>attempted murder is NOT rape.
no, its not. some would argue its worse. you're attempting to take a life. if you had been successful, thats it. theres no coming back from that.
i dont really have an opinion - they're both unimaginably awful - i dont see the point in arguing about which is "worse" - just playing devils advocate.
but if you're willing to write someone off for rape, you should be willing to do the same for attempted murder IMO

>Plus, it was actually understandable why Slick would be driven to that.
so heinous crimes are cool as long as you understand their motivation?

>Michael Jackson never....molested anyone
debatable

>If you've seen me bashing Maxxx over the years, you'd know i HATE Rapist Kelly.
fair enough

my point is just that its a slippery slope. if you want to disavow an artist for their actions, cool. if you don't want to support them in the future, i get it. But for me, even if Gibbs is convicted of rape, sure, that would make him a piece of shit. But its not gonna stop me from bobbing my head to his tracks when they come up on shuffle.
