infinite zest - 2014-09-01
I used to live with a trans rapper.. I mean sort of, she hadn't had the operation yet and lord knows if she ever will. But we were best friends and frankly I like the androgyny. Like Blood Orange (another band I adore) it's making the genre something new. Even if Blood Orange isn't necessarily "Hip hop." I think it was Sugarhill Gang that started the whole homophobic thing in hip hop, and while that song will always be a treasure, that line really pisses me off. It's like implying that all "rock" musicians should sound like the stones and that nothing should ever change.
