might this demo not be them trying to assert themselves as hetero individuals?

They obviously did it in the worst way possible, but it kind of feels to me like they
might've been called out as 'gay' in the early native tongue days (Q-Tip has had these
rumours about him much longer still) and this was their way to assert their straightness?

I'm not trying to make up excuses for this piece of shit song, but the whole thing is so unlike Tribe i'm trying to grasp their motivations at the time
