Lil B's new album to ce titled "I'm Gay"
- Thread starter gay-active
- Start date
Wouldn't the majority of rappers souls be in the wrong place for what they promote?
I mean, from the article Freddie Gibbs is comparing Lil B to a minstrel show, yet Gibbs has a song called Str8 Killa.
I guess our generation is suffering too for all the shit we grew up with: NWA, Snoop Dogg, 2pac, etc.
Lil B is trying to get the Kanye and Nicki Minaj fans. No one trips when rappers try to promote their gang affiliaton or criminal activity but someone titles their album "Gay," and it's a affront to humanity.

They never really cared. It's because the music was good. That's why even rich white girls were buying 50 Cent, because of the mainstream singles, not because they were awed by him getting shot 9 times, or growing up in poverty.
All they know is "Go shorty, it's ya birthday..."
Of course there's some people that eventually sympathize with the content but again, it's because of the rhythm of the song, the charisma of the rapper, etc.

Some white girl was telling me how she loved 50 Cent but when she bought his album [The New Breed] it sucked and how "Go Shorty" wasn't even on there.
True. I apologize for the racial comment. What I should have said, was middle to upper class kids liking music that supposedly, they shouldn't be liking.
But even that is wrong. Whatever is new and different is usually what gets popular.
At the time all that gangsta shit was new and different. So it sold. That shit got old and then you had the bling bling era. Got old, now you got people acting weird like it's the 80s and that too will get old.

So what's the problem then? They're trends in music and culture, they come and go, and there's people shake their heads at it just like they shook their heads when NWA hit the scene... or when metallica and slayer hit the scene etc... I mean people acting weird like it's the 80's is pretty tame... no ones gettin' hurt.
And the gay shit it just for controversy... Lil B has his name in everyones mouth (this thread being a prime example) dudes created a free hype machine for himself off controversy. Like marilyn manson did... like Elvis did in his time by shaking his hips... Lil B found an angle that sparks insane controversy and people can't stop talking about it, and fighting over it, and hating it, and loving it etc... but bottom line is his name is out there. He's staying in peoples faces... he's playing the game like a mastermind bobby fisher or some shit. For some reason that's missed or goes over peoples heads cos they focus on the petty issues and lifestyles he addresses. He knows what gets people fired up and there's his buzz. Controversy, scandal, sex, drugs etc.. all sell.

Yeah, a lot of black posturing and bragging does seek to imitate "the good life" whites supposedly have: rich, running shit, shopping at the nice places, wearing clothes rich white people on madison ave. and rodeo dr. sport, nice cars, big house, good food, etc. Shit is just distorted and coming through a black inner-city lens.
I'm sorry but irony is not a form of humor that is big in the hood, or natural to a lot of black folks. And hipsters (white folks prevailing in that sub-culture) love irony. White intellectuals (which many hipster artist are just with a long beard, weird tattoos, skinny pants and faux 1940's dress shoes) and hipsters love that sort of comedy.

Me too. It was weird and that's what made it unique, at least to me.
^Can't support anything this musician puts out tho. That shit is just wrong.

Lil B isn't a mastermind, I don't understand the folks in here acting like he's some sort of genius. You have a music that's rooted in the hood, the hood's majority being black and latino, the black and latino (at least old school) being conservative when it comes to sexuality, etc. meaning they don't support homosexuality, especially male homosexuality. So Lil B, hanging around white hipster types appropriating culture that dominates in white youth circles (and only a few years ago making it's way over to blacks via dipset, Lil Wayne, Pharell, etc.) picks up on their style, "freedom", comedy all of that. And at the right time injects that shit into rap, it's just that he went all the way with it.
I've heard hipster rap groups talk about the gayest shit in their music etc., say way off the wall shit, have pen and pixel ironic music covers (there's hipster mufuckas who auction of old southern pen and pixel covers the gaudiest ugliest shit gettin the most money), and so on but no one gave a fuck (took them seriously) because they were hipsters and white.Now Lil B supposed ex-goon with credibility with the young black rap fan does it and changes the context and the seriousness of it.
It's like if a muslim terrorist blows some shit up we're like "fuckin muslim always blowin shit up," but when a Christian terrorist does the same we are shocked, but the shit been happening all the time. So, to me the nigga is not a genius, he took some shit that's been out here to the limit with the right skin tone, background and music. He is a risk taker though, because even though black rappers have been takin alot from white culture recently, certain things they wouldn't do because niggas wouldn't go that far, Lil B said all gas no brakes...
TL;DR
Lil B swagger jacked white hipsters and niggas thinkin he's a genius cause they just listen to 90's rap. The End.
