I have no idea who this person is. Pretty sad that they think he’s a good role model, though. Just because he became successful from his music doesn’t mean that others should emulate him. So sad.

Frankly, I never heard of him either.

Always interesting to have a discussion of cultural figures. It's one of the best ways for people to relate to each other.

Agreed. Had you heard of him before?

I can’t say that I had, maybe in passing. But from the context you and the participants gave, he strikes me as today’s version of Eminem. He was very controversial and had music that pushed boundaries at the time. He got a lot of pushback at the time.

However, today he’s pretty much standard in the industry. In fact, Republicans running for President have quoted Eminem or sung karaoke of him. That tells you something about where we are as a society.

Back in the 90s, Republicans hated Eminem and now they love him. Maybe the same will happen with Bad Bunny?
