Even some of my favorite rappers have used homophobic lyrics in their songs.
A lot of rappers blatantly use offensive language against homosexuals in their songs such as “faggots” and “sissy”. I’m a fan of hip hop and rap but can say that it’s the most homophobic music genre. I could only imagine how it was for Lil Nas to be gay and a rapper. Eventually, I realized that other people’s opinions really didn’t matter and that I had to live my life. Coming from a ghetto neighborhood I grew up with anxiety mostly in fear that people would discover my sexuality. As a black gay man, I can relate to that struggle. Just like many black gay men Lil Nas X lived his life in the closet. The song lasted as the #1 song on the Billboard charts for months. That song was sung by everyone: at concerts, music festivals, and even elementary schools. He blew up after the hit sing “Old Time Road”.
