples to lean upon. This is entirely anecdotal based on perception, not reality.

Now google rap stars in trouble over lyrics and read the overwhelming amount of responses you will get. Quit glossing over reality to push some bs narrative bud. The last article isn't even about lyrics lol, it's about how Moby treated her personally.

Get real dude.

The reason you hear about one over the other is b/c of what you actively listen to. It's also important to note who each artist is targeting in their music. Hardcore rap is not going to be put under the microscope by their fans b/c they expect it, they don't care. Media will still go to great lengths to paint them in a negative light but the fan bases just don't give a shit. Same can't be said about these other people.

Yea, I mean I berly listen to music news and this even rings true for me. Rap says some crazy shit and NOBODY talks about it at all.

Have you considered that you just haven't heard anyone talk about it because you barely listen to music news, like you said?

They are constantly under the microscope for their lyrics, you just aren't seeing it. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

I never said it never happens, I said it rings true for me and that I only ever hear criticisms for non rap artists.

Unless your talking about the religious right, but nobody cares when they criticize it

Ringing true for you is absolutely meaningless, your little world is not representative of the world at large. That's like saying you can't believe other languages are spoken b/c you don't hear it often.

You trying to confirm the post by saying it was true for you and then restating the post. That's when.

So stating my experience means that nobody else's could possibly be true? Is that what you think I mean?
