Country artist Morgan Wallen was suspended indefinitely by his record label due to TMZ recording him using the N-word in a story that circulated on Feb. 2. It happened just as many tracks from Wallen’s “Dangerous: The Double Album” released on Jan. 8 were just making their way to radio.
Now, Wallen’s outburst is beginning to rehash a critical discussion about whether consumers can separate the art from the artist.
The General Album Theme
Wallen’s 30-track double album is contemplative and purposefully downbeat. In it, he navigates fame. When the album debuted, it hit number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and stayed there for the past three weeks.
