I honestly have never understood Skull hate? The dreads are cringe but stony skunk/skull has always made an effort to mke decent reggae and connect with Jamaican artists and recognise the roots of Reggae. I appreciate people who do that with my culture and I love seeing others connect with rastafarianism/jamaican culture.
Used to be into his music myself (still really like Trash), but besides all that you mentioned I'm really not comfortable with how he sexualizes and objectifies women in his videos (like in Oh Baby). I find it a bit sus that in his older videos with Korean girls he had them portrayed as innocent romances but in videos with non-Asian poc he has them dancing sexually in very little clothing.
He's seemed to realize with the hate Oh Baby got that it wasn't a good idea, so has changed back to Koreans since then but these women are still very objectified and just background decorations so I'm not a big fan.
