ATL’S OWN SPEAKS OUT ON HOMOPHOBIA IN HIP-HOP
After bringing his music back to the trap for his recently released album Trap Or Die 3, Jeezy visited Larry King Now to speak on several controversial topics affecting the hip-hop community. The Atlanta rapper touched on various topics including the importance of the Black Lives Matter movement, homophobia in hip-hop and his thoughts on Barack Obama.
Jeezy applauded the success of Young M.A., an openly gay rapper, for breaking barriers when asked about homophobia in hip-hop and his thoughts on why the genre hasn’t fully embraced the idea of bringing in more gay rappers. “I guess culture-wise it just doesn’t match with it — what hip-hop represents. You know, hip-hop is about being tough and just really being dominant and just being individual with it.”
