      You should maybe refrain from citing the ADL and similar lobbying/pressure groups as relevant entities in your videos. They are by definition politically motivated and thus would muddle your research.

      Yeah, but I saw the Billy Squier video when it first came out and was confused. Like wtf?! It was such a disconnect from the song. I was never a huge fan but I felt sorry for him. Regardless of who was responsible for that fiasco, it absolutely tanked his career.

      He never had a very strong brand. Not much for an identifyable image either.
      Try to think of how you would dress up like BoB for Halloween. Even if you do your best, how many people do you think would get it?
      Before the flat earth shit, what did BoB represent?
      Someone like the weeknd for example, represents a playboy lifestyle & a bit of a nilisitic worldview. 50 cent represents resilience & ambition (many rappers do, but 50 really embodies those things). Lil Wayne (2008 & up) represents fun & carefree plain and simple, but in a way that can be identified with by the people who dont identify with Katy Perry for example.
      Try to make this same type of analysis for BoB. It won't be nearly as straightforward, & anything you do come up with will probably be easy to find contradictions for.

    Both Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake could go on here too. Katy Perry already had a decline with her WITNESS era, but Swish Swish was really the song that did her in. It seemed like her most desperate attempt to stay relevant, but the video focused on all the worst elements of her as an artist. And then Justin Timberlake, releasing Filthy as the lead single of the Man Of The Woods era poisoned that whole project before it even came out.

      ​​@@dairebeare7839 Even though a Rapper can have a little lead way in what he or she is saying and even that has its limits.. Rick Ross had time to rethink that line and even had a chance to erase it.. Still had a chance to call the studio and tell them he wanted to rerecord the verse. He thought that line was good. Even I would have looked at him and told him. *"Yo Rick, You think that line is a good idea to use?"* Somebody had to speak up but no one didn't..

    It is so tragic what happened to B.o.B. He had everything on a platter. I remember because I would bump his music crazy. I even bought his album on CD when it came out. He got a feature with Eminem, and other well-known artists. But when you start saying nonsense and it’s not about music anymore. People lose touch.

    BOB is one of the biggest fumbles ever. After he dropped Nothing On You, he was ON FIRE. Quadruple threat.. hitmaker, musician, lyricist, with the right backing and cosigns. SMH! By the time he dropped flatline he had already fallen off though, sadly. The Only person I’ve seen fumble harder is Charles Hamilton. Bro had the internet cheat code, until shorty snuffed him and then he had his mental health issues 😢

    Billy Squire did something that was rare/unheard of in the days of rock , he wasn't ashamed to brace the "unmacho" side (I dunno what its called today) but he was doing what many would called "gay embracing" . which back then, the whole gay lifestyle was deemed un masculine and sick. Nowadays, if someone in any field of music did what he did- no one would bat an eye, look at Harry Styles . Hell even queen's "I want to break free" was banned in some parts of America (even MTV) because of dudes in drags. The world was weird back then.

    I know this was released two months ago but I JUST remembered that an indie artist named Penelope Scott fits the bill for this as well.
    She was doing petty well with her songs like Rät and True Crime up until she released "Self Care", a borderline unlistenable song about how over-saturated and expensive the "self care" community is. It was purposely made to be audibly overwhelming due to the message but there's the problem: if the song is genuinely bad, no one gives a shit about the message. It even leaked into the mainstream where a lot of people clowned on her for a longwhile. I haven't heard anything about her since and none of her songs have gotten popular afterwards.
