[...] who seems to be trying to press his lips up on this other guy’s face (just a few days after Sigel tried to insinuate that Kanye West and Pharrell Williams might be gay). Some might call it kissing. You be the [...]

I didn’t say he wasn’t entitled to his opinion. The problem is that his opinion makes it’s way into records, and that translates into the boys who think they need to beat, stab, shoot or murder gay men because it’s sanctioned by music and a culture of violent hyper-masculinties. It’s easy for you to chalk it up as an opinion if you don’t have to fear walkin down the street if someone perceives you as gay. When you have that experience, or have been bashed, cussed out, or have people throw things at you from their cars, come talk to me about what opinions mean!

His opinion, as ignorant as it may be, it’s still his opinion. It seems like gays have a problem when people have an opinion about them. Whether it’s insulting, insensitive, ignorant, or whatever, who am I to judge. Everyone (not just gays) are entitled to their own OPINION.

You know the first time I was actually exposed to this imbecile Beanie whateva-the-hell-his-name-is was when one of my more “ghetto” (don’t worry I’ll apologize later) cousins chose to stick his pathetic foray into film making, “State Property,” (I think) into her DVD player… After I’d stomached enough of his negative, gratuitously violent, exploitive, self-loathing, shameful celebration of damn near every negative Black stereotype, venomous degradation of my Black peoples, I told my lil’ cuz I had something better I could be doing with my time (like counting the molecules of water in my cup one-by-one); and politely drove my azz home…

I knew then that this “poet” (yeah, I kept a straight face — but it wasn’t easy) was just another culturally poisonous, consciously subjugated, self-hatin’ Negro… All this pitiful interview does is confirm that the brotha STILL ain’t came in off the plantation…
