Grown ass nikkas getting their moral cues from a fukking opportunistic fraud
these are the kinds of instances where you can tell who was raised by double talking ass parents and who was not.... A lot of.these nikkas have embraced this kind of shallow moral grandstanding as it's the environment they were brought up around
I literally gave you a financial reason for why they should reduce the cursing in their music. Not even about morality.
They just throwing money in the trash when a clean version of the song would be embraced just as much or more.
Life cycle of a song is generally, charting for a few weeks. On the radio for few months, then gone. But the songs that last longer, usually get used in commercials and movie soundtracks long after they've disappeared from radio airwaves. And generally a super explicit song doesn't end up being used in a mcdonalds commercials, or the soundtrack for guardians of the galaxy. Just makes sense from business perspective, fukk the moral cue take. Sir Mix alot baby got back will be remembered far longer then most rappers with more hits than him, because it was a catchy record without a bunch of cursing. Same with Coolio Gangsters paradise. You make a hit record that isn't super explicit it gets remembered for far longer
