we need to go step to Paramount, and fucking MGM, and all of these other motherfuckers that's making all of these movies and we need to go step to MTV and Viacom, and lets talk about all these fucking shows that they have on MTV that is promoting homosexuality, that my kids can't watch this shit. Dating shows that's showing two guys or two girls in mid afternoon. Let's talk about shit like that!Offering a rebuttal is Pimp C, member of Southern rap legends UGK.
It’s no gay-bashing with me. It’s just, be proud of what you are, instead of hidin’ in the closet. And if ya fuck boys in the ass, then don’t be tryna fuck with the girls, too, poisoning the pussy population wit’ ya shitty ol’ dirty-ass dick.Small steps...small steps.So Pimp C is not a gay-basher?
I’m not a gay-basher, because gay people buy my records. Why would I be offended by your sexual preference, unless I’m in the closet? If ya like boys, go get all the boys ya want. And whatever you did that you ashamed of, don’t do it no more.

well since i am here, for the purposes of full disclosure, there are three camps, the blatent gay-bashers, the ones who support gay equality and those who keep their mouth shut (either to not get a backlash for their homophobia or fear of being considered soft)
ReplyDeletebut i ask Jenn, who has been publicly supportive of equality and denounces gay bashing?
the only one i know is Kanye West which became it's own discussion when he said it
El-P has publicly stated he no longer will use the word "faggot" in his rhymes, and encourages the same discretion for the artists on Def Jux.
ReplyDeleteAfter several albums dotted with homophobic lyrics, Common did a song on "Electric Circus" about supporting a friend who revealed himself to be gay.
