I think this thread got a little derailed because some of ya'll think 15 is your cousin or some shit....some folks around here get very defensive of dude no matter what.

Had 15 not been named, this thread probably wouldn't have gone down like this.

But, if John Legend can speak out...why can't others? Be it 15 or Jay Z or whoever.


An uncomfortable question about "why do you still play his music" is NOTHING when you consider the context.

15 explained he didn't want to be a part of the positive/genius stuff, which cleared it up for me.

Looks like it cleared it up for Dream too.

But on the general topic of the industry looking the other way for so long? Yes, this absolutely deserves to be called out.

But most of us aren't going to get all defensive about the industry saying "what about the system!?!?" as a deflection.

People in the industry need to have more balls.
