I realize some will say this belongs on the Politics Board, but I think the topic is cancel culture so I put it here.

A co-worker brought this to my attention. On 1/6/21, "The Patriot", a song by 2 military veterans (group name Topher), charted at #3 on Hip Hop, #4 on R&B/Hip Hop, and #36 on all digital songs. Two weeks later it was removed from all streaming services without explanation.

It amazes me what is accepted in rap songs, yet this patriotic songs gets whacked from being streamed.

YouTube

Here are the lyrics of the 2 verses (omitting the chorus):

Tens of thousands on my right, thousands by my side
War between good and evil, watching our fists collide
Battle for our freedom now, to the streets we ride
Flags waving all around, patriots full of pride

This is where we make a stand, no more give or take
March around the capitol, storm the city gates
Putting pressure on their necks until the truth breaks

All walls of corruption, take out all the snakes

"Star Spangled Banner", got it playing loud and proud
People from all walks of life filling up the crowd
Defend the constitution, many warriors have vowed
Casting down any among us who have bucked and cowed

Enough with tyranny, we come to take our country back
For all citizens, white, red, brown, or black
Return her to her former glory, fix the bloody crack
On her crown, fetch your gown
It's going down



My mama told me, yeah she warned me that this day would come
I'm like my father, go to combat with the blazing guns
I survived that then I came back to the place I'm from
To face off all these haters and to battle in the place I love

You can't break me down, I'm indivisible
You'd still see my wraps, If I was invisible
But I'm standing tall, and I spit the truth
So you all appalled, 'cause you know it's true

They call it freedom cause the fallen troops paid for this
I love this country doesn't matter how much hate I get
I take my colors into battle ain't no wavering
'Cause this is for my warriors who marching to them cadences

This is for the sisters working hard on the shift
This is for the brothers getting y'all doctorate
Fathers, yeah, taking y'all ownership
Baby tell me why it's hard for The Patriot

Which one of the lines, if not all, highlighted in bold do you think got them cancelled?

While I’m against censorship, that is a very cringy song and the “artists” who made it are complete tools.


So are the majority of "rap artists" out there, yet their shite doesn't get disappeared.

Sorry you lack patriotism.


And it appears you lack a set of testicles also.

I’ve seen that dude post before, he most certainly seems like the type to censor those he doesn’t agree with.
