I listen to a lot of controversial rap so I'm desensitized to it and I feel like music can be taken with a grain of salt. But if people take offense, they take offense, I'm not gonna discredit those feelings but I'm personally definitely giving Em a pass (and a round of applause for the album in general)

Shame tho because this new album is FIRE!

I'm also a big fan soooo yeah

Fans don’t have to like, agree or defend everything that the person they like does though

I'm just desensitized to controversial lyrics in general. I'm just saying I could also be biased towards him as a big fan but I just don't think it's that big of a deal to make a shooting reference in a song. I see how people could think it's in poor taste ofc, people were and still are distraught from it, but I just take it as a lyric meant to gain attention, that "oooo **** they went there" factor in music that's particularly big in rap. It's not that I don't care about those people's feelings I just don't think it's an awful act from a singer/rapper.. like for example idc if a rapper even made a 9/11 reference and 1) that was a huge gross attack on America and 2) a relative of mine (somewhat distant tbf) died that day. I wouldn't support it like "nice lyric bro!" but I wouldn't take offense to that either. You could maybe say I'm just not offended much tho
