Dudes are cool with giving credit to Lil Wayne and Future for the **** like the sound of music, but when it comes to the ills they've popularized dudes get defensive.
Well, Bobby Brown was using drugs too. George Clinton was using drugs.
Dudes can't have real conversations.
And we'll be having the same conversation again in a couple of months.
They aren’t perfect people. They too, are part of “the problem” if you want to call it that. But while recognizing what they contributed is harmful.....addiction, sex, drugs, rock and roll and debauchery is a cultural issue that didn’t just start in 2010 with them rapping, or popularizing lean and other drugs in music.
Y’all love to make it seem like, “new rappers” who “glorify drug use” because of guys like Wayne and Future are some new phenomena....and it completely misses the larger point and real conversation to be had. This isn’t a “caping” or “defending” post...which this thread increasingly turns into.
This is more to look at the societal root and subcultures within music and destructive behavior...that’s much deeper than the surface level dudes rush to blame to. I’m always down for a true conversation on this topic...in good faith. But we aren’t going to get that here. Just reactionary posts. I already see how this will go .
