A$AP Rocky speaks on Homophobia in Hip-Hop

FI HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY SOMETHING POSITIVE, THEN I'M GONNA TAKEADVANTAGE OF IT. BUT I CAME UP IN A WORLD THAT WAS JUST CRAZY—AND IT WASHECTIC AND KIND OF RADICAL AT THE SAME TIME.

—A$AP  ROCKY

When we think about A$ap Rocky and the reason why we love him, we think about his music, his lyrics and the rappers forward thinking. His creativity goes far beyond just his rap skills and is really trying to make strides when it comes to HIP--HOP and the "gay Issue". 

In the latest issue of Interview Magazine (images below) A$ap Rocky really lets us know what he's thinking. Sat down with Alexander Wang who's clothing features in the spread he kinda just let's it out. 



"​“One big issue in hip-hop is the gay thing. It’s 2013, and it’s a shame that, to this day, that topic still gets people all excited. It’s crazy. And it makes me upset that this topic even matters when it comes to hip-hop, because it makes it seem like everybody in hip-hop is small-minded or stupid—and that’s not the case. We’ve got people like Jay-Z. We’ve got people like Kanye. We’ve got people like me. We’re all prime examples of people who don’t think like that. I treat everybody equal, and so I want to be sure that my listeners and my followers do the same if they’re gonna represent me. And if I’m gonna represent them, then I also want to do it in a good way.”
