How to Celebrate Someone While Acknowledging The Flaws

This topic came up on Tumblr recently, and I've blogged about it *cough* a few times now: how can you celebrate the good parts of someone who is incredibly flawed? This is particularly problematic for a music blogger, as many entertainers -- good entertainers, geniuses you might say, have engaged in some pretty egregious shit throughout their careers Jay Smooth recently paid tribute to rapper Nate Dogg, who died unexpectedly last week. Nate Dogg was a talented hip-hop artist, who was, unfortunately, pretty freaking misogynistic. This video acknowledges all those things without taking away from his influence on the world of hip-hop.
