is this a mid 2000's high school movie, who even uses "loser" like that? are u going to call me a square next? "As if? Whatever?"

what's loserish is policing who folks listen to and the pasts of every single artist

it used to be the old church folks who judged who u listened to and said u can't listen to eminem or whatever lol now it's the kids who grew up on tumblr. what is it like being so perfect can u please teach us

should i also check the background of the guy who cleans my pool and the woman who trims my hedges?

Does R Kelly even really have access to his bank account while in prison? Like what is he going to spend his streaming money from Ignition remix and Step in the Name of Love on? F***ing noodles and a lil TV for his shack in the max security prison hes going to spend the rest of his life in? Like who gives a f*** listen to the song if u want to

Everybody: ayo, pedophiles are sick individuals and I have a problem with that.

@knockknockwhoitis : OH YOU FAKE MORAL SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIOR SO SENSITIVE WHAT ABOUT THESE GANG MEMBERS THAT RAP ABOUT ENEMY GANG MEMBERS!

i don't think niggas would be going after Elvis. Graceland is a huge attraction and no one is going after Jimmy Page or Steven Tyler. No one went after Paul Walker and David Bowie either and they were both alive recently

Niggas talking like if you stream his songs sometimes he’s going to use the money to build a weapon of mass pedophilia and break out of prison like pedophile Bane

Like, no he’s going to buy noodles and cigarettes

no one knew about Paul Walker or David Bowie's bullshit at large until they both perished lol

pedophiles are sick and i have a problem with pedophiles

i also have a problem with people whose brains are so infinitesimally small that they cannot realize you can watch a Woody Allen movie and not support marrying your stepdaughter. You can listen to R. Kelly and not support adults marrying children. You can listen to Solange and not support assault and battery

pretty basic stuff

How is that comparable

Kelly was a rapist, held child p***ography and even had cult charges

do you know what statutory rape is? is that a foreign concept to you?

No I’m talking forceable encounters

They can read about what he did to his 17 year old intern. The court transcript is public

you missed my long ass post earlier when I said you are allowed to do all that lol. Also you do understand why there are others that can't do this?

Cause you're the one that came into the thread hostile out the gate lol.

tbf, and I know ppl don’t want to hear this, but f***ing a 16 y/o in 1955 v. 1975 v. 2001 v. 2021 all had different social stigmas attached to them.

there are more factors than race. we’re not cancelling Marvin Gaye either.

if the music is good ima tune in regardless tbh

like im not gonna stop listening to x prolly ever his music was a big part of my teens

but if i've never heard their music before and the first thing i know about them is some heinous s*** they did i prolly won't end up even tuning in lol

shawty in "the tape" was 14 tho.

The least legally wicked thing he did was marry Aaliyah. His rap sheet longer than his discography twice over

wow, no one knew that these white men were sleeping with minors until they passed away? how convenient!

what would it take for people to know? would it take Lori Maddox writing an article titled "I lost my virginity to David Bowie" in 2015, the year before Bowie died? thrillist.com/entertainment/nation/i-lost-my-virginity-to-david-bowie

would it take Perez Hilton writing an article in 2009 about a 35 year old Walker being engaged to a teenager? perezhilton.com/2009-02-05-paul-walker-35-engaged-to-teenager#sthash.NMcVRRAr.dpb

idk

yes. so R. Kelly is guilty of the same thing that Steven Tyler, Jimmy Page, Paul Walker, David Bowie (allegedly) all did

i wasn't being hostile, you were. i think everyone should make their own personal decision

i think it's a stupid decision if you start filtering out artists by behavior, but it's a decision anyone is free to make

my beef is with people who look down their noses and judge folks just bc they listen to a certain artist who has done something bad. because chances are that person is also making exceptions whether they know it or not

I like the juxtaposition of R Kelly—Daniel Caesar (a little jiving & shucking) under the 1 bracket of cancelling

R Kelly
Drake
Tory

ahahaha
