I've BEEN saying this nigga is gimmicky. Been saying only real music gonna last.

People thought I was being homophodick.

hip-hop culture is homophobic. im not saying its inherently homophobic bc that makes it sound like its a core component of what hip hop is abt, like if it wasn't homophobic it wouldn't rlly be hip hop. no, I think hip hop can totally exist without homophobia, nothing inherently ties them together.

BUT hip hop in general, today, is broadly homophobic. homophobia is the norm, homophobia is assumed. I don't have the power to give u a study on this or a perfect a***ysis of every hip hop personality in the world, so yeah the best I can rlly do is anecdotal stuff and looking at specific examples, but I promise u im not making s*** up, hip hop generally doesn't like gay ppl.

and "I don't care abt gay ppl" is textbook toleration over understanding, like I was saying. ppl who don't care abt gay ppl usually still don't actually accept or understand them, they just tolerate them bc thats what they are told is right. and don't get me wrong thats wayyyy better than intolerance, but it is still just one step away from blatant homophobia. think of it as quiet homophobia.

actually, that works rlly well. to a lot of these ppl, there is some agreement along the lines of "you be quietly gay and ill be quietly homophobic" and past a certain point the contract is voided and blatant homophobia is totally fair game. that contract is terrible though, that's the issue. it doesn't solve anything it just pushes the homophobia deeper down. not to mention the terms only seem fair from a homophobe's perspective. to a gay person, being gay is who they are, they can't change it. they are being told "don't be urself too much or else". those aren't fair terms, its just bullying. but its absurdly hard to talk to ppl abt this because they will almost always say "I don't hate gay ppl I could care less about them as long as they stay out of my business"

I have a question for u. how could someone be too loudly gay? like what could they do to justify open homophobia?

Nah bro everyone loved thug n never said a bad thing about him he been a million plus selling artist since 2012 & God's chosen one what you talking bout?

Nigga said homophodick

like its a pho restaurant filled with gay strippers

does he even consider himself a hip hop artist?

Funny thing is i had a nigga back in HS (class of 2014) who was a huge n eaely thug fan n he used to get clowned from hell n back💀

if he pandered to children he'd literally have nothing to talk about

going the lgbt icon route was the best move artistically and commercially

Sad he was forced to come out tbh & seemingly "had" to completely own it to raise above the backlash

S*** must suck really bad on a personal level and who knows if he was even prepared himself to come to terms with it like that

i remember being one of the few people at my school that was big on thug (class of 2015) never got clowned for it but niggas definitely thought he was on some weird s***

100 lmfao

honestly some god tier pr s***

but its wild to think that his coming out when he came out was basically forced. go to think if the connection was never made, would he have just kept his sexuality private? Is being so aggressively gay now just the best available step for his career after coming out, not what he had planned?

dude basically made a deal, come out publicly on someone else's terms, but u get to keep ur career

Ban

I dont know why you thought this was the move

Nah bro 2010s was the most progressive era according to this thread dont u know

lmao tf u talking about

oh definitely

that s*** is super manufactured

I wonder how much is him and how much is his team...

considering he's a marketing genius tho I feel like he's probably got the final say on stuff still

Topofdamorninings never forget

u think I dont believe kdot dropping aoty??

twas simply a joke my friend

Yo you’re being extra as f*** bruh lmao my main point was that Thug and Tekashis backlash wasn’t as intense as LNX’s is right now.

Nigga put on a dress and still got them street collabs.

Tekashi fondled a 13 year old and still had songs with huge names in the industry.

Both these niggas have (or maybe had in Tekashi case) a larger rap fan base than LNX.

From now on T opofdamorningings watching u bro from night to morn 👁

Anytime niggas start debating and disagreeing niggas get wild sassy in here like bruh

lesgettishit

LNX is not a rapper and barely raps, of course the others would have a bigger rap fanbase

Lil Nas X still bigger overall

My point was controversy n ridiculing existed before Nas X happened

Yall went od extra with all the reaching n twisting you did but i digress
