Well, everyone knows Future is inconsequential. Utterly. Completely without consequence in the grand (and even not so grand) scheme of things.
But yeah ... been loving the irony and hypocrisy of that.
Half the bad reviews on iTunes just say “I refuse to support this because of Trump/slavery” ...
Which is fine, but then you’re cutting yourself off from a lot of art. If we’re gonna boycott everything unethical, let’s be equal opportunity about it...
Prince glorified domestic violence. Michael Jackson diddled kids. John Lennon beat his wife. Jimi Hendrix was a dreadful misogynist and overall asshole. Ditto for Miles Davis. Bob Dylan denounced Jesus publicly (I don’t care, but surely that should ruffle a feather or two). Bob Marley has like 1,000 (literally — no exaggeration) bastard children all over Jamaica who he never cared for. Kurt Cobain was a sexist in some weird backwards ways, and left his beloved daughter in the care of a known and documented heroin addict who he claimed he was afraid of.
Chief Kief - Home invasion
Freddie Gibbs probably raped someone (honestly, probably)
Talib Kweli has assault charges looming (Talib!)
Jay-Z cheated on his wife with hookers, peddled crack on the streets, and probably murdered people
2 pac literally raped a stripper
Dr. Dre beat his ex-wife so badly so many times that she needed to have facial reconstructive surgery
Kanye said some words that were ill-advised, and people wanna boycot him.
Should we boycott every musician guilty of doing something unethical or controversial or criminal?
Does art not matter?
WTF, Amurica?
Fuck, “Mein Kampf” is the second most published book in the history of the world. Yeah, the book by Hitler.
But Kanye should probably be “canceled” (Jesus fucking Christ)
Because it’s so dumb it’s funny
