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

[Bean]

J. Cole and Drake are 2 of my favorite rappers right now but i can't fukk wit this apology shyt. i don't like my rappers apologizin for bein rappers. in the breakfast club interview when asked about a Mr. Cee line Cole said he respected Cee but the rapper in him made him say the line, i think thats what he should've said here. people are sensitive as fukk nowadays

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

EM and tyler wont back down

Oh really? Is that why he dissed Elton John then performed with him?

 

[obarth]

You nikkas and your rose colored glasses when it comes to the past are annoying as hell. This isn't hip hop becoming soft nowadays. You dudes are being willfully ignorant of the long ass history in this genre of tracks being censored on retail explicit versions of albums. Since the damn 80s

nikkas were censoring everything from threatening police and rape to homophobic slurs, pregnant women, other people's names, curse words and religion

B..b..b...but skinny jeans

and is the woman's kid (the one who sparked all this shyt) faux autistic? stop it.

No..he wasnt...but was she faux outraged?..maybe..maybe not...i can tell u majority of the people complaining were tho...cause the line ain't really offensive..and if she had such a problem...she didnt have to listen to the damn song..I have an autistic godson...everyone has autistic people in their family...and different kinds of people that these rappers talk about in their families as well...if there was outrage at EVERY little thing someone says in a rap...muhfukkas wouldn't be able to say shyt..like I said...there is offensive lines...and then there's J Coles line...people need to get a fukkin life...real talk...and if I said the line...I WOULD NOT have apologized for the line..at all...

OMG...THESE ARE RHYMES.

Did Tom Hanks ever apologize to crooked-backed folks for playing Forrest Gump??

I don't think its anyone's place to be saying whether or not she was truly offended or not. the speculation is useless, you're not in her head. and there seems to be more faux outrage at the 'faux outrage' than the original outrage lmao.

who cares if rappers apologize for their shyt? aint like you cant still listen to the song, its not like this is ruining the message of the song or some shyt. who the fukk cares? why yall so mad that someone with an autistic child took offense to a line equating autism with retards. shyt is dumb to cause a fuss over in general. this shyt aint gonna dilute the genre or some shyt. and even if it did, who the fukk cares.

"wahhhhhh we cant call autistic people retards or talk about raping women without people getting mad anymore wahhhhhh hip hop is dead"

if that shyt is hip hop's calling card (its not), and the genre just cant be as good without it (it can be) then we got bigger problems. The genre, the music, it'll all be fine.

Everyone should just go head and take a breather.

 

[Dwight Howard]

I understand where there coming from but this shyt is making hip-hop lose its 'edge'. part of what makes hip-hop appealing in the first place is its no-boundaries, uncensored, idgaf lyricism

nobody batted an eye when wayne said this

And you should be my paper if ever the tool drawn
Yeah
Flow retarded when I spit I get my drool on

and there was just as big of an issue with autism back then. whats happening is, these social groups are gaining leverage when it comes to controlling the content released on public platforms. Its almost like a form of censorship to these big name, corporation fueled artist. Its pretty sad to see.

 

[Flav]

cmon breh, u can fukk around and catch a body like that but u cant risk offending a few retards

these rap nikkas is so fukkin soft these days.

I never said I knew what she was thinking...which is why I said she may or may not really be outraged...also..I pointed out what I WOULD do...not what J Cole SHOULD do...I'm saying ME...as an artist..would not apologize for a bullshyt harmless line like that..period...this shyt is setting a precedent that I don't like...muhfukkas could just complain over ANY little thing a rapper says now and it blows up into some big thing cause of all the follow the leader ass bandwagon no life having a$$holes on the Internet..fukk outta here...

hip hop has officially lost its edge

Shock value and comedy is one thing but when you disrespecting people with serious issues you are just asking for problems

"And my flow is retarded, I spit autism" - childdish gambino

"i spit that retarded shyt, call it autism" big sean

This beat is retarded so therefore my flow is autistic - BOB

none of these nikkas had to apologize

Drake people made the nikka apologize unlike the three people you mentioned drake actually has sponsors

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

i don't think he should have to apologize, if you truly feel bad then you did absolutely the right thing


but as far as this thread, there has been some serious quality posting


@Constellations @OnlyInCalifornia @LionofJudah rarely do I read and thread and be like there was some good commentary in here from both ends of the spectrum instead of the usual bullshyt arguing
