Fish sticks


After seeing Kanye get murdered on South Park, I wondered how things would change if Kanye was really homosexual. Personally, I would still listen to his music, still be eagerly anticipating his clothing line, and still be thirsty for a pair of all black Air Yeezys with the glow-in-the-dark sole. I would still think he is a great producer, and I would still be proud that he reps Chicago so hard. I wonder if I would be in the minority or majority on this one.

The hip-hop industry is extremely homophobic, so I know there would be a lot of backlash there. he would be ostracized by all the rappers that could finally say, "I told you so!" Diss records would be released every half hour.The Bossip writers would probably jizz in their pants. His "biggest fans" would denounce their love for all things Kanye. Chicago's rep would take a huge hit in the rap game.

It's ridiculous that so many people would jump at the chance to tear down a successful black man simply becuase he doesn't fit the mold of a typical hood rapper. Like the Clipse said, we let so much slide in hip-hop. Why can't we let Yeezy slide. I mean, Lil Wayne and Baby were on 106 and park, and Wayne said that the only person Baby kisses is him. Where's the outrage? Wayne and Baby kissed each other on the lips, yet go to any hood in America and you will find plenty of people that feel Wayne is the best rapper alive. Wayne has this piercing. Yet when Kanye is in a pic with someone who has on leopard print tights, we work ourselves into a frenzy. Where's the consistency? Is it becuase Kanye is well spoken, middle class, and a great dresser? Should he have sold drugs or gotten a lot of tattoos? Should he be more mysoginistic and more glorifying of activities and behaviors that destroy our communties? I'm not saying Kayne is an angel, but for some reason, a lot of people want him to be gay.

Is probably becuase he'd be easier to accept then. It would be easier on their fragile egos.




Do you.
