Discussion of depression and mental illness has always been stigmatized in American society, and that extends to music as well. But as we’ve seen it become more accepted to discuss these kinds of topics, we’ve also seen musicians be way more open about it as well. While in the past they might have talked about it in their music, it didn’t really go any further than that. Nowadays though, there’s a lot of rappers who are very open about going through bouts of depression, and they talk about it with their fans and in interviews.
