Wiz Khalifa fukking murked that shyt, lol didn't expect that.
See this is the thing that bothers me. They didn't trip off the fact his music promotes drug dealing and violence in the black community, but for the fact that he hinted at date rape on someone's song. fukk Reebok, and I don't care about their shyt anyway
True, true but there is hedging against gangsta talk. You can talk about your past, be a narrator, violent lines being protecting yourself against people trying to move against you and on.
But rape lyrics, there's no hedging that. The g's, men, women, police, ..., no one respects it in any form.
And Ross didn't try very hard to offset the problem either.
Eminem did it and had bigger demonstrations that this, he didn't give a fukk though and just smartened up. Luckily for Em, he does not have a problem with excessive spending, was too big for anyone to drop him from anything (even though he didn't have a lot of endorsements back then).
Ross however is a barely gold artist, he's replaceable.
It's just business.
