are we like kind of putting a damn on like some ability of our own creativity
and stuff
art is like man that's the one thing man putting putting art in a box is like
you're keeping yourself from so many experiences um that could happen you know
yeah it's always
about being like opening yourself up a little bit and you know it's all about
just being a nice
good person being kind having empathy and create but create you know do things
responsibly it's
not that hard you can fuck up also you can fuck up and fucking fix it and say a
fuck yeah you can
you can fuck up i mean look at people always talk about um xxxentation i
brought him up a lot in
this conversation i don't know if you know his music that well but he had a
terrible he's a rapper
that um yeah i know just of his death and he had a terrible uh history with
women and violence and
women and um a lot of people you know wrote him off for that and um and i feel
them they if they want
to they can't have the right to do that but he affects a lot of people's lives
where they just
his music really touched people in a way that rap hasn't done that in a long
time people like have
records that had this like kurt cobain feeling which is really in raw and
people affected that
way like little people the same thing and i think it's okay for him to work at
himself and be better
and i think the music like i said music's about a feeling music is something
that doesn't have to
have history sometimes right a lot of people die i mean you can also define
like michael jackson
take him off the radio some people say like that i mean do what you want i'm
not going to take
michael jackson off my my itunes i'm not going to stop playing his records if
you don't give people
the ability to like recognize or learn yeah or evolve or anything that's almost
such a king not
everybody should be defined by their history look a good example is like malcolm
x you know um if you
had wrote him off like you know beating women and going to prison and doing
things and went to prison
change his life and became a great leader and an amazing you know philosopher
in a way um so people
have lots of offer you know i think you need to define like what is it that's
not right and let
them know that and like let them change and um hopefully that makes it better
for other people
yeah because cancel culture it's easy to take down celebrities but you're not
taking down the guy next
to you at a bus whatever that's actually doing damage or like verbally abusing
or a woman that's
you know right so we have to we have to find the ways to change those things
like where it's where
it's normalized for people in everyday culture like in a frat or whatever it is
that's going to be the
ones to change the world not to not just like yeah somebody gotcha moment on a
on a twitter or
something but yeah yeah i agree man it's it's definitely disheartening to see
like some of that
some of that culture you know uh but yeah but but to take it into our regular
lives you know
and to recognize okay well first of all what are my own behaviors that i could
be you know like
even going back to the black lives matter movement and and just seeing a lot of
that go on you know
like um it just made me think like okay well what let me really ask myself you
know if i if i'm
talking to a black person do i have different things in the back of my head
yeah while i'm talking
with them you know or if i'm if i'm with one of my black friends and my behave
you know like
just little things which some of it's okay some of it's just nature and it's
going to be
but just make sure just to check myself to see what's going on you know and and
we have to we
have to allow spaces where people can do good afternoon and other times thanks

could be way better
