Everybody is praising them for being so socially conscious, deep etc... But how come Macklemore was the only one with the balls to tackle gay issues, when they run rampant in the black communities. Shouldn't our street poets who are oh so great, make that a topic too?

sssssssss
Hey Malc'!
watchin ur vids rite now
hopefully they will
but i do appreciate them for the things they do stand for
I think that is the final reason I cannot get in. Everybody all about how they are so REAL and true, and have BARS and what not...
But why are they hopscotching about this issue. Then i could truly use.

I don't think its something that's personal to them
Maybe in future they'll touch on issue

i dont want them to do it just to get a pat on the back. if it isn't something they truly feel or understand just yet, then thats fine. As long they dont start gay
bashing (in ANY way) then its whatever for now
are they really even "conscious" rappers tho? :dead:
they both have their share of sexist anti-woman bullshit in their music
their silence on tha issue offends me tbqh

I think for them the black issue comes first, because that's what they've experienced
No one has ever lauded them the most socially conscious or inclusive, but they do touch on issues that effect the community that they come from

there may be inconsistencies every now n then in their music, but neither of them have claimed to be Ghandi
Btw I feel like Macklemore are opportunist
Their whole pro gay thing came out when the whole thing about gay marriage was at its peak :dead:
People praise these two like the next coming of Gandhi.
Street preacher! Real issues! Thought-provoking!
I think J Cole has addressed it in a song or video
cant remember it off the top of my head though
I jus dnt see how hard it is to slip in a message of brotherly luv whether or not u share tha same sexuality or not
treat ur brothers ..like brothers
but i guess..takin time!
personal!
I don't understand.

They do not claim to be Gandhi, but sometimes are celebrated as such. Especially Kendrick... And both do kinda carry themselves on some deep, elevated yadi yadi...
But even between Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, Talin Kweli, all the "deep" edgy rappers, why is it so hard for them to talk about this. They live in the music industry, gayness is all around and a part of their life for sure.
It is almost like they are straddling the fence.

I agree they are not, but people act like they are. And personally I would love for them to just make a clear statement or think about it, as their voice is so powerful. I don't like that a white man was the first in hip hop to do it... Why can't our black rappers make it an issue.
Macklemore did ride the fuck outta that wave. But I just want a black rapper to do it, that is respected.
I do see the point, of them maybe not being qualified due to their own personal story, but at the end of the day, it is also an issue within the community and in the industry you will come across gay people, so why not rap about it.

true, they're all definitely heralded as the deep socially conscious rappers and such, but they can't help that :dead: that isn't a title they gave themselves. And they've all put great messages in their music so its kinda warranted to an extent
I dont think most of them are straddling any sort of fence, cuz i never heard of them speaking out on gay
anything. Good or bad, I've never seen them address or acknowledge it at all.
It would be nice
Although I remember J.Cole being called out after:
QuoteMy verbal AK slay faggots and I don't mean no disrespect
Whenever I say faggot, okay faggot? huh, don't be so sensitive
If you want to get fucked in the ass
That's between you and whoever else's dick it is, pause
Maybe that line was too far
Just a little joke to show how homophobic you are
And who can blame ya? Boy Meets World

I'd say the best thing in recent that was inclusive (in terms of black queer people) was Formation. It was nice to hear Beyonce give a one up to Freedia & Messy Mya (RIP).

Kendrick said something a while ago about gay marriage in support of Obama
I feel like they stay neutral because they don't want to alienate their fanbase, which IS homophobic :dead:
Macklemore is preaching to the wider mainstream audience, who's gonna boycott their music? Lol
they needa educate their stupid ass fans
but one can wonder if they need to be a bit..educated as well...
but w/e
I mean let's face it
Macklmore have that luxury, black rappers don't.
I know J. Cole does use "faggot" in his raps though. How is that okay.
lets be real though, cuz as soon as they do really address it
ya'll will be on here like "I knew he was one of the gorlz lmaoz!" and thats probably why they stray away from the topic

Reminds of what Azealia said about her fanbase

Well yea, love to call somebody gay if they show tolerance and if they don't they're bashed. But honestly, i don't feel like they need to speak on gay issues.

:young:
Kendrick and Cole aren't obligated to stick up for gays. They're doing the right thing by making sure that they speak up for those whom they identify with. If we forced them to speak up for gays, even though they don't identify as such, since it was right, then we might as well give them a laundry list of other things to discuss.
And give other artists that list as well.
These are artists, not politicians. Their voice is well, theirs.

I used to STAN for DMX, then I went back and listened to some of his songs and I was like, "wait I rapped and danced down to THIS?"

