This song is, all things considered, one of the more offensive songs I've ever heard. It's gotta be top 3, and right now I can't even think of a more offensive song. And I'm straight. So I can only imagine how disgusted the gay community would be hearing this. Which is just about the only thing I agree with the OP about. It's disappointing for sure, and like you said, goes above and beyond your standard pre-00s homophobia of tossing a slur in one bar in a song about something else.
Just a gross song. Gross concept. Gross that one of my favorite groups made it. Hadn't heard it before yesterday and kinda wish I never had.
>They went above and beyond with that track, nahmean? It's >above and beyond the hip-hop homophobia at the time. We can >make the arguement that homophobia is homophobia and that >throwing in a 'fag' in a rap bar to show how tough you are is >as damaging as dedicating a song to avtively hating LGBTQ > >But Phife dropped some homophobic lyrics in Oh My God and we >gave em a pass. Imho its less about the fact that they were >homophobic, its that they set the gold standard in hip-hop for >abhorrent songs dedicated to gay bashing, lol.
