Maybe I’m misunderstanding these parts:

There's something funny about dudes who present themselves as hard, tough, and "from the streets" being exposed for something like this

But Meek's persona clashes with the things he's been accused of doing.

Because, in a nutshell, those are the main types of rappers who promote homophobia in the game.

See this is why it’s not worth it to explain s***

Lmao

Niggas look at an explanation as if u justifying it

Cause being gay is worse than being a a (hetero)sexual predator to a significant portion of black people.

Now if that nigga a gay sexual predator then it’s f***ing over

The explanation was it’s because he’s a street rapper

Because Meek is an annoying little prick with a huge ego

Akademiks too, that fat f*** needs to lose weight and get off the alcohol.

Both of them are made for each other

And unfortunately Homophobia is still prevalent in Hip Hop

Yea makes sense to me

That’s fine. It doesn’t to me though which is why I asked for further explanation

It goes beyond rap culture though.

If Trump had a rumor about sleeping with Mike Pence, the same liberals who claim to support the LGBTQ community will be making all sorts of jokes about it.

Again, I'm not justifying it. I said that at the end. I'm explaining the psychology behind it.

Tyler and Frank embraced their sexuality and said f*** it. Meek and many other street rappers are the main people who promote homophobia in hip hop so them getting exposed is treated differently.

Edit: I should clarify that Tyler promoted homophobia too but he still wounded up embracing it and not shying away from it.

because meek's hypermasculinity makes it so obvious that the rumors are true

They aren’t lol that lawsuit is some fake s***.

Y’all gotta stop with this “if the hyper masculine they hiding something “

Nah some niggas just homophobic

Meek the WorldofTshirts of hip hop lol

alright bro

street rappers are held to different standards of what is considered acceptable and masculine enough is what he’s trying to say which is true

Tyler the creator type rappers are gonna get less criticism for expressing emotions or coming out or even doing things not typically associated with street life or anything “hypermasculine”

Whereas street rappers are expected to be cold all the time, will get clowned more for appearing “soft” or eccentric,
doing things that look “white”

he’s not condoning it

Goofy ass nigga

Hip hop community? You mean social media? They literally do this with every celeb when allegations of any type are out there.

It’s not hard to understand, posters just feel obligated to use situations like these to show off how virtuous they are. Anybody with a brain already knows what it is with the hip hop community and black community by further extent. This topic doesn’t need to keep getting discussed

i just think being homophobic is lame and you in particular are also quite lame

You ironically blowing the situation up more with pointless threads on the topic tbh

one 3 page thread on a dead hip hop forum isn't doing s*** my man

I said that 100x in that thread bro...

Keep me out of this

I understand that’s what is being said and can agree that it is how people think but I still find it to be an ignorant way of viewing things.

We even had a whole era of Young Thug pretending to be gay as a street rapper. I thought things were improving

but if you talking about “why are ppl discussing it”

you part of the problem

I think it’s cause there’s different scenes within hip hop. It’s why Veeze can say the F word in a song and nobody bats an eye but then you got your TDE fans who accepted Isaiah Rashad.

Can you give me a run down on everything that's happening with Meek?

Been busy and checked out this last week
