“…and then you blamed all of your actions on your zodiac sign.”
Not usually a fan of this genre of music, but I share your curiosity about the artist and what inspired this level of frustration. I read recently that “Just Like a Woman” by Bob Dylan is allegedly “misogynistic”. But compared to some hip hop, Dylan’s lyrics are nuanced and sensitive. However, this line (above) encapsulates the deflection of accountability that some people practice and which many men have encountered.
The fact that pop music is starting to have those discussions is clearly a sign that the work of people like Tom is starting to give fruits.
Thanks for the comment. I hope you are right.
Yes! Culture always gives the story if what’s going on in real life.
Like Tupac singing about not having a dad and Eminem hating his mother.
Great song. I've got three of Dax's songs on my favorites:
To Be a Man
A Real Man
Dear God

Nice share, Tom!
I’m not normally a fan of this genre either ….. it says so much and very eloquently and it touched me.
Well done Tom - it’s good to be invited to look at things from a different perspective
"Drawing on my weakness, look what you create
A masterpiece of everything you taught yourself to hate"
In just two lines, this is as good an explanation as any I've ever heard for what passes for masculinity in thug culture.
