swineflu.

Kanye said “that the term will be used in future as synonymous with fashionable and stylish. “Speaking in an interview with Details, West said: ‘I like to embody titles or words that have negative connotations and explain why that’s good. Take the word gay. Like, in hip-hop, that’s a negative thing, right? But in the past two, three years, all the gay people I’ve encountered have been, like, really, really, extremely dope. I haven’t gone to a gay bar, nor do I ever plan to. But where I would talk to a gay person, the conversation would be mostly around art or design, it’d be really dope. ‘From a design standpoint, kids’ll say, “Dude, those pants are gay.” But if it’s good, good, good fashion-level, design-level stuff, where it’s on a higher level than the average commercial design stuff, it’s gay people that do that. I think that should be said as a compliment. Like,”‘Dude, that’s so good it’s almost gay.”‘ West has talked about his perception of gay men as fashion icons in the past, drawing speculation over his sexuality. He said in a statement: ‘Stereotypically gay people got such good [style] … they were smart enough to take a fresh-ass logo like the rainbow and say that it’s gonna be theirs.’” You just let that all sink in. And while I thank Kanye for his support and enthusiasm for the queer community, I don’t exactly think he will help the cause. I mean drawing on stereotypes that gays are snappy dressers, artists and designers isn’t exactly constructive, and his affinity for the rainbow is just plain hilarious. But I suppose it could be worse: He could be saying negative things about queers, or maybe former President Bush could speak out on our behalf.

YouMad.GIF Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Actually I was listening to an interview he did about 3-4 years ago where he was first really blowing up, after college dropout, and he was going off on the use of "gay" and "fag" negatively in hip hop I don't remember what was said particularly, but we came to the conclusion in office that he really meant "I sucked a few dicks when I was in art school and that's ok" I mean it's none of my business how kanye rolls, more power to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shai Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I don't understand what he's trying to say or achieve by doing this at all. Sometimes I think he makes statements like this just to see what kind of reaction he'll get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
