He was 28. Takeoff, the then-kid who convinced his uncle (Quavo) to start rapping then helped change the flow of rap. The undisputed best rapper in Migos (his uncle told me so himself just a few months ago). What a loss.

This is so unnecessarily condescending. And that’s the only thing I can say on here about this without cussing, because it’s actually pretty infuriating.

I fell in love with "Misery Business" as a teenager before I grasped how problematic the lyrics to the song are. I'm still in love with Paramore because I've been able to grow up (and away from sentiments like that) alongside them.

Flashback to a publicist wanting me to cover a Tory song in the midst of all of this. Said she’d grant me an interview with Tory but of course I couldn’t ask anything about the case. She referred to herself as a “feminist” and insisted no one cared about this case anymore.
Tory really taunted this woman publicly and privately. And he had help from so many artists, producers, executives, publicists. There was massive harm done here, on levels that we haven’t begun to unpack. Much of this year felt like we were hurtling past a breaking point.
