Extra afterthoughts:
- genuinely shocked and disinterested me to hear the r-word in whatever context on the first track lmao, i was worried of general shock value in subsequent tracks.
- guess i am a hoe for this one bc i was scared
- here’s the mockumentary/documentary if you want to see it for yourself!
- kinda forgot how touching the doc was until editing this now, several months later. so happy it exists. inspired me to start up a new series btw but we'll see if it ever happens!!!!
thank u for listening w/ me. lmk your thoughts of the album/my reaction/what i missed, or what we should listen to next :3

totally understand what you're getting at, and that kind of nuance/understanding is why i tend to bite my tongue at the initial mentions of them. i don't ever know—especially on first listen—artists' relationships with certain slurs, or the intentions in including them in their music. i just wanted to note it in my afterthoughts to keep honest of what stuck out to me. thank you for this insight, james :)

2023-07-19 09:23:11 +0000 UTCnot to ever defend slur usage but its definitly a more naunced discussion simply due to how unique rap is as a genre. rap and hiphop are cultivated around alot of street attitude and lifestyles which is why we have drug dealers, gangbangers and straight up murders. While rap and hip-hop are inherinitly progressive speaking on race, police brutiality, white supremcy its also important to recognise that alot of rappers grew up in impoverished places where alot of disussions around 'socially acceptable behaviours' just didnt happen. this is obviosuly not some big peggy apoligst comment as i think hes online enough to recognise that he shoudnt just be saying slurs. its more that as u discover more artists on your journey especially if you delve into music made by people who are in gangs, have sold drugs etc that there stuff isnt made to glorify anything but to let you understand different perspectives and how your life differs from theres. and unforutnely that often includes many outdated views on gender roles, sexuaity, disability. with 'newer' artists like kendrick the culture definitly is changing but these beleifs and traditions are often so deeply inbedded in peoples lives DUE to systematic racism and years of polices that aim to keep young POC impoverished. and while these artists may be able to get out of physical poverty, the more indoctrinating beliefs are hard to change. this is a long comment so ill stop myself from going into too much detail about the sociological study of rap but i think no matter how progressive hiphops origins are its important to understand the enviroment rap and hiphop exist in, in hopes you get more context from the more uncomfortable lyrics on your journey. feel free to disagree or add ur own perspective to whoever reads this, ive only done a little bit of research on hiphop and its link to racism on a basic sociological level