"Where Da Hood At?" used to my anthem
:melmel:
And one could easily argue that Macklemore is an opportunist. As many white people are. No shade. They profit off of others' struggles, gladly raking in dollars from things that don't affect them or their immediate community directly. But I'm sure he'll state that he donated a portion of the proceeds to some random gay organization.
QuoteMan, cats don't know what it's gonna be
Fuckin with a nigga like me, D-to-the-M-to-the-X
Last I heard, y'all niggas was havin sex, with the same sex
I show no love, to homo thugs
Empty out, reload and throw more slugs
How you gonna explain fucking a man?
Even if we squashed the beef, I ain't touching ya hand
I don't bunk with chumps, for those who been to jail
That's the cat with the Kool-Aid on his lips and pumps
I don't fuck with niggas that think they broads
Only know how to be one way, that's the dog
I know how to get down, know how to bite
Bark very little, but I know how to fight
I know how to chase a cat up in the tree
Man, I give y'all niggas the b'iness for fucking with me, is you crazy?!
Like Jesus, my 10 year old self used to LOVE his music, and now I am like...

more so tha homophobia within tha black community, BLACK..community..sumthin they are 100% about!
im not evn sayin they SHOULD speak on it at this pnt..but their silence is noted
all im sayin
Macklemore benefits from tackling these topics btw. People don't take them seriously and i feel like they're covering these taboo topics because that gives them more credibility. Like, i think they're clowns but that awards show performance about the use of drugs or whatever was amazing. The gimmick isn't working btw, their album flopping like none I've ever damn seen

It's so funny cuz on Saint Patricks day, my white coworker buddy revealed to me that he's part Irish (he's white), explaining why he proudly sported his green shirt.
I told him that my father's side of the family actually has some Irish roots, but how it came into my family isn't exactly something for me to be smiling with a green shirt, happy and giddy about. I was joking around, laughing. (even though it is true)
He caught what I meant and IMMEDIATELY that white guilt kicked in.
:plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: he chuckled just a bit
then 2 minutes later I was hearing about how MANY races of people were slaves, how it still exists, how disgusting it is....
I almost felt bad for him. I just wanted to say ..... Its OK Evan....its OK! i don't blame you personally. it was a lil joke. :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: i felt bad for even bringing it up. :dead:
Some mess just needs to be kept between myself and my black colleagues. :dead: :dead:
i wore all BLACK on saint patric' day btw. :wellheythere:

Street preacher! Real issues! Thought-provoking!
hhh now your exaggerating just a TAD
and thats probably because they might be the only two out of this current generation of rappers that DO speak on current issues
Doesn't mean their both hip hop Malcolm x's
I agree they are not, but people act like they are. And personally I would love for them to just make a clear statement or think about it, as their voice is so powerful. I don't like that a white man was the first in hip hop to do it... Why can't our black rappers make it an issue.
am mean, they probably don't fuck with gays at all. a lot of these socially conscious, "woke" niggers can't stand gays because they we're some kind of threat to the image of the "strong black male".
wouldn't be that shocking to find out they don't care for the gorls.
f
they dnt
plain n simple
Eveything is so damn disingenuous imo, just like that tweet after the award.
oh, robbed. Shoulda got it
U texted him that but felt the need to post it on social media as well :dead:

It's so funny cuz on Saint Patricks day, my white coworker buddy revealed to me that he's part Irish (he's white), explaining why he proudly sported his green shirt.
I told him that my father's side of the family actually has some Irish roots, but how it came into my family isn't exactly something for me to be smiling with a green shirt, happy and giddy about. I was joking around, laughing. (even though it is true)
He caught what I meant and IMMEDIATELY that white guilt kicked in.
:plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: he chuckled just a bit
then 2 minutes later I was hearing about how MANY races of people were slaves, how it still exists, how disgusting it is....
I almost felt bad for him. I just wanted to say ..... Its OK Evan....its OK! i don't blame you personally. it was a lil joke. :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: i felt bad for even bringing it up. :dead:
Some mess just needs to be kept between myself and my black colleagues. :dead: :dead:
i wore all BLACK on saint patric' day btw. :wellheythere:
!!!
That's why I don't discuss racial issues often with white people at work
I've had a similar experience
Not all black
Mxmxxmxnnnznznz
!!! At what Afro said
Unless their in tune, that white guilt pops up and out pours the lines that make them feel better :dead:
It's hilarious
Sometimes I bring shit up at work because it's almost automatic how the shit spews

Macklemore suck but I can give credit where it's due. He took a risk by speaking on an unpopular ass subject in hip hop when his peers won't. That song could've been bad for his career but he did it anyway. Stop bitching. :uhh:

I don't think its something that's personal to them
Maybe in future they'll touch on issue
!!!
i dont want them to do it just to get a pat on the back. if it isn't something they truly feel or understand just yet, then thats fine. As long they dont start gay bashing (in ANY way) then its whatever for now
!
I think for them the black issue comes first, because that's what they've experienced
No one has ever lauded them the most socially conscious or inclusive, but they do touch on issues that effect the community that they come from
and embrace them
!!!
there may be inconsistencies every now n then in their music, but neither of them have claimed to be Ghandi
They do not claim to be Gandhi, but sometimes are celebrated as such. Especially Kendrick... And both do kinda carry themselves on some deep, elevated yadi yadi...
But even between Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, Talin Kweli, all the "deep" edgy rappers, why is it so hard for them to talk about this. They live in the music industry, gayness is all around and a part of their life for sure.
It is almost like they are straddling the fence.
I never looked at JCole this way but Kendrick is for sure looked upon as a more conscious rapper.
I don't need him to speak on the topic if it's not authentic to him. As long as he doesn't come out and say homophobic shit.
It did make me respect Mackelmore though. He didn't have to do that song. Wish it was someone else though. He's corny to me.

