Lets Get Retarded..
This is getting outta hand . . . Drizzy Forced to Apologize for J. Cole Line
- Thread starter Akademiks
- Start date
when homophobic apologies start happening...I dont even know...
EM and tyler wont back down
I can't believe we have come to the point where rappers have to actually apologize for a meaningless lyric that was obviously not used in reference to offend anyone. It's just a stupid line from a freestyle!
Are we at a point in music where you have to verify and justify every line you write/say to make sure that no one will be offended by it. So much for creativity.

By the way..I would've NEVER apologized for that line...shyt was literal faux outrage...
So it was a busta move to apologize for unnecessarily making a mockery out of a mental handicap for the sake of a line that wasn't even hot?
I mean sometimes you say some ill shyt...and it may be off the wall, it may step over a line, but for one reason or another it makes sense/has a place or within the context of the record is just too spot on to worry about backlash...this wasn't the case, the line was wack, it didn't enhance anything, it stuck out like a sore thumb for all the wrong reasons.
tyler??
He's a vocal proud self hatin c00n..that nikka is lost and needs to apologize to himself for hating his color
And eminem is a soulless cracka
So in conclusion..ur either a cracka or c00n
The end.
Goodnight

It's only sticking out because of the so-called controversy. You think the line was wack, so you would have skipped over it anyway. Not to mention, I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time J. Cole has mentioned retardation on a track.
Yea but ain't nobody leaning on him or trying to take his endorsements....he didn't have to apologize, HE WANTED TO...
Rappers as artists have a choice to fall back on creative licence, they also have the choice to keep it moving all together, he chose to actually speak on this particularly instance all while acknowledging that some lines in rap music aren't meant to be offensive and shouldn't be sparking protests every time someone doesn't like something that is said. Unless you think this was politically motivated I don't see how you CAN'T respect it.

There's really no difference...there's a bunch of people in the world with autism...just like there's a bunch of people that get murdered in senseless violence everyday (and families effected by said violence that are offended by references in music) ...rap songs aren't making people autistic anymore than they're directly causing murders...autism advocacy groups exist to catch feelings over random ass harmless rap lines, just like anti-violence advocates exist to be offended by rap for decades now...basically, this apologizing for lyrics shyt is getting comical now...j. cole's original apology made no fukking sense when he prefaced it with that first paragraph about how rap lyrics are essentially in the same ilk as comedy far as creative license goes...then Drake rushing in on some "you're not gonna out-sensitive me...I apologize TOO!" is borderline ridiculous...rappers should really just start apologizing for every song they make, or become gospel rappers at this point...but then also apologize to jews, muslims, buddhists and non-theists who may be offended by their gospel rhymes
Who ever said rap made people autistic. There are people who rap lines who would make fun of them. Much different than someone going out and killing. It's not even close to the same, at all. Do I think they need to apologize? No but I see nothing wrong with it if he felt that way.
He is saying rap lyrics are like comedy but he still felt bad. Just like someone telling a joke could feel bad. It's his words and I see nothing 'bytchass' or 'p*ssy' for him walking back his own words.

Well, we can't really say he wasn't 'forced' because we don't necessarily know the politics behind the scene. Cole was probably advised to say something before it grows any bigger. But even if it is coming from just him, it's AFTER something was said. This alone shows you that it can't be as genuine as people are trying to make it seem. Had he apologized without anyone bringing it up, I wouldn't say shyt and I would actually respect it. I still respect it because hey, what else is there to do?

Rap fans are so sensitive these days. 
Since when is rap a white collar profession that requires a clean driving record and a drug test?
