“Yeah, That Tuxedo Mighta Been A Little Guido…”
AUDIO By Gotty™ on January 14, 2009 at 11:48 pmI was going to skip right past this latest viral video ploy by 50 to assert that Kanye bats from the other side of the plate. But, as you’ll read below, somebody took the time to type up similar thoughts as mine so I figured it might be a worthy topic for discussion.
Found in the inbox, sent by JDW…
People are now labeling Kanye gay again because of the new clip 50’s desperate ass released. Basically, Kanye is saying that he learns to dress by watching the gays. What’s funny is people are making a big deal but…
Yves Saint Laurent was gay.
Gianni Versace was gay.
Marc Jacobs — Art director for LV is gay as the day is long.
Jean Paul Gaultier is gay.
Giorgio Armani is gay.
Dudes behind Dolce & Gabbana.. gayThese are not speculations. These are straight up facts. I can go on and on. The general population is so fucking stupid. Gays have been dressing them since forever. I hate me a homophobe lol.
Interestingly true so it’s hard to disagree with what’s been said.
Moi?
– I agree with Kanye. Whether it’s conscious or trying to do it on the sly, I think we all (or at least I do) take notice of the clothing homosexual men wear. Gays are usually meticulous about their attire, “shitty sharp” © Daddy Gotty™. I’m not subscribing to wearing anything extra smedium or sequined shirts. But there’s style lacking in our culture when it comes to our haberdashery. In Black music, fashion has slackened over the years and no more is flair a part of what we or our artists do. Instead, they depend on jewelry, gaudy logos and what it cost instead of what it says about them.
But it’s not just within music. The dress code for men has succumbed to “casual Friday” — sweatshirts & clothing that should generally be relegated to the house — being worn seven days per week. No longer do men wear overcoats, overshoes (I have a pair) & fedoras. I’d rather see men stylishly & respectfully dressed as opposed to a bunch of dirtbags & slouches.
Don’t get it twisted. I wear bright colors & odd color combos in certain articles of clothing. I peruse fashion magazines frequently. But, I know my limits & am well aware that slim-fitting pieces that work on models & mannequins might not be suitable for every day wear. Everything homosexuals rock ain’t my steez, word to this cat I used to work with wearing pony hair boots.
– While my gaydar is pretty weak, nothing about Kanye screams “I’m here. I’m queer. Get used to it!” Aside from his fashion sense & risks, he’s always portrayed this air of emotion that leads me to believe he’s in touch with his inner Venus. He was raised by his mother, who encouraged him to be outgoing & artistic. Obviously, clothing has become one of those outlets of expression for Kanye. For a music that thrives off machismo & lacks any femininity period, perhaps it’s good that Mr. West continue to push what’s vogue.
Now, a word from Lafayette…

LOL plus I don’t think a gay dude would be like “gays.” He’d prolly be a lil more politically correct or something, making sure he use the newest PC term. and he’d…waitaminute…DOMINO?! Mr. Sweet Potato Pie in the Strays? hahahahaha what was I sayin? haha
LOL. Gotty, you fuxx with True Blood??! That’s my joint. Been looking for something new since The Wire wrapped. I hear David Simon is in production for a new HBO series called “Treme” focusing on musicians in post-Katrina New Orleans. Sounds interesting.
Now back to the topic at hand…I’ve seen my style change over the past couple of years. Being that I have to wear business casual wear 4 days out of every week I’ve gone from baggy slacks, dress shirts, tie and no jacket to more form fitting pants, cardigans, v-necks, etc. But I think my change in style is more a result of getting older than peeping what gay guys wear. Though I must admit, them niggas stay fresh.
True Blood is that deal

