I go through the same thought processes and let me talk it through a sec. It’s that and the suicide talk for me, especially from people like Uzi with the whole heaven’s gate s***. I’ve been the kid finding myself romanticizing my depression and feeding into the intrusive thoughts because my favorite artists did it too. I’ve known people who’ve taken their own lives and I know how much pain it causes. I also have a cousin in and out of rehab from benzos so hearing everyone in a club talking about “I did half a xan thirteen hours til I land” and a million other songs like it’s fun and casual really gets to me sometimes.

At the same time… art isn’t art without depiction of the darkest parts of the human condition. I get frustrated, but I’m not about to pretend that we’re better off without it ever being discussed. If songs stopped talking about the 27 club or not making it past 21 tomorrow, kids would still be dying. What I wish artists would be a bit more conscious of is the thin line between shock value and glamorization. It’s hard to listen to Juice WRLD for obvious reasons now, and a big part of that is because he wasn’t subtle in his lyrics. But how can you blame a kid who effectively killed himself by living the portraits he painted? A literal kid. He was 21. That’s a year younger than a kid in my college class was when he killed himself.

So where’s the line? I said earlier that a lot of the time I’m just not in the mood to hear Future talk about misogynistic s*** like we haven’t heard it a million times over the years, but his contributions to d*** abuse normalization in rap music are a similar dynamic. But I’ve sung the chorus of Mask Off a million times without thinking about it. What’s worse, creating the art or consuming it without thinking twice? If Future lived that life, who’s to tell him not to talk about it? If we’re going to stream it, who’s to tell him not to sell it? We’re not innocent in this dynamic and the best I’ve been able to do personally is be honest with myself about it.
