OK . . . I understand, I understand. You say people should just go their seperate ways like that, some kind of sexual seperationism, but in terms homophobic lyrics: Noone can argue with me on this one, and I hate to bring it up because it's sucha poor metaphor, but would it ever be allowed for a white rapper to use the N-word in the context that Common uses the word fag? INvariabley the answer is no, and so in that sense there should be some sort of question as to Common's use of the word fag.
I think in the end Common's just some dude who writes some poems and records them sometimes. If oyu don't like it, don't buy it. If oyu don't like it, tell somebody, come online and post about it. IN the end, ultimately, all Common's doing is making himself sound more ignorant. That's his prerogative . . .If that's how he wants to go out . . .
