SYRE is far more than just an introspective work, as the album openly explores current hot topics in the U.S.: Jaden addresses police brutality during his live shows, speaks to drug abuse on his hard-hitting track "Hope" and all the while has made it his mission to avoid a path of toxic masculinity and misogyny in the hip-hop world. “Everybody tries to rap the same and talk the same way and be misogynistic in the same way -- it's annoying,” Smith relates. "My mom taught me different values. And my sister teaches me different things every day. My sister and my girlfriend and my mom… all of these women in my life show me what it's like to be a woman and how much I don't understand, and how hard it can be sometimes… the misogyny in rap music right now, [is] degrading and it's hurtful and it's not pushing the art forward.”

Nah ? and fairy boys are holding it back.

the art has been pushed forward for nearly 40 years without Jaden's ? input. ? what this fragile ass cross dressing ? talkin' about.

Hip Hop's been around for 30+ years.
Its always been misogynistic since day 1.
In fact, life has been misogynistic since the biblical days. -

Question: misogyny literally means the HATRED of women, so why do these muthafuckas call it that when a lot the ? they consider misogynistic is ? that we LOVE about ? ............?
Hope yall caught what I did did there. Lol -
You know what makes me unhappy
When brothers make babies, and leave a young mother to be a pappy
And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we ? our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to ? for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies that make the babies
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head up -
This lil ? wear dresses. Can't take nothing he says seriously

I ? with some of Jaden's music but this ? is too true. You can't be a poster child for effeminization then addressing misogyny. That ? 's like a conflict of interest. He throwing ? under the bus twice. -

Lil homie got talent and I think can make some really good music in the future. Dude just needs musical guidance to help him along IMO. As for this, the way hip hop treats women has not been good, however it has never held the genre from moving forward bc our society shares alot of the same views on women. Women get paid less, are most likely to be disrespected by employees and seen as less than. Thats the truth about how women are viewed in society, is not right. That being said, Hip hop is a reflection of society, not vice versa. This is what alot of people that try to blame rap for societal issues seem to not understand. Hip hop was not stopping women from voting back in the day or making them be strictly housewifes. The bible and religion got more to do w how women are seen than rap imo.

That sounds like some ? he'd say so I'm not surprised.

Jaden is right

CHERRY-FACED CHUMP....

Bottom line, every man wants a girl with a pretty face, big ? , a fat ass and a flat stomach.
If that's being misogynistic so be it.

you can get a big butt and a smile anywhere, didn't you learn from BBD grandpa? -

I dont ? with the phrase "Toxic Masculinity." That's one of those new buzz phrases they try and throw around when they're pushing an agenda. Also so misogyny? has this dude seen Fresh Prince of Bel-air before?
