This is getting outta hand . . . Drizzy Forced to Apologize for J. Cole Line

[Akademiks]

Drake also just apologized . . .

J.Cole wrote a beautiful and moving apology to individuals and families affected by autism who were understandably hurt by a verse in "Jodeci Freestyle". I share responsibility and offer my sincerest apologies for the pain this has caused. Individuals with autism have brilliant and creative minds, and their gifts should not be disparaged or discounted. This was a learning lesson for both of us, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to try to right this wrong. J. Cole and I believe that it is the right, responsible, and respectful decision to remove the lyric from the song.

Im afraid music will never be the same again.

when homophobic apologies start happening...I dont even know...

 

[LandryFieldsDad]

hip hop has officially lost its edge

These nikkas saw what happened to Ross and don't want to let it get out of hand. But for Cole, being a fellow Dreamvillian, I think it was a busta ass move.

but rappers can kill and sell all the drugs they want

Except the killing and drug selling is a choice. Having Autism is not. That's why there is a difference.

And this is what you sacrifice to be the dominant music genre in the country. When Hip Hop was smaller and less people listened to it, it didn't have to apologize. With the amount of people who listen to it now it comes with the territory.

It's not a choice for the person being killed.

Not really my point, but okay.

I think a single apology is too much but it's kinda cool for Drake to back his mans like that and not leave him out to dry.
