A TRIBE CALLED HOMOPHOBIC: THE MOST ANTI-GAY RAP SONG EVER…EVER
Upon first listen, prov self another classic release their disgraphy, as well as one of 2016’s most important, but do prove that the group has progrsed past their unreleased song, “Geie Pie, ” one of the most homophobic tracks rerd by a popular artist? And yet, wh this album arrivg 25 years after their sophomore standard, The Low End Theory, ’s hard not to feel a b nflicted rememberg what was almost ATCQ’s legacy: “Geie Pie.
” But before there was “Show Bs, ” ATCQ origally submted “Geie Pie, ” featurg the same productn, as well as all three members of Brand Nubian, wh what is probably the most homophobic lyrics wrten hip hop, possibly by any popular artist history. A song wrten wh no other purpose than to be hateful, here are a few exampl of s ntent: Phife Dawg:“In the begng there was Adam and Eve / But some try to make look like Adam and Steve … Walkg the ville wh them long dreadlocks / But on the DL, gettg done up the butt box / Oh my God how gross n one be” Q-Tip:“What ma you choose the path of the gays, oh why / A’t got no reason, to hell wh alibis / Won’t play basketball e your nails a’t dry / Call me homophobic but I know and you know / You’re filthy and funny to the utmost exponent” Grand Puba:“He cipher monkey cipher, you fuckg faggot / Couldn’t wa for gay para so you n drag / Gee ed to flip, went om htg sks to suckg nigga’s dick” Lord Jamar:“My man Gee got a germ that’s ill / Sufferg om termal sg / But never ever gettg ught walkg like a fag … Why a man would want to be a weak cipher man / I thought the plan was to be hard as a rock / Not ridg a jock, suckg on a ck” Thankfully, for everyone’s sake, their label at the time, Jive Rerds, rejected the track for s ntent.
Even some artists who were once homophobic or valierly dropped homophobic slurs the past have addrsed their prr shortsightedns. In 2005, Kanye Wt spoke to MTV News’ Sway Calloway about how the ncept of masculy hip hop and prsur high school effected him earlier on his life, alterg his outlook on the gay muny. However, once he found out that one of his s was gay, his perspective shifted quickly.
