WUWTM 19: The Role of a Rapper ... , Schrodinger's White Fan , Separating the Art from The Artist

THIS TIME : The Minute Crew get existential !! After relistening to Billy Woods' verse on Dogeared, KOSEY is questioning the role of rap in times like these. What purpose does rap serve? I Rap therefore I am ?? After that, TREDOES asks why it is that as soon as a rapper gets a lil bit weird with it, the white fanbase accusations come chasin !! Black artists making art being labelled as music for white folk really is kinda strange, and we aim to get to the bottom of it. Finally, MEGA, per viewer request, inquires whether separating the art from the artist is possible or even necessary. Should you stop listening to someone's music as soon as they post a tweet that sucks ? or Should we ignore every awful thing done by the people we might support ? There's a nuanced middle ground to be found on this episode of ... WHAT'S UP W THE MINUTES ?!?!!?
