OK, give me one good reason why it is wrong. Because God says it is wrong? Do you think being gay is a choise? Do you think I can be straight if I want to? NO. You will have to deal with it, we're here, we're queer.
the content of the song and the video (although i found the choice of focusing on a caucasian lover a bit dissonant in the context of the rest of the song/video) are necessary and dangerously ignored by mainstream media. however, the way the lyrics are written make the message sound trite, and the music is unremarkable. that said, i hope deadlee continues to make important music; his message deserves to be heard.
"Just got to be real, man." I admire this guy. The mainstream needs to see a lot more of this stuff. And a lot of us in the 'mainstream' actually WANT to see a lot more of this stuff. Monopolies and advertisers are too cautious.
Who went and ruined my fun by flagging this?! I had to wait another three months to watch it again! (Too lazy to make another acoount for just three months)How is this even offensive?! That's it, I'm going to go flag everything with kissing in it! No double standards!
(Probably not going through with this threat)
(Might flag Aviril Lavigne....just because her music will lower your IQ...Hillary Duff too)
Ask you one thing, and speak with an honest heart.. if this man were not gay would his "rap career" be a viable one? I really wanted to like this but... eh, This man is NOT a rap artist! On the up side his voice reminds me of Ice- T, just a little.
Honestly, I had to force myself to listen to the entire thing. Lyrically it was a mess. pure dribble, and no matter how heartfelt this might have been for the artist there was a failure to connect.
First off, I must say that normally I would never critique a genre that I am not totally familiar with. I think this artist would have probably gone unnoticed (and rightfully so) If it were not for the lyrics being more experimental in nature.
I first saw the Video yesterday on LOGO and thought is was kool. I of course the song is on iTUNES, but not the Vid. "Whatever iTunes!!" Same with Big Gay Heart by the lemmonheads!
I always thought hip hop was just a genre of music, not limited to the heterosexual sexuality, but I guess I was wrong. >__>
I really liked this video, thank you for posting it! I do agree with catajrophe though, it would be cool to see a gay video expressing something other than how gays are often seen as victims...but it was still awesome nonetheless.
the singing is way off, and the "rapping" is a comical attempt. there are other rappers out there who use a more poetic approach and still get a good sounding song, like common and talib kweli.
Some of the comments here dissing Deadlee for being Gay and a poor rapper tell you a lot about the idiots commenting. To them, a rap is only good if it comes at you fast and hard from a hardbody dude. What does that tell you about what these idiots really want?
Dude, I hope you get thrown into prison and raped by a "faggot". You're worthless as a human being. How do you feel about lesbians? I bet you're a hypocrite, like many hip-hoppers, you support "homosexual acts" when they help you get ur nut off.
Glad to see a rap artist come out, but this song lacks the kind of power needed make an impact. It's very personal and that's cool, but gays are already seen as victims...we need Deadlee and other gay rap artists to be strong, secure, proud figures who can throw down the same sexy power that the "straight" rappers do. When people see that we're strong and won't be fucked with, they'll realize we're here to stay.
More like poetry than rap. I don't really like the sound but I support the dude. He's hands down the bravest guy in the game. It's amazing to me how a people that have been so discriminated against can be so homophobic themselves.
I really admire your courage. People who have major averse reactions to homosexuals usually and in most cases are, homosexuals themselves. If not fully homo, at least bi. There are so many humans on this earth and each are unique. There are bound to be people with all sorts of likes and dislikes, and there really isn't anything NORMAL. I commend you.
2 others. so ur not a victim cuz ur Gettin All Yurs.Iraq n Iran Da bros r killed whipped. What Have u done 4 them? U think U got Control? You r not a victm ONLY when all Homos R free!
Dude a friend showed me this thing and the video a bit graphic if you want to put it that way, but the message is clear, a father rejected a son. His own flesh and blood just for a small simple thing. If you cant see that and are pissed just because of the idea of the video and the song. Then....Bug off you bloody sods.
so many rappers are always sayin how they "keep it real" and shit but then you watch this and you realize that THAT'S REAL. writing songs about how much money you have and how much you like "bitches" is just a load of crap. There gotta be SO MANY hip hop artists out there stuck in the closet. It's such a waste...Deadlee keeps it REAL. For real.
as a rapper u shoul dhave rthe skills...were not talkin about pop here...and this is not deadlees best work. its a good start and deserves props but thats all!
i dont wanna see the victim clishees of the gayz. im fed up with it!
Im gay and thankfully not a victim but I'd rather see a cideo about someone struggling with their sexuality than somthing superficial like grilz or what have you. Atleast they finaly put some meaning beck in to rap.
I think you're saying there's not much homophobia in those places.
In New Zealand,we've had for years a transexual and gay members of parliament who were democratically voted in.Georgina our transexual MP was a Mayoress first.
Deadlee's other trax like 'Suk muh gun' and 'No fags allowed' blow my mind as does 'Good Soldier 1' which can bring me to tears man.
I saw this video for the first time on Logo's Click List. When I watched it, I cried. This movie has contributed alot to the Gay community. As a member of that community I have to say this video means alot. I can relate deeply to thie video. My father is the same way. I loved this Video.
I like the smouldering style to it and well, the sadness of it all speaks so loudly. Keep it up lads, I try and make the world more tolerant down here in Oz.
Its tough bein homoloving but cause society makes it so.Suicide aint the way out.Cos to me suicide means they win!!You gotta be stronger and know that life can get better.
For everyone that hates you,there are many more who won't.Maybe this will help someone.I dont know.
As a straight guy I think it's uncomfortable to watch the making out scenes, Is that what its like for gay guys to have to watch mainstream hetero music vids all the time? Wikkid real trakk tho, I identify with the realness and depth of emotion
IM GLAD GAY THUGS ARE COMIN OUT CUZ THE ONE THING THAT I JUS CANT STAND IS THOSE GAY FUCKERS WEN THEY LIE TO GIRLS FACES ITS THE LYING! IF U DONT WANT TO TELL YOUR PARENTS THEN TELL THAT PERSON BEFORE YOU HURT THEM! THATS WHY ALOT OF BLACK! AND OTHER WOMAN GET AIDS/HIV BECUZE OF THESE GUYS ON THE DOWN LOW! AND THE PAGE THAT I SAW THIS VIDEO ON WAS PRETTY BOY AND HE SAYS HES Bi SO HES NOT ALL THE WAY OUT EITHER! BE GAY` BE FREE` BUT DONT BE GAY AND LIE! THATS THE SiN THAT THEIR DOING!
Okay why was this video flagged!? It wasn't flagged earlier this week. Auggh, that makes so angry. Oh well, awesome video.
