Transcripts
but I remember walking through the mall
food court a Linux mall in Atlanta
Georgia I would have been just getting
those like oh yes hell no like all those
like low comments and those looks and I
remember feeling like crazy inside way
back then so that showed me or whatever
like you know this a cold world for
people in this community there's no
secret that when it comes to hip-hop
hyper masculinity is rooted in the DNA
but is it also homophobic and with
recent artists like little nas eggs
coming out of Gabe this conversation has
been a hot topic bigger than ever before
on today's complex news presents we're
gonna unpack the over decade-long
question is hip-hop homophobic I was
first introduced to hip-hop I remember
was over the holidays and I was in st.
Croix for Christmas and rapper's
delight' came on the radio and we were
like what and like kind of just didn't
know like what it was like loved the
disco music underneath but it was like
this whole new world of like talking
over the music hip-hop during this era
gave a voice to the streets in a way
that had never been heard or seen before
and over the years as influence has
transcended beyond just music and dance
hip-hop culture was and still is
mainstream pop culture homophobia and
hip-hop was really born kind of in the
late 90s and it started as this hunt for
the gay rapper the other parallel thing
that was happening when hip hop was
exploding was that there started to
become this DL culture because of the
AIDS crisis a lot of black gay men
weren't really willing to come out and
and be out and open because of their
communities the charged black family
very very you know single-parent
households and so it was really a
struggle there was this hunt for
like who's gay and that's when it really
started to turn that's when you saw men
who were rappers trying to defend
themselves and being overly masculine
and hyperbole and just really really
certainly kind of gay bashing the lyrics
being a homosexual male in hip-hop is
probably the worst thing that you could
be at that time for sure
just because I mean let's think about
what hip-hop represents for for
especially during the mid 90s you know
this is Street hip-hop you are from the
street you were hard you know being gay
and being Street to most of us don't
connect at all that means you're soft
you know that means that show weak that
definitely doesn't mean that you popping
guns I believe it's probably more
acceptable to be a lesbian or be
bisexual is because of men's fantasy of
you with two women right that's
basically where that comes from but it
also doesn't put their own sexuality in
question or their own masculinity and
questions so there's there's more
comfort there biggie had a couple of
lines one of his lines being you look so
good I stuck on your daddy's dick and
everyone was like hey say what now
because again the idea of the notorious
b.i.g
being gay it was just like hold up now
you know you can't be doing that and be
out here bussing guns neither I mean if
you look at if you listen to early
hip-hop wu-tang has a lot of homophobic
slurs most rappers Cameron a lot of them
had just like underlying you know saying
gay and [ __ ] and different things in
their lyrics and it really started to
become this tension of this DL culture
this hyper masculine hip-hop culture and
then kind of all the nuances in between
and that's when it started to feel kind
of oppressive the interesting thing
about hip-hop in the 90s especially was
this kind of very flamboyant
so you had the pictures of LL Cool J
with no shirt and the chains
but for some reason no one questioned
that but you weren't allowed to be out
but then that's supposed to just be the
way things are but it looks super gay to
me I don't think I really started paying
attention to homophobia in hip-hop until
listening to Wendy Williams in hot 97 so
our friend Wendy Williams was you know
had her very popular radio show in the
90s and she kind of helped perpetuate a
lot of the witch-hunt
that was going on to find the gay rapper
and to kind of out people and this went
on for months you know she would drop
hints everyone was kind of like up in a
uproar about who was the gay rapper and
you know the feeling around that was if
that person was exposed if that person
even existed I don't know to this day
but if that person was exposed
obviously that person's career would be
over so Wendy called out whoever she
wanted to she would call out LL Cool J
Diddy Will Smith the list goes on and on
and you know the thing in gay culture is
that you don't out people you let people
come out so I think people felt very
kind of threatened and scared by this
kinds of rumors of who's the gay rapper
and things like that so it was it was a
weird time it was very scary and kind of
you know I always had this fear like
that someone would like jump me or beat
me up because I was gay and I don't know
if that was a real fear or just
something that I felt because of the
rampant homophobia that existed in the
culture in a 2005 MTV News interview
Kanye West says everybody in hip-hop
discriminates against gay people matter
of fact the exact opposite of hip-hop I
think is gay you play a record in it
