Comment on Spotify Removes Offensive Imagery But Keeps Transphobic Song Despite Outcry
littlecolt@lemm.ee 11 months agoSaid f*ggot in his recent track with Busta Rhymes, says he still hates them. I complain about this all the time. It’s a big problem in hip hop. Even up and coming rappers like Token use the slur in their lyrics and it annoys me to no end. A lot of these people are fairly intelligent. It’s just so deeply rooted in the culture as a way to insult masculinity.

I don’t think he hates gay people. But his music is controversy, that’s its selling point. And I think your last sentence is spot on. For your typical “masculine” man, being called gay is an insult. It shouldn’t be, but unfortunately that’s the way it is.

Not only homophobia. Rap music has a huge problem with sexism and misogyny.
And then there’s bands like Cannibal corpse.
Not saying that transphobia is OK, but there’s a lot of weird and questionable music out there.

What does Cannibal Corpse say? Other than stuff like I cum blood.

Those are pretty crazy. Written by Chris Barnes, apparently.
