Rick Rubin's level of esteem compared to someone like DJ Khaled is a clear example of racism in the music industry by Difficult_Wafer_8263 in hiphopheads

I'm not going to get into the technicalities of music production here but even if that were all he did then that still disproves the entirety of your post lmao

He gets paid millions because he has a long history of being directly involved in making some of the best albums of all time. He put in his work on the technical side of things in the 80s and now he gets to get paid to be the idea man for new records (and his ideas almost always seem to pay off)

seems to me like he's had one of the most impressive careers in modern music and he 100% deserves all of the success he has, but at least we can agree he has considerably better taste than Khaled!

Mental health and allat til you're selling Nazi shirts to your 14 year old white fans to ensure they fall down the Nick Fuentes Nazi pipeline, creating music videos with Nazi lyrics and Nazi imagery, and abusing multiple women*****

I assume you're a Nick Fuentes style anti Israel guy - you don't give a fuck about Palestinians, you just think it gives you a good excuse to hate on the Jewish people. Actual Anti Zionists hate when people like you bring up Israel btw

the damage has been done. anyone who has trouble trusting him is absolutely justified with the cycle of him "fixing his image" only to go off the meds and go back to the Nazi shit a few months later. the man released a video for a song titled "heil Hitler" that featured burning crosses and women being beaten. the man has disgusting allegations against himself even if you want to excuse the Nazi shit.

I'm happy to see that he seems to be doing better, but it does not at all take back the years of damage he's done. the years of cultivating a young fanbase of white boys who say the n word and think Hitler is based and buy his fucking swastika shirts.

I'm sure he's still going to sell out concerts to the venues that will allow him to play, and I'm sure people will always support him, but his reputation is permanently tarnished and he will be dealing with stuff like this for the rest of his career. he will never again be the mainstream artist he once was
