Okay, we can’t just act like Eminem is the only rapper to be homophobic
Not a huge Eminem fan so I might be wrong but afaik he’s got some homophobic lyrics but he’s not actually homophobic. At least I remember Elton John defending him and calling him a friend and telling a story about Eminem buying cock rings for him and his husband or something.
The way I understood it, it was more a diss to all other rappers in the sense that Eminem is the only one who can still make it sound good, even though it is homophobic and therefore wrong.
just think of how many words rhyme with gay
Day
Pay
Hella gay
Stay
Really gay
Gay
Also gayyyyy
I was popular in college because I was good at coming up with parody lyrics for songs on the spot. The thing I didn’t tell people is that the “parody” lyrics were just the first thing my brain came up with before it actually processed the words enough to figure out the real lyrics.
Most of mine are monkeys paw super powers. Like, im hyper mobile, but in constant pain. I cant see depth, but im really good at marksmanship and not afraid of heights (things just get smaller further away). I have asthma but can hold my breath a decently long time.
Depends how far back you go in rap history. In the 90s and earlier, even otherwise thoughtful rap often snuck in a dig at the gays, and openly gay rappers could only work in house music.
You don’t even need to go back, homophobia is still alive and well in rap culture
genuinely how did we as a culture let J Cole get away with Grippy
I don’t see a trace of homophobia, but still a beautiful cat
Elton John says eminem isn’t homophobic at all. His lyrics though…
