Rap doesn't always have to be Political or Conscious but the way some of you niggas talk about that type of lyrical content in a majority Black Genre is deeply concerning.
Shawn Cee gives his review of ‘Iceman,’ saying that there are some good songs sonically but he can’t take the subject matter seriously when you listen to what Drake is saying:
“In order to enjoy Drake at his best, you have to entertain the things that he is saying. And the things that he is saying when they don’t make sense, take a lot of the sting out of the song…How many of these ‘No Friends in the Industry’ track remakes do we really need?
This dude has been artistically bankrupt for years now.”
Music reviews are not objective and they don’t have to be. They aren’t covering current events, politics, the economy or medical breakthroughs. Stop conflating editorial standards of wider journalistic practices with every medium that covers the arts.
