recently a guy i know's been at the center of a 'gay rapper' controversy -- basically he's been on the local battle rap circuit for a few years, has a slight lisp and has been dressing more loud/hipsterish lately, decided to respond to gay rumors by spitting some o_O innuendo at a battle to throw an opponent off his game. then when video of the battle got online, it ended up all over worldstarhiphop, thisis50 as 'the gay battle rapper'. he says he's straight so i dunno how he's dealing with all this but it's pretty nuts.

not the first time I've heard that proferred... I dunno, it's not really inaccurate (gay people in the entertainment industry?! you don't say) as long as it's not couched in weird conspiracy theory terms

Not explicitly gay but not the straightest thing either. Video is banned from Korean TV supposedly because the song title is a slang phrase. Diplo did the beat.

i don't know if a lot got lost in translation or if that was intended to come off as completely bizarre as it did. i'm guessing somewhere in between.
― lag∞n affiliated (The Reverend), Monday, 30 January 2012 03:11 (twelve years ago) link
It's a very literal translation, so it reads weirder than it is. But the song is also very weird because it is a brag rap song but the stuff they are bragging about is weird! Like TOP's "my eyelashes are natural not the result of disgusting heavy makeup" thing, which if you think about it means he is comparing himself either to makeup-wearing guys or to (hot?) girls. Or GD's stuff about stage presence and charisma followed up by BUT AT NIGHT, I'M SO LONELY.
Also, the fact that it's not super straight but overcompensates with tons of playboy bunny girls, lol.
In context it's slightly less weird, because all the stuff they are bragging about is actually stuff that really did make them super duper famous in Korea, as part of the mainstream idol group BigBang (whose touchstones are "being crazy", a confidence/insecurity divide, depression/bipolar disorder, and gay/transgender subtext). But it's still really weird to see that stuff in a hip hop song, and the styling is also, pretty bizarre.
