nobody's doing that?
these are acknowledged crimes that were brought up by the victims and resulted in the law being involved.
Majority of those people in your list did what they did in an era where no social media was around for them to suffer the consequences, therefore your point remaining moot. Also, Spotify reneged and put XXXtentacion music back on after majority of the artists (rightfully so) said that's a slippery slope. And R Kelly is on spotify too.
So your whole post is moot.
FURTHERMORE. you said "mute" is only based around Bill Cosby when Harvey Weinstein was going through the exact same outrage and protests at the same exact time.
also the whole idea of Me Too (which gave the mute R. Kelly movement a major boost) was holding people accountable who had escaped accountability. Bill Cosby did his s*** before social media, too
so your idea that "well it was a different era so it's moot" is dumb as hell
people are just mad selective with their outrage. we rap and sing along to songs that celebrate and perpetuate murder and make fun of actual dead kids (ATK vs. 4KT), tons of Durk, Duck, all of Chiraq / UK drill. no one is muting Marvin Gaye or Aerosmith or Led Zeppelin
You have no principle. You just have a need to feel morally superior and people are rightly pointing out how silly that is
It’s not enough to cancel him but it’s so memorably embarrassing that it’s enough to put you off checking for him
Made me realize goldlink was underrated ego guy
They played I Believe I Can Fly at my pre-k graduation my nigga I am f***ed!!
F*** R Kelly, but his estate just gon have to take my .006 of a penny whenever ignition remix comes on. And I don’t feel too bad about it because he’s in prison
"so u have a statute of limitations on caring about pedophilia?"
Where in my post did I say that.
Them niggas was sick for what they did. All I did was address you pointing out Spotify and saying if there was a media like spotify in the 60s and 70s when people was doing shady s***, I'm sure more consequences would've been had.
But it wasn't.
I'm just saying facts. Nothing about this says "nah his pedophilia was in the 60's it's cool."
You continued to use spotify in your argument to support 2 artists....that...spotify still has on their platform.
That was all I was addressing with that argument.
my point is that there are a slew of artists who have had poor personal conduct, but forums like this and places like Spotify for whatever reason seem to only get their d***s hard for black male artists
mute Solange next? she f***ed a nigga up in an elevator last I recall
Some can separate the art from the individual
Some can't.
If you can't, then that's okay and completely understandable. Listening to an artist who you know is a pedo is for some an impossible thing to do.
But
To make the insinuation that someone actually supports pedo or rape because they listen to 2pac, Michael Jackson, watches Bill Cosby, or whatever is a nasty insinuation. I would hope that people understand that one can like Michael Jackson the artist without supporting pedophilia.
Oh I am not excusing it. There is never an excuse for that
I'm more or less saying that sooo many acts and entertainers indulge in foul s*** that it would be exhausting to try and see who to listen to or watch on the basis of their actions off camera.
You don’t have to do an investigation on every artist you like to see if they’re scumbags in real life or not, but we’re talking about people whose business is already out there. No one can expect you to stop listening to a pedophile if you don’t know they’re a pedophile, but if you do know (are we still using “allegedly” with R. Kelly?), then yes, it looks very much to other people like that information doesn’t bother you very much.

Fam what are you talking about? this site is legit one of the few sites that brings up these weirdo white no name rock artists (sorry to me, I know they might be famous in some circles) that be accused of sexual assault or pedophilia and s***.
Hell, I aint know Marilyn Manson was accused until KTT2 brought it up.

That's ridiculous.
Like I said, if you can't understand that I can listen to thriller from the artist michael jackson and also NOT support pedophilia then I got nothing for you.
EYE didn't think that concept was all that complex tbh
I think it's deeper than that.
These people have done things are beyond things you disagree with, they've done some truly despicable deeds.
That's why I understand if niggas can't listen to kellz anymore, or watch the cosby show. I get it. Truly.
Well the only person I really think did something so messed up that I cant f*** with their music anymore is Ian watkins from lostprophets but I outgrew that music anyways
say cancel in a thread on ktt and i pop up like bloody mary
such a loser bruh lol.
If it was a problem R Kelly should’ve been assassinated before he recorded all that heat.
But no, we waited too long. And now we have no choice but to listen. Listen, without shame.
funny thing is I kindaaaaaaaa agree w this.
not really but I do hate that ppl get all self-righteous about s*** in a given moment when the info was ALWAYS THERE.
I mean... with R Kelly he tried to marry a teenager and there were articles written about his creepiness and collectively, we (blacks in particular) chose to ignore it and let him rock.
similar with MJ. even though i’m not convinced he raped any children tbh, he definitely had inappropriate relationships with kids and we just let it rock. Idl how we act all self righteous about it now just bc some white dudes made a doc.
As long as you’re not purchasing the merchandise of a known pedophile or attending their concerts and putting significant amounts of money directly into their pockets, I feel like u should b good
That's ridiculous.
Like I said, if you can't understand that I can listen to thriller from the artist michael jackson and also NOT support pedophilia then I got nothing for you.
EYE didn't think that concept was all that complex tbh
these niggas probably 12 and got all their ideas of how life works from tumblr
if u giving streams or money to r kelly ur disgusting
I’m sorry, I never said I was good
also the whole idea of Me Too (which gave the mute R. Kelly movement a major boost) was holding people accountable who had escaped accountability. Bill Cosby did his s*** before social media, too

Let me explain some mind breaking information with you sir:
Most them niggas you brought up are no longer with us on this planet you scatterbrained dipshit loser nigga.
If Elvis was still alive you don't think niggas would be going at that nigga?
THAT'S what I mean when I say it's a different era. Most them pedophile white men aint live long enough to see their dirty laundry get brought up.
Cosby just so happened to be alive.
if u giving streams or money to r kelly ur disgusting
This is impossible to do, he makes no money from streams. You can listen to this man guilt-free. But will you
