Say for instance an artist raps about depression or anxiety or homophobia etc etc, it doesn't necessarily mean that the artist in question is specifically going through that. They're just delivering a message.

That's why with artists you can't always rate their music based on their personal lives. It's not fair for the art.
Do you think it's fair to glean anything about the artist as a person from their music? Plus do you actually have an example of a rapper with homophobic content who isn't homophobic?