it's wack that's gay dog and I just want
to come on TV and just tell my rappers
just tell my friends yo stop it fam
at the time Kanye admitted that he grown
up you know in hip-hop culture obviously
he too had some homophobic sentiments as
a teenager growing up in Chicago I was
working on a show called the corner
hosted by DJ envy and when he came in
just and he just straight-up asked him
like are you gay and again he defended
his stance and defended like you know I
knew people would start asking me that
if I defended gay people but he was
still extremely uncomfortable answering
the question you know and you know and I
believe he ended it with like yo but
just like the hood side of me don't ever
ask me that again so even with Kanye
defending gay people he was very
uncomfortable answering the question and
wanted to make clear that he was not gay
he himself was not gay and that just
speaks volumes on what being gay in
hip-hop could do to your career or the
fear of what it could potentially do to
your career rapper Bryan was one of the
first out gay male emcees to hit the
scene in the early 2000s Bryan and I
made up in the Bronx to talk about his
experiences in hip hop so with you
trying to figure out who you were gonna
be as an artist was that difficult when
you really didn't have anybody in the
game who was out or who identified as
like SVO and my thought process I was
just mimicking the artists that I have
grew up listening to and that I loved so
I was doing what felt like it was normal
for hip-hop not what was new
for me and so at what period in your
life did you start to really say alright
I'm gonna do this then I know that
there's some things about me that it's
kind of like going against the mold or
it's untraditional when it comes to
hip-hop artists so yeah I just got to a
point where I was like if I'm rapping
about certain things people are not
gonna believe it it's not gonna come off
as authentic if I'm talking about
relations or relationships with women
how was that gonna work
somebody's gonna be like well you know
this is not true about you so kind of a
light bulb went off and I would say this
happened like in my late teens and I
started to write about you know what was
really going on in my life and that was
my dealings with the same sex so I mean
but what was your thought process
because I imagine that hat that has to
be tough to say you know what [ __ ] it
I'm going to talk about my reality
things that most rappers aren't
comfortable talking about most rappers
have never talked about right well I
just thought it was revolutionary like
even in my own space of the four walls
in my bedroom I was like oh this is kind
of different like this is new like maybe
I'm onto something but at the same time
I was scared I was fearful apprehensive
about how it would come off like if it
ever reached the public yeah I'm like
were you l know I wasn't how I not just
I mean I just did it secretly I just
didn't on the low and I was just you
know writing these raps and before I
knew it I had like 10,000 songs about
this my lifestyle freak a rappers like
Brian the journey to be accepted in
hip-hop was once nearly impossible
especially with all of the mainstream
media discrimination towards gay culture
and the queer community like if you look
at the core image of what a hip-hop
artist is right what is that
so that's a heterosexual black male
if you are a white male rapper they're
gonna automatically put this monochrome
on you as the white rapper yeah you're
female you're gonna call you a female
rapper if you're a gay rapper they're
gonna call you gay went whenever the
case but all of those are gonna be
lesser than a black straight male rapper
exactly which is the case with our
society in general in a patriarchal
society so you have the pecking order of
who's at the top and who's at the bottom
you know and with hip-hop the people at
the top are supposed to be as far as the
artists are concerned I'm supposed to be
heterosexual black men right a lot grew
up in Hartford Connecticut so like
there's a lot of the Caribbean culture
around there and one of my favorite
songs growing up was by Buju who's a
reggae artist and it was boom bye-bye
and he's like my my ain't about a boy
and and when I was a kid like I loved
that song and then when I grew up and
listened to the lyrics I'm like this is
[ __ ] crazy like these [ __ ] is
really out here talking about like
killing people killing gay people and I
think a lot of people are listening to
music and that's homophobic and not even
really realizing what they listening to
so what was the feedback that you got
from your music once you put it out was
people really rockin with it where
people like really uncomfortable okay
well social media have really just
started to like take legs and once I put
it on myspace like
it's just it was that version of viral
before viral was a thing people were
like following me and I downloading it
and like what the [ __ ] is this and then
everybody was trying to interview me
like all these DJ's it was like is this
person real is this a gimmick is this a
real thing you know I would visit like
radio stations and it would be like well
he's rapping but what the [ __ ] collabs
you never heard no [ __ ] like this before