Um, you do know the Republican Party which is like 90% white hates gay people.
White people do not all support anything pro gay.
And even if the song came out at the height of the gay movement, the song was recorded before it. People don't record a song and release it to radio a week later.
It was a risk for him to do the song and he did it. It was good for the gay community. You are looking way too much into it.
You seem angry at Mackelmore. Hopefully your therapist can help you with that.

Honestly, I couldn't care less about him.
It's just anytime someone straight does something for gay people it's
thought out! Contrived! why can't we just be happy someone said shit and keep it moving.
People say that same shit about GaGa, Nicki and Beyonce too. People are gonna stop supporting us if gays read artists for having our backs.

:young:
Kendrick and Cole aren't obligated to stick up for gays. They're doing the right thing by making sure that they speak up for those whom they identify with. If we forced them to speak up for gays, even though they don't identify as such, since it was right, then we might as well give them a laundry list of other things to discuss.
And give other artists that list as well.
These are artists, not politicians. Their voice is well, theirs.

And one could easily argue that Macklemore is an opportunist. As many white people are. No shade. They profit off of others' struggles, gladly raking in dollars from things that don't affect them or their immediate community directly. But I'm sure he'll state that he donated a portion of the proceeds to some random gay organization.
Are you fucking serious? I don't even like Crackermore and I even give props to his corny self.
You are doing way too damn much. :uhh:
It's time that I put you on ignore.
I advise you do the same since everything I post seems to be "too much" for you.

Calling something as you see it does not equate to hating someone. I can recognize faults in my OWN community, which I am openly discussing in here (deep rooted homophobia and its effects on Black culture and community), without hating Black people. Just as I can point out what I see in other people that I find to be unsavory.
I'll tell you like other gorls say: I don't hate white people, I have white friends.

I sent u a DM on here.
My fault then. But calling most whites opportunists is a little extreme IMO.
Just like I hate when white people say we are all thugs, in prison, ghetto, etc.

i get this
for me tho..i jus cnt do it
specially wen i kno they dnt see it for me snsnsns
i do tha same wit race or an'thing else
cnt support sumone who wouldnt support me!
!!!!!!!!!!! I'm the same way too. But Kendrick has never disrespected gays or given signs of homophobia... That I know of at least. Him deciding to be mute on the issue is not making me like him any less. I don't really see it for J.Cole, so I can't speak on his behalf. :dead:

are they really even "conscious" rappers tho? :dead:
they both have their share of sexist anti-woman bullshit in their music
OH GORL
is there something you wanna get off your chest?
cause you're always the first one leaping on my damn quote button in a fit whenever the topic of sexism comes up.
lemme know...
Calm down fagg..
I think this rant about sexism is funny.. I'm not here to snatch your pink picket sign Hun..
where's the rant tho? I made an observation. :dead:
:dead:
I always found it odd that black men are supposed to be so strong and fearless yet so many of them are scared to come out of the closet or even be associated with homosexuality even as an ally. It also makes me wonder if these celebs are really rich because if I was worth 50 mill tax free why the fuck would I care about what a nigga got to say? Its' all smoke and mirrors.
White men have more freedom to be out and open, they don't have stigmas attached like black men. Most black men are more discreet with their homosexuality. White men come out and next thing you know they are with a group of gays on fire island lmao.
Alot of black men will be fucking men exclusively, but post a meme with a man and woman talking about #goals. It's a sight to watch. lmao
I think the black gay community, we need to come out more and be more visible and unapologetic about our sexual orientation. Not just feminine gays, who take the heat and abuse because most of us can hide behind the appearance of looking masculine. It's not even a "I just dont like people in my business" it's a don't want to be perceived as gay because gay=feminine thing.
This is my opinion.
No, they arent supposed to. How do we even know they support gays? Maybe they arent advocates because they dont use, and quite honestly thats their prerogative. Doesnt make them less "real" ... it would actually make them more real in a way f

Everybody is praising them for being so socially conscious, deep etc... But how come Macklemore was the only one with the balls to tackle gay issues, when they run rampant in the black communities. Shouldn't our street poets who are oh so great, make that a topic too?
:young:
gorl :dead:
I doubt they really care, they're not gay so they haven't experienced homophobia enough.
I'm sure if they have a gay friend that gets bashed then it'll be a topic of convo for them, as with most musicians. Which I agree with, talk about what you know, not what's crute at the moment to get accolades

I'd rather them speak out of sincerity rather than doing it just because. They're not obliged to do anything either way.
