2693311, Gay rapper Le1f releases Dark York, so in other words...
Posted by stylez dainty, Tue May-01-12 05:43 PM
it's much less homoerotic than most NY rap records.
Jokes aside, it's pretty good. Released for free on Das Racist's Greedhead label. I hadn't heard of him before, but he produced Combination Taco Bell Pizza Hut. The production on here is really interesting--electronic sounding, but in a nice eclectic way--no oontz--yet another way it's less homoerotic than most rap releases these days.
Curious if we're finally at a place where a hip hop record like this can be embraced. After all, aren't the best emcees the ones that are able to just be themselves and sound dope in the process?

I was enjoying it a lot more before he started rapping, but I wish him the best. Shame that he has to label himself to get any attention though.

2693319, Well in his defense...

What kills me is the cosign of Frank Ocean's sexuality from JayZ, Nas, 50 Cent... and most of the hip hop community.
