Unfortunately, popularity isn't related to quality, so there are many talentless rappers that make it. He shot his shot

Before I clicked the video, I was very much hoping that he was going to be dropping into a bowl or half pipe

I don’t think anyone here is saying that. It’s not about him being a “loser,” it’s about him getting lost.
Getting lost can happen to anyone, though I’m sure that early trauma and subsequent disconnection from oneself is a risk factor.
Jereme Rogers was a serious skateboarder. He is not a serious hip-hop artist. His cos-playing as a rapper is both laughable and sad. His skating was a tangible contribution to the culture of skateboarding, while his rapping is not much of a contribution to hip-hop culture. It would be different if he had decided to do music as a hobby, yet it was delusional to think that he could become a professional hip-hop artist, overnight, simply by deciding to be one.
True artistry doesn’t happen overnight, as in the case of Kendrick Lamar who put in the work to earn his crown
Kendrick Lamar was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his album, To Pimp a Butterfly - a first in hip-hop history, to my knowledge. I don’t think Jereme Rogers will be getting the Pulitzer Prize anytime soon. His music strikes me as the equivalent of contemporary visual art where people can do anything, regardless of depth, skill, or talent, and still refer to themselves as artists.

Someone needs to tell Shaq that when all the people in the mosh pit (except for him) get sent to the ICU, he has gone too far!I love mosh pits. but that would terrify me. He would be squashing people. It wouldn't be a mosh pit, but just him stomping on bugs.

Since we are disconnected from ourselves it makes one wonder what qualifies as the early trauma.
He doesn't delimit the beauty of it. He just says it's the first trauma, moving through a tight, constricting, suffocating opening, surrounded by blood, amniotic fluid, feces, and urine, from a zone of darkness and warmth to a one of brightness and cold.

i think that choosing to highlight and constantly put focus on certain sets of people based on race, sex, sexual orientation, iq, etc. (whether to promote/elevate or demean) is a practice we should all engage less in. you cannot police everyone's inherent script regarding groups of people. this is silly and the vast majority of the time fruitless, if not even off putting and having the opposite effect that you are hoping for. most people are sick of being finger-wagged. especially for things that they had no personal involvement in themselves.
i find that many times when an individual that talks ab themselves as part of a group (woman, african american, white, homosexual, whatever) it just rings disengenuous and often feels attention seeking and an effort to gain some moral or general superiority based on said characteristic. why get in the weeds on individual characteristics? in my opinion they DO NOT MATTER. i don't think there are many out there that see (i'll just use your example) a woman who's interests lean more to leadership rather than homemaking or whatever, and think "this woman has it wrong and isn't living her life the right way". most simply see that and think "---n-o-t-h-i-n-g---"... nobody cares.
i would think that when asking nearly anyone something like "what are the characteristics of a leader?" the most common answer would be "the ability to lead". and i would expect very few answers highlighting individual physical characteristics like man, black, straight, and so on.
the overwhelming majority of people simply want to live their lives freely and happily without judgement and i truly think that they want the same for everyone else. not saying there aren't some who don't want this but i expect they're the vast minority and would also expect there are VERY few in the psychedelics community. and the very few that are, are doing psychedelics wrong. in my experience one of the first things learned through psychedelics use was how little our differences matter and how pointless the judgement of others based on anything other than what they SHOW you on an individual basis is.

The mere act of putting out one’s attempts at music does not entitle someone to respect, acceptance, or appreciation, as an artist. Also, this has nothing to do with Jeremy Rogers’ ethnic background. There are many white rappers out there who absolutely crush it. One in particular who comes to mind is Deca. Contrast this song and video with whatever you want to call what Jereme Rogers puts out…

As I've been saying a lot lately, it gets real.
And we learn to respect
, accept
, and appreciate
THIS UNIVERSE
and everyone that's part of it
This is the natural law of emotional mind, physical body, and spirit
which we try our best to deny

Respecting, accepting, and appreciating someone as a human being, and as an artist, are two different things, in my view.
Just because everyone and everything is equally an emanation (Shakti) of the source (Shiva), does not mean that everyone’s contribution as an artist, or otherwise, is equal in terms of its quality, value, or substance.
If someone puts out something that is clearly of extremely low quality, I don’t see anything wrong with describing it as such.
From my perspective, any notions of universal oneness need to be balanced with a healthy discernment that recognizes difference, nuance, and multiplicity. Just like I wouldn’t choose to eat “junk food,” I wouldn’t choose to listen to music that I perceive to be little more than audio garbage. Just because a McDonald’s hamburger and a home cooked meal are ultimately one, doesn’t negate the difference and distinction between them.
As Deca raps in this song -
“Back to work, separating grassroots from astroturf”

It matters to people who historically have been marginalized based on these characteristics.
You seem to be only paying attention to what is explicit and not what is implicit, such as implicit racial bias, that most people have.

I might be tripping, but then again this feels much better:
While identity should not define a person’s worth, it undeniably influences individual and societal experiences. Recognizing this isn’t about creating division, but rather about fostering fairness, understanding, and equal opportunity.
Kind regards,
The Traveler
