To be fair, boycott is not the same as cancel. Choosing not to use a product versus destroying an individual’s life. Kaep was cancel, the others boycott. At least that’s my view. I don’t engage in either, but I see a big difference.

Some pop and country singers who attempt to lead the singing of our National Anthem should do the same.I don’t disrespect the national anthem with my singing.
or vice versa the samples that are used it takes some skill, historical musical knowledge to find that right beat/cut put it on a loop an rap to it amongst other production tools
That Beasties documentary and how Paul's Boutique was made was pure genius by the Dust Brothers
this would be a great thread on its own original song sampled and song used in
How's this for a deep cut sample: 1:03 mark
Used in
We can do the same thing with Disco. Its hated but no denying its influence.
At first I couldn't make out your emoji on my I phone. I thought what was step doing throwing down a pancreas emoji .

Agreed. Why destroy one life when you can destroy many, including some that have done nothing "wrong." Efficiency in petty judgement and hatred is an important distinguishing factor.
I don’t know about all that but this album is a national treasure

After establishing itself with a brilliant debut, Cypress Hill broke through to the masses with its sophomore album. Black Sunday retains all the distinctive qualities of its predecessor, but this time the atmosphere is mellower, and the hooks are catchier. The tone is set by “I Wanna Get High,”...

If your primary critique is the vulgarity, there's plenty of hip hop that isn't vulgar, or you can actually find meaning in the vulgarity (it more accurately reflects the rawness of an emotion). So why throw out the baby with the bathwater?
I’m going out on a limb here and speculating that you don’t like bluegrass or country music.
Which is why you’ve never seen a T Rex in a rap band.
I don’t think product boycotts “destroy” many lives. Even if a company have layoffs as a result, those people aren’t unemployable going forward like happens with cancelling.
So in your view the worker bees are better off to handle layoffs then executives making millions....great take and well thought out. Fear porn over "woke" and "cancel" is idiotic to begin with. Two people get cancelled...one for forcing women to sleep with him in order to gain employment, the other kneeling for a peaceful protest? Both are rich, which one was excessive?

As you are with everything in your life, you're wrong. The limb you were on just crashed to the ground, with you on it.
Yeah, it's so easy for low to mid-level employees at various large companies to just find a comparable job, without a substantial shock to their living standards ... it's why folks celebrate getting laid off ... it's just a new opportunity for them.
Compare to the well-off singular individual getting "cancelled" ... THAT is tragic.
But that middle-class, or lower-middle-class mom or dad who has to go home to their family and tell them they no longer have a job because some nutter decided he didn't like rainbow clothing he wasn't ever going to buy anyway ... forget them ... they're good. No worries.
It doesn't matter that mom or dad had absolutely nothing to do with whatever decision the snowflakes got upset about now, while the cancelled person chose the actions that got them into trouble, either. We don't care about that.
