I don't know what makes you think Biggie was some kind of clean cut do-gooder

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He wasn’t, but having boundaries and being a do-gooder are not the same thing. Some types of criminals need to be kept in isolation to protect them from other criminals.

If you click the line, there's a video interview with the guy that line is about. Apparently, that line caused a rift between him and Biggie. Wonder why?

Yeah, maybe I'm taking an overly kind view of Mr. Notorious, but I just don't see him being down with current Diddy's shit. I accept I might be wrong, but it felt like a funny take.

Rappers, politicians, and religious leaders are all humans. Humans are scummy monsters for the most part. Biggie was a talented artist, don't get me wrong but he also rapped about beating and robbing a pregnant woman. Perhaps it was all a dream, but how many people refused to believed p Diddy was into that shit either.

Oh is this what we're doing? Pretending like dead rappers were saints?

We're pretending that a serial pedo, self-proclaimed rapist, career fraudster, and all-around fuckclown is eligible for presidency, so why are you so fucking surprised?

Kanye still gets features and collaborators despite his Nazi turn. All the major rappers associated with him chose silence over condemnation. Biggie would most likely make the same choice with Diddy
