killer mike raps el-p produces "R.A.P. Music"

In prison slang "fuckboy" and "punk" mean basically the same thing

"punk" is ancient homo argot

About 20 years ago a couple of dumb redneck guys were often at the lake house down the road from my inlaws and they would set off fireworks late at night and constantly yell "FUCK" all the time so my wife and her family all started calling anyone who was loud out in the woods 'the fuck boys'.

I was super confused when I heard the first RTJ record and didn't know how they picked up slang that my 50-something midwestern mother-in-law invented.

you can go back just a couple of years earlier in the killer mike discography and find some much-less-veiled homophobic terms. "fuckboy" is a step up.

I've got some bad news about ATCQ

i was enjoying BORN LIKE THIS the other day until "batty boyz" came on, this shit is everywhere

yeah that blatant homophobia is hard to ignore, especially in dancehall

i say dancehall cause that's where doom got the batty boyz slang from

yeah it was basically the f-word equivalent at my school

oops Killer Mike's got Chappelle on his new track

DBNS

That was really disappointing to see. Feels like a misreading of a large part of the audience he's gained since Run the Jewels blew up, but then again I see a lot of uncritical praise for the songs on Twitter so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not sure how big the Anti-Chappelle Rap fan contingent is

The Chappelle intro is easy to skip at least. It's gross but not really surprising - KM hasn't taken issue at all with TI's creepiness about his daughter or any of that, BFFs with Bill Maher, etc..

not to mention appearing on NRA TV

I can understand that appearance, as he believes in Black gun ownership as a means of self-defense given the lack of support from police, which makes total sense to me in the current climate. He was a bit naive to think the NRA wouldn't pervert why he was actually appearing, for their own reasons, which is why he apologized afer.