like this is crazy and I even remember
DJ cypher sounds from hot 97 had pulled
me to the side he was like you know I
don't want to tell you what a radio but
you know you really nice but I don't
[ __ ] with the gay [ __ ] but you really
nice with it and I was just like well I
guess I did what I came to do like was
that kind of hard or did you ever kind
of struggle with like the idea that you
may not ever be fully respected by the
community I kind of accepted it early on
you know even though I always pushed to
have my career grow as far as possible
as far as like mainstream success
whatever that means I kind of accept
that early on that it may not happen
because gay men are not accepted in any
space hardly do you think that you would
be at a different place in your career
if you had not came out yes but I don't
think I would be happy and I don't think
I don't think it would have last day
long despite senseless killings of
members of the lgbtq+ community some
artists are choosing to rise above fear
and use their platform to bring change
just this past year rapper litter nas ex
made headlines for coming out as gay
after a record-breaking run with his
number one hit Old Town Road now little
nas ex may be the most recent mainstream
hip-hop artist to come out as gay but
he's far from the first everyone from
Tyler the Creator keep going up on a
Tuesday rapper
I love Makonnen have come out as members
of the lgbtq+ community and although
Frank Ocean is technically an R&B singer
his Grammy Award winning album channel
orange got much praise from the hip-hop
community rapper Trinidad James made his
mark in hip hop back in 2012 with his
chart-topping single all gold everything
but it wasn't just his music creating
buzz
even though he is straight his
flamboyant style and gender-bending
outfit choices had to hip-hop community
question his sexuality as well when you
look at young artists like the little
nods the Jaden Smith the young clubs
like all these people who are definitely
pushing the eccentric eccentric artists
would you say that you're a trailblazer
in regards to kind of like creating this
lane for young artists like them to be
able to be so fluid in the way that they
dress and how they go about their brands
I would think I think that I'm a part of
it
little Nozick's I've never met and he's
actually gay right he's put it out there
right Jaden Smith I've worked with
that's a great kid he's just a kid
he's just a great kid like you know and
then a young thug I think that he just
got it you know I got to meet him very
very early in his career and are the
help that I might may have ever gave him
had nothing to do a conversation it just
had to do with right if just what you
want if you want to wear a dress or
whatever you want to wear don't do it
because you want to do it you don't have
to make no excuse about it you don't
have to prove no point you don't got to
no interview with nobody about do it
because you want to do it in this game
when it comes to the rapper industry
your talent should should speak for
yourself it should what was it like when
you kind of hit the scene and you
knowing that you were kind of like
pushing the envelope when it comes to
masculinity in hip-hop well to be honest
with you I don't I never looked at it as
pushing masculinity in the beginning
because when you're trying to make it
you're just doing you you know and when
you're just doing you you don't know
what people are gonna grab on to you
know and so with me understanding the
lack of knowledge that people have in
fashion I would understand why you would
look at a male rumpert or like a long
gated shirt or you know a crop top as
like whoa what are you doing because
from the general standpoint of how you
understand fashion a man is not supposed
to be doing this a long time ago I can't
remember what year I'm just saying oh
600 8 or something like that it was a
pair of Nike SB dunks
the ferris bueller SBI's and others
based off of the movie the tongue part
in the middle had a leopard friend like
the pants I'm wearing right now how
ironic
I go to American Apparel and I buy some
skinny you know American Apparel
skinnies are skinny skinny spray ons
getting spray Oh
exactly so with that being said war a
war red skinnies then and a leopard
print cardigan would I think I can
phoenix shirt I say all that to say this
way back then when I wore those dunks in
my mind I'm putting on a fit but I
remember walking through the mall food
court the Lenox Mall in Atlanta Georgia
or whatever and just getting those like
oh he KS hell don't like all those like
low comments and those looks and I
remember feeling like crazy inside
really I would have I remember that like
way back then so that showed me I would
ever like yo this a cold world for
people in this community actually uh who
actually are you know I'm saying
homosexual this that and other and got
it really this is what people think
about you just based off of what you got
all well with you being a member of the
hip-hop community and you having this
deeper understanding because of your
experiences what are your thoughts about
artists both during the origins of
hip-hop and also now who have very
homophobic lyrics or where I put out
