It's What You Entertain
Manage episode 299252566 series 2964484
This week the Vexed Intellects (with special guest Tonya Cole) discuss the continuing saga of rapper DaBaby as famed music festivals Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, & Music Midtown (among others) removed the Interscope Records recording artist from their lineups following controversial comments made during his performance at Rolling Loud Miami.
DaBaby has since apologized (twice) for the offensive comments, but continues to lose opportunities. As culture critics DJ Akademiks & Dr. Boyce Watkins question if the "morality" play by the festivals is hypocritical, artists like Elton John, Madonna, Questlove, & others chimed in to publicly chastise the rapper causing many people on the social media timeline(s) to ask if this is considered piling on at this point.
Is it virtue signaling? How "accountable" should we hold a young, admittedly uninformed artist? The Intellects unpack the many layers to this topic, plus...
Intimacy without commitment, paying for sex, reciprocating effort, "settling" in relationships, attracting the right partner, "boyfriend" d*ck vs "one-night stand" d*ck, & a follow-up to the "what do you bring to the table" conversation.
These topics & much, much, more on this episode of The Vexed Intellects!
