he also brought out Torey Lanez, which is possibly the more unforgiveable move to a lot of his audience

old school rap showmanship of playfully insulting ppl in the crowd as peace, man cites. the issue isn't that he did that
Sorry, but this is very wrong. The shit he said on stage was also indefensible, gtfo with this excusing it.

Percentage-wise, how many mainstream rappers of DaBaby's generation still dabble in casual homophobia vs mainstream rappers of pretty much every previous generation?

forks i think the idea that a lot of dababy's fanbase is pro megan thee stallion and anti tory lanez or more broadly pro feminist and anti cancel cultural provocation is not borne out by being fans of dababy

There's like four decades of hypocrisy w/r/t rappers saying nasty things and it's pretty much arbitrary who or what gets in the crosshairs. Lolla and Gov Ball both made big deals about DaBaby being pulled from their lineup, but don't seem to care abt Young Thug, who tweeted transphobic shit at a 12 year old

Yeah, the hypocrisy and unequal reactions is shit, but specifically wrt to DaBaby, I can't help but wonder if there is something in the Lolla/Gov Ball contracts that gives them cover to pull him for something that happened on stage that might not hold up when trying to pull another artist for years old tweets.

it's really a question of money. i don't think festivals or any venue have a legal obligation to grant an artist a stage even if they've been booked so if lolla or whoever is paying dababy his full fee to go away there's prob not much of a legal discussion to be had. but if they're trying to withhold or pull back money from him then yeah. would be curious to read an article about it

old white guys talking about our world of young people and all but it should be noted that my 74 year old mother called and asked me if i liked da baby so this discourse has clearly made its way to The View levels of conversation.

not really surprised that young thug making a single transphobic tweet over a year ago didn't cause as much controversy as dababy being homophobic at a concert & then quadrupling down on it with worse comments to try to defend himself. as j0rdan said, dababy would probably have gotten away with it if he'd just apologised the day after instead of digging a much bigger hole for himself.
if young thug had doubled down on his transphobic tweet then & gone on a huge tirade or something it might have been a bigger deal but it was little enough that the public didn't care for too long, and it's not like people really care that much about transphobia as is anyway
― ufo, Monday, 2 August 2021 19:24 (two years ago) link
dababy refused to do a story with drew millard after he said 'hail satan' so that might give you some idea of the roots of his ethical/moral worldview
― xheugy eddy (D-40), Monday, 2 August 2021 19:24 (two years ago) link
daresay it's a lot simpler than that: dababy is a mainstream, popular rapper and so is Megan so there's a LOT of crossover in fanbase there and that crossover audience does NOT like lanez.
i don't think your feel for the situation is correct but it's not really worth arguing about any further. that mash up is really good tho

I'm sure that ilm is talking about contemporary hip-hop somewhere, but it's probably on a thread titled "All-purpose personal finance management / budget thread" or something.
