How much money would it take for you to never listen to your favourite artist again? (lemmy.world)

This involves consciously making an effort to listen to a song, and does not include accidentally hearing it.

Backtracking leaves you in debt of the amount you would take

$0 apparently. I used to love Kanye. I could mostly excuse his bullshit because he was just clowning on the black community, and as a member, I could ignore it. But when he went "defcon" on the Jewish community, I kinda had to take a step back. Not necessarily because of what he was saying, but seeing him on Alex Jones in that mask with the net and the yoohoo, I realized how actually insane he was. I haven't actively listened to him in like 2 years, which sucks because say what you want about his mental state, the dude could make some good music.

Can't fault you for that honestly. Kanye's music has gone to shit now with his ever declining mental state due in part to his nitrous usage. Did you hear vultures 2? Complete shitshow; not to even mention the nazi shit

Honestly I haven't listened to anything past Donda. I love graduation and mbdtf, and Bound 2 and Moon still give me chills just for melodies. But I've still got Chance and Cudi so I'm good

Same, the last straw for me was the 'white lives matter' Yeezy fashion show.
