OK sure, I agree.  Fortunately the internet never forgets.  So we get to
cancel any artist retroactively if that artist uttered anything racist or
homophobic or adolescent or anything we now consider socially inappropriate.
That means we can cancel most rap and hip hop for being racist, sexist and
generally impolite, cool, it's a deal.

Aside: if you hear elevator music, much of it is Beatles tunes without the
words.  The Beatles really wrote some good music.  So, perhaps we can
elevator-ize rap by removing the vocals, ja?  I would be OK with that.
