So he’s a white rapper whose number 1 hit from a decade ago opens with
Walk into the club like “whaddup, I got a big cock”
His second had a line that said he was “somewhere between Rocky (Balboa) and (Bill) Cosby”, shortly before the allegations of SA became widespread. Not quite MF DOOM in terms of lyrics.
Both hits were really popular with hot couch guys, dance clubs and frat bros.
So people kind of assumed he was either apolitical or worse yet, a chud.
But then he came out with a pro BLM song during the George Floyd protests, and more recently he called for a ceasefire last year before Bernie and AOC did.
his one big album also had a (cringey straight guy trying to be a good ally) song where he talked about how he was super pro-gay rights, so i assumed he was a lib but i never thought he was a chud
I remember doing the math like, “Yeah, I’m good at little league.”
A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant
For those that like the same sex had the characteristics
The right-wing conservatives think it’s a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man-made, rewiring of a pre-disposition
Playing God, aw nah, here we go
America the brave still fears what we don’t know
“God loves all his children” is somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five hundred years ago
I don’t know
If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me
Have you read the YouTube comments lately?
“Man, that’s gay” gets dropped on the daily
We’ve become so numb to what we’re sayin’
Our culture founded from oppression
Yet, we don’t have acceptance for 'em
Call each other removeds behind the keys of a message board
A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it
“Gay” is synonymous with the lesser
not exactly the first brick at stonewall but for a cishet dude in 2011 it’s pretty good
I kinda remember vaguely feeling like “hmm, this could be a genuine but goofy attempt at allyship or a cash grab” probably due to the fact that the opening bars of the song were him talking about himself, who isn’t gay. But I guess in retrospect it really wasn’t important and he does mean well.
