His art, in my opinion, is the best thing I've heard in 20 years. He is authentic, speaks nothing but hard truths that no one else will, and is a lyrical genius to make all the red pills so digestible. That transcends all ages and taste in music.
His music is literally an awakeness test. It separates those who are good and awake, from those who are terrible and in denial of reality. The community that is forming around him could be instrumental to fighting back against humanity's enslavement.
If you cannot admit that the song I just linked you, is nothing but red pills from start to end, then you're being dishonest. I hope it's only due to personal bias, and not because you are an establishment shill who is actively trying to help the establishment.
Also, I did not "name call". I described the situation to the best of my ability. Just because leftists and other idiots use words like "bigot" as a fallacy to attack a person without reason, doesn't mean there are not completely valid usages of such a word in the English language. I suppose the meaning of words like "bigot" and "racist", have been lost already due to leftists calling everyone stupid shit.
I just read and watched Brainwashed, I like 99% of it. But the two songs prior to that were terrible. "Don't Look Down" is objectively a satanic music video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQRww_yhVpQ
"Withdrawals" has low-energy, poorly influential lyrics I wouldn't want my daughter or son to listen to.
But now I've had too much fun, it's over now // I loved what I hated // Deleted every number from my phone, I'm staying home // Really wish that I was drunk with all my friends // I'm gonna beat it or I won't and overdose // Really wish that I was high with all my friends
I'm glad that we can at least agree on Brainwashed. I hadn't seen those two yet, so I just watched the music videos for the first time. Maybe I can give you some perspective into how I see the others.
I'd rather my son or daughter listened to him than literally any other rapper or hip hop artist today. They would need to be old enough to understand the topic though, since while the message he delivers is a good one, it could come across as dark and confusing.
"Don't Look Down" is for sure the darkest one I've seen so far. Calling it "satanic" is a big stretch though. The theme of the music video is an honest representation of the message. I don't find the message relevant to me, but it's also not supposed to be, since it's a response people hating on him.
The way I see it, the tone is mostly a consequence of him being brutally honest, which is something that no other popular rappers do. He's not putting on some fake persona and hiding his emotions. He's responding to pressure from the hate and constant attacks he gets from the world, and the dark things he's gone through, and the delivery of his message is authentic.
I think "Withdrawals" was deliberately low energy, since going through withdrawals isn't a very high energy experience, and the tone reflects the heaviness of the topic.
The lyrics are telling a rather depressing story, that is the experience of going through withdrawals, which is not pretty. He's not trying to hype up the message, quite the opposite in fact. He's giving you an idea of what happens if you have too much fun. It comes to an end and leaves you in a very bad place. It's very honest, so it doesn't hide the feelings. He's trying to convey what a depressing experience it is, to deter kids from doing it, not make them want to put themselves in that position.
We'll just have to agree to disagree. I'm coming at this as someone who is part of that industry, so I get subjected to a lot of really shitty art unfortunately, and the music video for don't look down I would file under dark, demonic, etc. just like all the idiot puppets who bow to 360 music label contracts in exchange for temporary stardom.
TM is a professional polemicist so he should not get surprised or offended at people hating his art.. It would be like Ann Coulter writing a book trashing her haters. To me, Withdrawals is super cringe. It's like he was trying to write a Billie Eilish song. The fake tears and anger are comically bad.
But to each their own, esp. in terms of art so I'm not telling you what to listen to or anything, and if it brings you personal joy then that's great. Like a meat factory employee can tell you all day what's in a hot dog but you're still free to think with your tongue.
You judge an artist by their art.
If you can't handle a simple assertion without resorting to name calling and pearl clutching, that says more about you.
