I've heard people say 'I would never buy her albums again!', 'I would never watch his films', 'They should burn his books' Becuase they believe this, or did that..etc.


So my question is this..
If you found out that your favourite artist was racist, had killed someone, or had done something completely contradictory to your beliefs; would you continue to purchase their albums, see their movies, buy their books, etc...? Just curious.

after this thread, chico. i can no longer read any of your posts. sorry, its just a matter of principle.

And answer the question!! Or I'm gonna kil..ummm... Kiss you all over .

yes chico, i would carry on buying their albums...

for example, prince has his head up his ass constantly, the man is a dickhead in my opinion, but he still has the capacity to make great music...i only like his music...as for the man, he can go fuck himself

make sense?

Yes Ardeo. Sorry my wording was for shit. But I mean something bigger than "he's a dickhead", "she's a slut", or even because they have a different religion.

oK. What if he had; let's say... 'raped a woman' or 'intentionally hurt a child', more of a moral issue. Not sure if I'm making myself clear...too hot, can't think straight! :LOL:



Example: I have had several people tell me that they would never ever buy anything by Lauryn Hill and got rid of her cds they already had. Due to a comment she had made about 'not making music for white people'. I didn't hear or see the interview myself. Just want to make that clear.

in that case Chico...yes, i would still listen to their music...

BUT...i would scam it off Kazaa

...they aint gettin a penny from me if they 'raped a woman' or 'intentionally hurt a child'

Chico319 said:

since i can no longer view your posts, chico, i will just guess what you said and still deny any request of yours.

i'll take the kisses though.

(ok, i kinda peeked.)

I quit listening to Fishbone after they released two albums in a row with what I considered to be out-and-out homophobic lyrics. "Truth and Soul" used to be one of my favorite albums, but I haven't listened to it in years.

Ok I know I am opening a can of worms but what about R. Kelly??? I know inoocent until proven guilty but I have a 15 year old daughter and my skin crawls when I hear his songs on the radio because of what he is accused of. I only have one of his songs and that one is on the Space Jam soundtrack.

I'd sit them down with a cup of tea and say...

You did that on purpose!

what did fishbone release that was homophobic? keep in mind, i bought "give a monkey..." listened to it 3 times and havent bought anything since.

:FALLOFF: kinda peeked.. huh? Quit avoiding the question. What are you trying to hide?

to have respect for an artist is a great thing...



musically speaking...i have great respect for prince...he has incredible talent...but i would have to agree...his personality is off.



face it...he is strange


but that goes back to my original question...isn't someone with above average musical talent usually a bit 'off' upstairs ...i think that allows them to go other places mentally in order to make the music we all love





just my thoughts...tell me if you think i am 'off' upstairs :LOL:

Chico319 said:

Nonsense. A good swivel in the chair would do us all good.

do you really want someone to tell you if you are 'off' upstairs>

as for the question...I won't buy R. Kelly's stuff, I like his music, but the dude has some serious issues about power over women, and girls... If they are some rapist or something along that line, I am not going to buy anything, but I won't necessarily throw out what I have..ala "dixie chick bush bashing"
~don't even start..that was really bad...hehehehhe

Chico319 said:

What?

You know what! Answer the damn question...or else.

Chico319 said:

Or else what?

Depends on the situation ...
Some people said Lauryn Hill was a racist, but I still bought her stuff
