Tyler, the Creator has repeatedly used the term ‘f*ggot’ in his lyrics, used most heavily in his earlier work. While this off-the-mic expression of homophobia from some rappers can be seen as bleak, there is a certain leniency towards others. Offset claimed that fans’ support stems from “the world (being) f*cked up.” Who is allowed to toe the line? When asked their thoughts on fellow rapper iLoveMakonnen’s coming out, Quavo called people’s acceptance of Makonnen “wack”. Offset and Quavo of rap trio Migos also implied homophobic beliefs in a 2017 interview. He defended himself saying these themes were simply “thrown around” in current battle rap. Once confronted about the issue in an interview by openly-gay journalist Anderson Cooper, Eminem claimed that he did not genuinely mean what he said.

Among the most disaffected of the rapper’s lyrics are in his 2000 song “ Criminal”. Rapper Eminem has been consistent with homophobic slurs, lyrics and statements. Even today, current rappers have expressed their distaste towards homosexuality, sometimes in the most violent of terms. This habitual homophobia has seemingly become a doctrine for the genre and an ingrained belief of the artists within it. Has homophobia in mainstream media changed? The group’s first album was originally titled “Don’t Be A F*ggot,” but was advised against doing so by Columbia Records. Notable expressions of homophobia stretch back to 1986, with the debut album by hip-hop trio the Beastie Boys. Tyler addressed that in “Domo 23,” saying that to demonstrate he wasn’t racist or homophobic he grabbed Lucas, the white member of Odd Future, and kissed him.īut then Tyler describes that, though he kissed Lucas just to piss people off, he might be having feelings for him - and plays it off with the homophobic line of straight bros everywhere, “No homo.” He then subverts its usual meaning by adding “Too soon,” implying it’s too early for a gay relationship with Lucas, as they hadn’t even had sex yet.Since the genesis of hip hop, it’s been commonplace to insult the notion of gayness, on and off the mic. Back then, in fact, it was assumed Tyler was actually homophobic, due to some of his lyrics.

This is the earliest song on our list, from 2013’s Wolf, and one reason we’re a little surprised it took this long for people to realize Tyler wasn’t 100% straight. You think I give a fuck? I ain’t even stick my dick in yet

“Domo 23”įeelings getting caught, it’s off, I’m pissing But we particularly like this, in his remix of Kanye West‘s “ Kids See Ghosts,” the way Tyler’s singing about not only representing the community with a rainbow on his belt but also letting his femme self shine by referring to wearing expensive fur coats. There are a couple of references to his sexuality in “ Crust in Their Eyes.” There’s also yet another reference to Tyler, the Creator’s love of white twinks. The artwork for ‘Crust in Their Eyes,’ photographed by Matthieu Venot In a 2015 Rolling Stone interview he mentions having a crush on ’96 Leonardo DiCaprio and Riverdale‘s Cole Sprouse. That said, he’s never been particularly secretive about it, either. Similar to the shoutout to Timothée Chalamet on his 2018 single “Okra,” Tyler’s upfront here about being attracted to white twinks. “I Ain’t Got Time!”Īnother track from Scum Fuck Flower Boy, “ I Ain’t Got Time!” is pretty upfront not only about Tyler, the Creator’s orientation but his tastes. Plus, this lyric slyly uses the word “poof,” British slang for a gay man. Many people in the LGBTQ community who have heard that themselves can relate to Tyler’s dismissal of the trope. We particularly love this bit from “ Garden Shed,” his collaboration with Estelle, in which Tyler, the Creator jokes about the commonly held belief (mostly by disappointed parents) that homosexuality is “just a phase.” For Tyler, at least, that phase is “still goin’ on.” Though Tyler, the Creator has been dropping hints about his sexuality for years, 2017’s Scum Fuck Flower Boy had a number of lyrics explicitly addressing it. Thought it’d be like the phrase “poof,” gone Truth is, since a youth kid, thought it was a phase I didn’t wanna talk and tell ’em my location The sleeve from ‘Scum Fuck Flower Boy,’ Tyler, the Creator’s 2017 album It’s clear that Call Me By Your Name left a big imprint on Tyler’s psyche this song has one of many references to the film with the line “so who’s Oliv, who’s Elio?” But we thought we’d highlight this line instead, where he addresses his bisexuality by saying gender “don’t matter.” 2.
