A$AP Rocky grew up listening to Reggae music.
“I love ’90s fucking Reggae Rap,” he says to Boomshots. “Niggas was killing shit.”
He starts singing “Boom Bye Bye” by Buju Banton. The song has come under criticism for promoting violence towards gay men.
“It’s not really about what he’s saying for me,” A$AP Rocky says.
He says that at the time the song was released, it was not considered controversial. Now that same-sex relationships are more accepted, the Harlem rapper still enjoys the song for what it is.
“Hip Hop was the most homophobic genre of all,” he says. “So
we’re talking about the core of Hip Hop, 1993. The fuck you expect? Buju
wasn’t playing none of that shit. It’s accepted now. I’m open to that. I
love that the world is like that. That’s fine. He made a song in 1993
when that wasn’t okay, and if you ask me if it sounds ill, it does.”

Why is it EVERY FUCKING TIME homosexuality gets forced down my my mental throat everytime I read or hear something in the media!?!?
I don’t give a fuck what lifestyle an individual choose to live. Just don’t parade the shit in a way that people are SUPPOSE to accept it or else. And as far as same sex anything, it’s not more accepted. It’s just more GLORIFIED and constantly pushed in the media to force a subconscious acceptance. In other words, people are being brainwashed by the media and don’t even realize it. Casualties of a weak minded society.
^I co-sign that 100%
@Amaru Well said…I agree with u 100%
Same sex ain’t in the Black community Culture…these white folks can’t give us bullshit and expect us 2 eat it…#FuckAHomo
Kid is like 25 and wants to act like he knows about what was going on in the 90s. Anyway what is the point of this? Is he getting ready to come out the closet?
real talk
Nan, you’re part of the problem.
Real talk, there is no problem. ASAP rocky is a part of the problem. He is slandering hip-hop and out of pocket. The kid isn’t very bright on top of that. It was “Ok” back in 93 to promote hate crimes? And now in 2015 homosexuality is “accepted!?” This dude needs a reality check. And so do you RealTalk.
All this homosexual stuff got out of hand in hiphop when lil Wayne came out with “lollipop”..now media is trying force your kids to be gay..thanks a lot wayne..
You guys who comment here strike me as ignorant idiots half the time. You have no sense of altruism, no understanding of how an overpopulated planet is now manifesting it’s consciousness through homosexuality because us straight folk can’t be bothered to have only one child, or even consider that having none at all isn’t such a bad thing.
You tie things down to culture, make a fuss about issues like this, when all you do is exude a “don’t give a fuck” attitude and then expect people to suddenly give a fuck if they’ve made the decision to be gay.
In the realms of love, live and let live and shut the fuck up – it’s not the last thing on your mind before you sleep.
Lot of things always run through my mind when I hear or see some things about HOMO or whatever. I wonder why they legalized this shit and media always post shit about it, making lot of people who’s not interested in that unGodly type of shit get interest. Like what Nan said, I’m wondering what 25 years old kid is trying to tell us about 90s. Shit is crazy!
The homosexual agenda is being pushed big time in the media now more than ever.. Homosexuality is wrong and it will never ever ever eveeeeeeer be right or agreeable with the natural order of things.. I’m really sick of what’s happening in america and around the world with homosexuality being accepted, and defended. Gay marriages are now allowed in many states, bruce jenner is being applauded and awarded for having a sex change wtf? Its getting crazy in the world. I don’t hate homosexuals I just don’t agree that homosexuality is right
L.O.L
