is all i'm saying
no one tyler's age or earl's age would find the phrase "that faggot nigga b.o.b." to be offensive -- this is the world, you guys
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2011 20:59 (fifteen years ago)
yeah but tyler's thing isn't just calling ppl "fagg0t" in a casual bro-sorta context... it's saying shit like "whoa whoa, NO HOMO... i ain't GAY... fagg0t" on his trax, which goes a bit beyond casual banter in his world of young ppl

j0rdan it is not a new thing for 16 yr olds to freely throw around 'faggot' & pretend it doesnt matter
― deej, Monday, 14 March 2011 21:02 (fifteen years ago)
i think it's a generational thing
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2011 21:03 (fifteen years ago)
plus as slang gets ingrained in language it becomes more casual/common
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2011 21:04 (fifteen years ago)
there's a diff btwn using "faggot"/"n1gga"/etc. as terms of endearment & in reference to friends & such-- vs. using them in offensive & non-endearing contexts where u are actually h8ing on ppl that whichever term was originated for

like, if tyler was jokin around calling his buddies whatever slur, i'd be fine w/ it! it's not used in that context tho
― thank you ilxor for starting this much needed thread (ilxor), Monday, 14 March 2011 21:05 (fifteen years ago)
apparently syd doesn't, but ... really? even if they were queer?
anyway i still can't play these records in my house because you know what, my friends might not understand that they shouldn't be offended by all the "faggot" stuff because hey, it's 2011, and this is hip-hop. it's a problem for at least some of the audience, why is that not worth talking about?

lol everyone has talked about this so much -- anyway i think it's barely worth talking about because it's a genre/generational thing that is not unique to odd future -- we've talked about this too
if ppl are put off by their lyrics i totally understand that & think they should say that
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2011 21:07 (fifteen years ago)
shakey i heard "rape" used in that context like 3 million times when i was in high school
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2011 21:08 (fifteen years ago)
also ilxor is wrong -- tyler is far from big l
do we think that ofwgkta's appropriation of the swastika means that they think jews are inferior people that should be eliminated from the earth
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2011 21:09 (fifteen years ago)
lol everyone has talked about this so much
maybe i should re-read, but i seem to remember every exchange going like "hey this is sort of bothering me" greeted by "rmde, have you ever listened to hip-hop before"
― just woke up (lukas), Monday, 14 March 2011 21:09 (fifteen years ago)
well the "have you ever listened to hip hop" point is a valid one imo
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2011 21:10 (fifteen years ago)
ofwgkta's appropriation of the swastika

no it makes them boring nihilistic douchebags who aren't that different from the white kids who think it's hilarious to say the N word 24/7 because they soooo aren't racist
― some dude, Monday, 14 March 2011 21:13 (fifteen years ago)
anyway thx for the new display name. im out, gonna listen to more GOLF WANG b4 i keep saying how offended i am (not all that much, really, but there are lots of better rappers using far fewer slurs & rape joeks, so i'm still wondering "why bother?")
― ilxor you've listened to one odd future album once (ilxor), Monday, 14 March 2011 21:13 (fifteen years ago)
i don't think tyler is a homophobe nor do i think that he's someone that condones rape -- it is really a generational thing with people that are my age and younger (and this was used by em when he had to defend himself against homophobe allegations) where words, esp slurs, mean less than they used to -- and it's not just "faggot" either, like ime hispanic kids will say "nigga" all the time & to & in the presence of black kids & it's just seen as a normal word -- same with "rape" being used as a verb i.e. "i raped you in x box" -- i'm not condoning any of that esp for ppl that ARE my age and are long out of high school, but it's a thing i think ppl should understand― J0rdan S., Monday, March 14, 2011 4:57 PM (14 minutes ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

i'm cool w/ anyone thinking they're "boring nihilistic douchebags" -- i would disagree on many levels, but taste is taste!
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2011 21:15 (fifteen years ago)
there really arent tons of rap artists who revel in this kind of stuff. even the big l comparison is bonkers ... the entire subtext of his career was the fighting-for-your-life growing up in harlem where ppl get shot on a daily basis ('street struck,') the violence & shock tactics are intended to draw attention to how supposedly-evil its made him -- he doesnt throw around 'faggot' to one up ppl on twitter
the artists i can think of who DO revel in this stuff arent critically acclaimed either, tho they tend to be loved by dom passantino
― deej, Monday, 14 March 2011 21:15 (fifteen years ago)

― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2011 21:16 (fifteen years ago)
lol deej don't make an excuse for big l
j0rdan, the only thing your generation has produced thus far is "You just lost THE GAME" and you certainly didn't invent tossed off swear words
― i been serving humble pie since he had small faces (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 14 March 2011 21:16 (fifteen years ago)
j0rdan it's not a generational thing, it's a teenager thing, and it's not an interesting teenager thing either. it wouldn't necessarily be a dealbreaker but when it's so front & centre, and there's little else that i'm latching on to except, like, gross-out jokes...
― lex pretend, Monday, 14 March 2011 21:16 (fifteen years ago)
lex, you're someone that is v vocal about hating "comedy" so your dislike of OF is not surprising in the least to me
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2011 21:17 (fifteen years ago)
wait swastikas?
― gr8080 sings the blues (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 14 March 2011 21:17 (fifteen years ago)
its not 'an excuse' dude! him putting a ring around a girl's eye is reprehensible. but big l was never on the cover of billboard or performing on late night shows (he was too hardcore for arsenio for fucks sake) & yes it being street rap does give violent language a different context
― deej, Monday, 14 March 2011 21:17 (fifteen years ago)
J0rdan it has nothing to do with GENERATION POKEMON or whatever shit, it has everything to do with being TEENAGERS. And anyone who cant remember dudes throwing around "faggot" and "rape" and swastika shit in high school has been an adult far too long
― i been serving humble pie since he had small faces (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 14 March 2011 21:17 (fifteen years ago)
deej your argument of "big l saw a lot of violence and grew up poor so it's cool for him to rap constantly about killing faggots" is pretty condescending
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2011 21:19 (fifteen years ago)
thing is, most of my favourite rappers i actually love because i find them funny...like OF are way less overtly "comedic" than ludacris or nicki minaj
― lex pretend, Monday, 14 March 2011 21:19 (fifteen years ago)
i remember j@son furl@nd drew swatikas on his notebook in 5th grade i was like woah dude but his sisters were sluts and i think he drank already. he gave himself a prison tattoo with a needle and thread and india ink in 7th grade art class. he like iron maiden and black sabbath and shit but then in jr high he got into hip hop.

― lex pretend, Monday, 14 March 2011 21:20 (fifteen years ago)
j0rdan theres a reason ppl argue that tyler is at his most interesting when hes talking about stuff like lilsoulbrother was talking about ... empty shock is nothing, it becomes a statement when there's come kind of context. and frankly the contextual stuff here is a whole lot thinner than it was for big l

its also not what im saying. read harder
there's always the kid in school who draws swastikas on his folders - it's always a him - and tries to claim they're the other way round
i knew a kid that tattooed a swatiska on the bottom of his foot with india ink

There's a band called "No, They're The Good Swastikas" and if you never heard some kid say that in high school, then you must have went to some prissy frou-frou private school
