Just wanna point out that:.- rioting is what happens when justice drags its feet. - America is a direct product of violent protest and the calculated destruction of property. - if you see justice as a treat conferred on model citizens, you support exclusionism, like fascists.

I miss Mac. That's really it. He looked out when no one was really checking for me for profiles and then made time to link just to shoot the shit as we got to know each other, all of this on top of making music that hit a specific emotional spot not every artist hits for me.

If you're a white person hearing about all these gratuitous arrests and sensing things are getting bad, I assure you shit has been this bad forever. The operative differences now are social media and a chain of command that doesn't bother faking grace.

Goldlink used a picture from the last day I ever saw Mac Miller, I think from his last photo shoot in life, to kick up some questionable shit over a year after the kid passed and can't respond, and I can't even wrap my head around the logic that would tell someone to do this.

People being furious at Ebro for telling Kodak Black "We take sexual assault seriously here" is proof there's a lack of guidance out here. People whose job is interviewing musicians are supposed to ask hard questions. But that wasn't a hard question. That was just accountability.
