"has Tribe apologized for 'Georgie Porgie'?"


  

          

Over in the Lesson they don't know. Do you?

When I google I only see this: https://m.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/comments/396haf/did_tribe_called_quest_or_brand_nubian_ever/

So I'm not the only person curious.

In case you don't know about GP. It's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyKcZb5LufE

http://cypheravenue.com/a-tribe-called-homophobic-the-most-anti-gay-rap-song-ever-ever/

Did they issue an actual apology?

fuck you.

152
           Just like Tribe, the label refused it

No. But if Tribe stands by this record

I'm sure they will miss you
