I'm tired of pretending people are good just because

they recently died.

I liked a few songs this guy had in the early 00s when he was at his peak, but knew nothing about the guy. With his passing, I started to read up and.....wow. Like, WOW. I had absolutely no idea how extensive his rap sheet was.

This was a TERRIBLE "man". He had at least 15 counts of animal abuse against him. FIFTEEN, for fuck's sake. This is not a "mistake" or a random isolated incident, this is a pattern. This man was a serial animal abuser. That alone puts him in pretty bad standing. Hurting animals, kids, rape, these are some of the worst things a person can do - because it involves hurting an innocent party.

And this isn't even taking into account the fact that he failed to pay child support, failed to pay taxes, assaulted people, had multiple weapons and drug charges.

Jesus H. Christ, Lori Loughlin got more heat than this guy. The news won't dare cover his criminal record. You'll get trashed if you say something negative about him in some comments section in a story about his death. Our society has fucking out of whack.

The dog incidents werent really about Animal abuse, probably the government trying to get his doug. He was negligent but not abusive. If you think about it, it was good he had so many pets because they were alive and generally kept at good conditions. In other circumstances they'd be in a shelter dead or killed outside. So he generally did a good service for them.

Are you drunk right now?

A few of his songs might have been good but he died because he had a long history with drugs. If he was able to get sober and stay healthy no one would be talking about him today.

Most celebrities are disgusting people behind closed doors, Prince Philip included.

DMX had some great albums but he like most top-knotch "rockstars" he did some lowdown stuff. David Bowie was the same way but I don't remember anyone bringing up his rap sheet.
