So, here's my FINAL point of all of this:
To everyone saying "listening to xxxx’s music is supporting them", I gots questions. TONS of them.
You or someone you know still bang to Dr. Dre's music, right...even after Dee Barnes and Michel'le came out and told you he beat their asses on the regular. If you went to see "Straight Outta Compton", you know you supported Dre (cause he definitely got a check for that movie), right? Hypocrite.
You still listen to the Temptations, right? You know David Ruffin damn near beat a tumor into Tammy Terrell, tho. You support them and play them at black cookouts knowing the fellow Temps knew too, right? Hypocrite.
Your parents love Miles Davis, don't they? Umm...didn't Miles cheat on and beat like three of his wives and like six of his girlfriends? Hypocrite.
Who supported (and still supports) knowingly the coke-addicted folk like Whitney, The Isleys, James Brown, compulsive gamblers (and asshole extraordinaire) like your basketball god Jordan, or porn-addicted cats like ya boy Kirk Franklin....yeah. EXACTLY.
I could go on and On, and ON...but you get the point. However, just in case you didn't, here it is:
You don't get to impose your MANUFACTURED MORALITY on the rest of us that chose art over life, just cause the TV told you to get outraged, especially when - once again - you KNEW how this Nasty-ass Nate named Robert moved around with that pedo shit for seemingly DECADES.
A group of wise men once told the chosen group of us almost 100 years ago that "Music is a universal language, and truly the greatest of the arts." So, I intend to enjoy as much art on this planet as I can, regardless of how the actual artists themselves act outside of the booth.
Besides, people have bought art from much worse people in humanity.
John Wayne Gacy STILL has art selling on the innanets to this very day. I'm sure people weren't supporting his murder spree of innocent boys and young men.
People collect Nazi art all the time. I don't consider those people (some of them) Hilter sympathizers or Holocaust deniers, either.
Point: NO one here has a clean life, and all of us are in agreement that Robert should have been LOCKED UP for his crimes....YEARS ago. If you wanna hate him. Fine. If you never want to listen to any song he made or makes ever again, that's cool too. You have that right.
But all that "you're just an enabler" shit....man, please. You can get THAT 10000% the fuck outta here.
What are you, levitating over the rest of us? Every artist you EVER liked or like now is clean as a bean?
STOP it, fam. Grow up. And keep your manufactured morality over there with the rest of the 'holier than thou's.
By the way....lock that muhfucka Robert up for 25-30 years.