very anti-gay comments in the media or
in the press well I always go off of I
take things to basic facts if you you
can't do better if you don't know better
because at one point in time I use those
derogatory terms to just in general
speech never to ever I never spoke from
a place of malice to somebody we have to
understand that if somebody's been using
the f-word for solo normal it's been on
TV and this and then it's just a whole
part of a life they can't just click it
off just like thing and I feel that
people in our always mess up the letters
but in that in a community
yes exactly in the LB
well in the community some forgets that
they forget that you know we are human
no matter what your sexual orientation
is I really can't speak for everybody I
just really can't you know I could just
speak from the things that I did to do
better and that was just making a
conscious effort recently rappers like
Eminem and offset have been criticized
for their homophobic comments lyrics and
remarks and although many have issued
public apologies some have not but
should they I think a lot of our
entertainers don't realize the power
that their words hold it's very
important for entertainers to be at the
forefront of social change because you
know we're not getting it from our
politicians clearly so it has to be us
to help push forward progress when you
have like rappers who have put lyrics in
their music that are homophobic or the
Kevin Hart situation where he may have
tweeted something that was homophobic
years ago mm-hmm how should we ask
consumers of their products and how can
we be better about having those
conversations with them versus just
cancelling them cancel culture sometimes
is it can be a bit harsh at times I
think a lot of people tend to are
they're quick to judge and they're quick
to make conclusions I personally like to
see as much evidence as possible before
I put like slap a guilty label on them
as far as like past comments go I do
believe that people have the ability to
change like I'm pretty sure everybody in
this room has said something really
really dumb when they were 15 16 17
years old possibility of change yes but
should they have to are they just
expressing themselves freely under the
First Amendment and walk in the light of
normality that it's okay to be
homophobic and hip-hop and that's just
the way it is but with all things
considered where does this leave us now
and do we think that the hip-hop
community will progress past these
homophobia homophobia in general is is
rampant still violence against black
trans women
very high and there's still a lot of
bullying that happens against queer
communities and queer people especially
on Twitter it's super vibrant and so you
have you know suicide is the second
highest cause of death for young queer
people because they feel bullied and not
accepted
I think people black people hip-hop
culture can overlook anything if you're
dope like you have to but you have to be
the best in order for a homosexual man
to make it in hip-hop proper he is going
to have to be so [ __ ] dope that
people just don't even think about it
well I'm inspired and encouraged when I
think about the future of hip-hop
especially when it comes to LGBT qi+
music culture community we're living in
a time where queer narratives and black
narratives are much more important and
so we're seeing more of that and
streaming and in Hollywood and on
television and so to see that manifest
itself through music I think is amazing
what I always loved about hip hop is the
just the innate creativity that exists
within the culture and seeing how that
creativity has now blossomed into this
kind of gender fluid gender you know
non-binary creative culture class is
amazing to me so to see all these things
seem Nikki Blanco working with Madonna
to see people just living their real
truth and even someone like Tyler the
Creator who's like flirting with gender
fluidity and is he gay and is he not gay
but that is accepted and that it's cool
makes me feel good what helps with that
is communicating these problems
communicating the misunderstanding of
both sides because I also feel that
people that are homosexual have worse
attitudes sometimes that that for the
people that actually trying to show
respect where it feels like Amen why
would you now turn and want to play
revenge car
when that doesn't make it better for
nobody because I feel that a straight
person's opinions should not be forced
on a gay person but a gay person's
opinion should not also be a forced on
the straight person I feel like that's
super fair let's talk about the lack of
our progression all the real issues not
addressing we have war but don't nobody
get the message this ain't the time for
fear now we hear now anything and I wave
about the tear down time at the time we
the people that they target they wonder
water people so heartless you got to
understand who I am where I am what I am
I am a powerful man I'm from the home of
the brave not home at a slave coming at
you staying at soil at me statues if
they kill us we were surface resurrected
respected no matter how much we neglect
it they asked where's the leaders but it
gets deeper what can I say they don't
