    A grown man losing an Internet argument has to resort to calling a 21 year old ‘zit boy’ because you saw a pic of me with acne when I was 15. Lmao.

    I never said stop enjoying it, or that you can’t like it. I was wondering if that line resonated with you at all, which is a valid question

    to be fair there is a scourge of white americans who “love rap” and have political beliefs that contribute to the destruction of the communities that produce rap music

    nah, while I don't think you need to agree with an artist's political beliefs to like their music, I do think it's kinda weird how many rap fans on here have this disconnect. I mean west coast rap (your favorite :emoji_stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:) essentially began as protest music against this stuff

    anyone who doubts the breadth of police violence in america should take note that the video of a cop kneeling on a man’s neck for seven minutes while he slowly suffocates to death might not meet the standard to charge the cop with murder, much less convict him.

    that’s not the same thing. no one is saying an audience should agree with what’s depicted in art or even with an artist’s political views, but it’s irreconcilable to be a rap fan and, for example, tsk-tsk the conduct of people protesting police violence

    yeah but the sopranos is fiction and part of and the takeaway is that they're are all horrible and to make you feel cognitive dissonance when you're rooting for a character who's a bad person

    no, that’s different. rap comes from black communities and has functioned as protest music since its beginnings, it’s politically incoherent to say “i’m a kendrick lamar fan but think protesters should be kinder to cops.” it’s the actual essence of the genre.