Can’t say you didn’t know who u was fuckin with…

I’m not big on style or following trends and shit. I wear what I wanna wear. I’m pretty savvy on what’s appropriate, what’s in, and where to get it, but i honestly could give less of a fuck. Like I told Gotty, I wear Air Maxes with a suit and dare somebody to say something.
Never watched True Blood either, but that LaFayette dude is a fucking g for force feeding the dude.
I can appreciate when a cat has style, gay or straight. This kid I went to high school with was the flyest cat in school & was always surrounded by dimes. My gaydar’s kinda off too, cause it took me till senior year to realize what team he was batting for. Kid’s name was Dhalimu (Da-Lee-Moo) like his parents set him up or some shit lol. It’s like naming your son Jeeves lol
And this set of strays looks like pot luck. Nice lol. I needed that Philly’s Most & I’m snatching up that Kris Kross for nostalgia’s sake. The title track was kinda tough.
Same here Amp. Shit blew my mind when I found out. I’m still cool w/ dude cuz he ain’t all the way out there with it.
I’ll dress up a bit when the situation calls for it, but other than that it’s Tee’s, Jeans, & Nikes. Fuck a trend – I wear it regardless.
“Like I told Gotty, I wear Air Maxes with a suit and dare somebody to say something.”

something.
-co-sign AMP,

I really dont see how someone can think Kanye is gay but whatever.
I just assumed all clothing designers were gay…. not gonna stop me from wearing it. Fresh gear is fresh gear no matter who the guy sleeps with at night

============
b/c 50 said so lol.
It’s a desperate attempt to create buzz for his project.
Air Maxes and suit = Hip Hop’s Doctor Who
True Blood is the show
Anna P should be naked all the time, while grocery shopping, sking
50 is just mad because Kanye has a dope album out that is stealing away the attention that 50 so desperately craves. I ain’t dressing like a gay dude ever; I dress for comfort, function, and personal taste. I’ve slimmed down a lot so I wear slimmer jeans and xl shirts, as opposed to 3 belt-sizes larger than my waste and 3x shirts.Hiphop ain’t about the labels that you wear, it’s how you flip any label and make that shit hiphop.
Kanye is absolutely gay. No doubt in my mind.
I cant see how someone could think he’s NOT gay. I dont have a problem with gays, i got several openly gay friends, but i have a real problem with him not being honest about it. Sinceriously. Get outta the closet, that shits weak.
As for dressing like homo’s, or paying attention to what the homos are wearing………… GGGGGEEEEEEEETTTTTTHHHHHEEEEEEEEFFFFFFUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKOOOOOOOUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I dress like a goddam motherfucking heterosexual man and i always will.
Kanye West should have copped a beating for biting all the Lo-Lifes style and then saying he created Polo in hip hop…. fuck dude, yr way outta line.
I have no fucking respect for kanye west, and its not because of the gay thing. its the fashion thing (particularly gay approach to it) and the diva pop star bullshit.
oh yeah, and the fact he cant rap.
@ Freddank
“dress like a goddam motherfucking heterosexual man and i always will.”
Oh you do? What does a heterosexual man dress like? I’m sure gay people can dress like heterosexual men if they wanted.
Does a heterosexual man where suits? Tracksuits? White T & Jeans? Baggy ass, boring ass, my ass is stuck in the 90s white vest & khakis?
Hell, if you’re wearing designer clothes chances are it was designed by someone who is likely to be gay, or made by a company founded by gay men… Isn’t it ironic.
I posted more on this on my blog *click my name*
“Fresh gear is fresh gear no matter who the guy sleeps with at night”
Truth.
“…T-Shirt, Levi’s is my only disguise…”
U can keep yr “Queer Eye For the Straight Guy” stuck-in-the-late-nineties man-scaping metro-sexual nonsense.
(btw that pic of 50 with the cut off shirt and tie blowing in the wind is one of the goddam gayest things i’ve ever seen in hip hop)
Lo-Lifes clothing fiends is legit, everything else is more or less homo (no homo)
I dont care what he or 50 say.
Looking at this video made me conclude Kanye is a fag.
He trying to deny it but its clear by just the way he express himself.
Good post. Needed to be said.
