No, but I think context is somewhat important, especially when discussing art.
Honestly I’m not excusing it, but I also don’t think that Lee Daniels Freestyle, which comes with a literal note saying, “I wrote this because I’m pissed about cultural stereotyping, and I want to show you how it feels when that happens,” is evidence of blanket homophobia.
Again, I do think that’s a shallow read.
Maybe people should stop pretending that rap is Un-Art and that complex messaging isn’t possible in the genre.
Ever seen, like, Kids? Or more recently mid90s? Disparaging, homophobic language abounds, but nobody’s accusing Jonah Hill of homophobia. And his movie didn’t even come with an explanation.
Anyway, whatever.
New JPEGMafia album is crazy, and honestly barely qualifies as rap music.
