Ltle gay look' boySo gay I n barely say wh a straight face look' boyYou wns' a mass-occurLike you're watch' a church gatherg take place look' boy"Oy vey, that boy's gay", that's all they say, look' boyYou get a thumbs up, pat on the backAnd a "Way-to-go" om your label every day, look' boyHey, look' boy, what you say, look' boy?

“Emem’s ‘Rap God’ is full of homophobic slurs, '” reads a Huffgton Post headle. Maly about the followg l om “Rap God”: Ltle gay-lookg boy / So gay I n barely say wh a straight face-lookg boy / You wnsg massacre like you watchg a church gatherg takg place-lookg boy / ‘Oy vey, that boy’s gay, ’ that’s all they say lookg-boy / You take a thumbs up, pat on the back, the way you go om your label every day-lookg boy.

Earlier, the first verse, Em raps: I attempt the lyril acrobat stunts while I’m practicg that / I’ll still be able to break a motherfuck’ table / Over the back of a uple of faggots and crack half / Only realized was ironic I was signed to Aftermath after the fact So, Emem’s still g homophobic slurs to sult his rap fo and petors. He’s been gettg trouble for his harsh homophobic imagery for more than a now, and seems not much will change this fall when MMLP2 drops.

OLR, WISER EMEM STILL DON'T GET WHY GAY SLURS ARE OFFENSIVE

But other thgs have changed — namely, the state of hip-hop and s newfound termatn to be gay-iendly. Ltle gay-look' boySo gay I n barely say wh a straight face, look' boy (Ha)You're wns' a mass occurLike you're watch' a church gather' take place, look' boy"Oy vey, that boy's gay, " that's all they say, look' boyYou get a thumbs up, pat on the backAnd a "way to go" om your label every day, look' boyHey, look' boy, what you say, look' boy?

The rapper's latt sgle, "Rap God, " also ntas echo of an earlier era of hip hop, but 's not a e for celebratn: the track is flood wh homophobic article is om the archive of our partner early taste of Emem's The Marshall Mathers LP 2, lead sgle "Berzerk, " hearkened back to the goln age of hip hop wh big '80s dms and Beasti referenc. The rapper's latt sgle, "Rap God, " also ntas echo of an earlier era of hip hop, but 's not a e for celebratn: the track is flood wh homophobic slurs.

And, as he mak abundantly clear a new terview wh Rollg Stone, Em still don't see the problem wh song's send verse, for stance, fds Slim Shady lashg out at "fags" and a "gay-lookg boy" as he boasts himself up: You fags thk 's all a game 'til I walk a flock of flam / Off a plank, and tell me what the fuck are you thkg? / Ltle gay-look' boy / So gay I n barely say wh a straight face-look', boy / You wnsg a massacre / Like you watchg a church gatherg take place, look' boy / Oy vey, that boy's gayNone of which is new terrory—Emem's been cricized for flagrantly homophobic lyrics sce the Clton admistratn. But somehow, crics expected the rapper, now his 40s, to have left the slurs behd, particularly the age of Frank Ocean's 2012 g out and Kanye Wt's longtime opposn to gay-bashg: I wish Emem's affectn for homophobic slurs would transform as dramatilly as his face has — Sam Lansky (@samlansky) November 4, 2013Not so.
