Umm no I don't get why it's not in the same category lol

You just assume that people are being gay bashed based on DMX lyrics as opposed to maybe people fighting dogs cause DMX made that aesthetic cool too.... It's pure conjecture.

It's not like hating homosexuality was some big theme I'm his songs.. like many other rappers he made a few passing remarks usually aimed at emasculating his rap rivals rather than speaking on homosexuality as such... But because it doesn't fit the politics of today let's make that the hallmark of his legacy as opposed to any number of the other deranged things he's said I'm his songs. Dude probably had serious mental illness if you listen to his lyrics closely but nah let's not show any compassion for that now that he's dead... Let's fixate on the homo thugs line cause that's what is important for progress in our society

You can't point to actual harm you are just seizing on his death to have a dated conversation on the problematic nature of lyrics that were penned 20 years ago.. Cause you have nothing better to do.

A week ago when he was alive nobody was analyzing this crack addicts lyrics but now that he's dead we mustn't miss the opportunity to take him to task.... To what end exactly?
