People did criticize rap for that stuff for a long time, but the loudest voices that did were more conservative/religious types. Modern critics don't want to align or associate their brand of criticism with that type of social critic.

I had tickets to their last show in Atlanta but I got sick and couldn’t go and I’m still bummed about it.

i am being deadass. i know it sounds crazy, but once you open your eyes & rlly listen to what they’re saying, you’ll never be able to listen to music the same again. Every song, are conversations between the artist and their “maker”, the “elite”, whoever put them up there

Yah but also indie artists ain’t getting 25 to life off lyrics so it’s not like there lyrics ain’t being called out but just the more evil shit ps also sometimes they do but it seems to be if the radio likes them or not I know a load of Aussie rappers got banned from radio stations cos of lyrics like that but us where getting played and love from the radio so it like everything else in mainstream music is fucked

Have you considered that you just haven't heard anyone talk about it because you barely listen to music news, like you said?

I want an example where the rapper didn't get any backlash. Obviously there is misogyny in rap but I've always seen it met with heavy criticism.

Literally none of those have anything to do with what you're suggesting. The people in #1,3,4 were accused of sexism/racism for comments made outside their music, not anything in their song lyrics. #2 is dailymail trash quoting obscure tweets. Some people call Shakira out for objectifying women because she is also a woman, but I don't see any widespread outrage, it's just sone cherrypicked tweets.

Hol up, are you really asking people to provide evidence for misogynistic lyrics in rap? Because if you are, you gonna have to take a good long look in the mirror and learn to be honest with yourself.
Unless, of course, your only exposure to rap is Lin-Manuel Miranda?

Rap is largely demonized BECAUSE of the misogyny but it is also considered the norm within the industry. It's not that people don't talk about it lol. They talk circles around the subject but what are they gonna do, publicly outrage? They'll do it again...and again...and again cus it's what they do, they don't give a damn, and it's been accepted within the industry. People who make different sorts of music may receive backlash but that's because you're deviating from the norm for that genre. It'll die down as it always does but it will continue be taboo unless people start to normalize it.

Is this something you actually believe, or are you just being facetious?

This reminds me of The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smack_My_Bitch_Up
Shit was on the radio, I remember hearing cars blasting it driving around.

Yea, I mean I berly listen to music news and this even rings true for me. Rap says some crazy shit and NOBODY talks about it at all.

Now google rap stars in trouble over lyrics and read the overwhelming amount of responses you will get. Quit glossing over reality to push some bs narrative bud. The last article isn't even about lyrics lol, it's about how Moby treated her personally.

Get real dude.
The reason you hear about one over the other is b/c of what you actively listen to. It's also important to note who each artist is targeting in their music. Hardcore rap is not going to be put under the microscope by their fans b/c they expect it, they don't care. Media will still go to great lengths to paint them in a negative light but the fan bases just don't give a shit. Same can't be said about these other people.
