Does Kanye bufu John Legend?

John 'Legend'Kanye West is gay

Man, I had this all ready to go this morning, but I lost it before I could save, blue screen o' death-style. Those fucking TIs at MTV must be inside my computer.

Anyway, these quotes are from Big Mama's Boy's interview with Sway last week on MTV. Watch as I break them down to better illustrate the utter teh gheyness contained within.

After my parents got divorced and we moved to Chicago when I was 3, I would go see my father on Christmas, spring break and summer. My father was my everything, but during the rest of the time, my mother was my everything. Of course there's a good side to that, but the bad side of that is that people call you a mama's boy.

Can the ridonkulous levels of teh gheyness in the black community be attributed to the fact that basically no black kids have fathers anymore? I mean, it seems obvious almost to the point of being silly, but that doesn't mean it isn't true. I guess either way it's all the black woman's fault.

And what happened was it made me kind of homophobic, 'cause I would go back and question myself, like, "Damn, why does everyone else walk like this, and I walk like this?" People be like, "Yo fam, look at you. Look at how you act."

It gets to the point that when you go to high school and you wasn't out in the streets like that, and you ain't have no father figure, or you wasn't around your father all the time, who you gonna act like? You gonna act like your mother. ... And then everybody in high school be like, "Yo, you actin' like a f--. Dog, you gay?" And I used to deal with that when I was in high school.

Hmm, when I was in high school, obviously I wasn't "out in the streets like that." Also, I had a Pa, but like most people's Pa, he was much more of just a dude that lived in my house. And yet, no one has accused me of being teh ghey even once. Is it because I drink High Life 30-at-a-time and wear the same clothes I sleep in? I don't know.

Also, think back to your childhood. Usually, there were one or two dudes that everybody thought might be teh ghey. They might have talked funny or had a tendency to always be wearing clean tennis shoes. Has there ever been a case when one of these dudes didn't turn out to be gay?

If you see something and you don't want to be that because there's such a negative connotation toward it, you try to separate yourself from it so much that it made me homophobic by the time I was through high school. Anybody that was gay I was like, "Yo, get away from me." And like Tupac said, "Started hangin' with the thugs," and you look up and all my friends were really thugged out. It's like I was racing to try to find that constant masculine role model right there, right in front of me.

Ah, so he reacts to being called teh ghey by trying to act real masculine. I'm pretty sure this is the same phenomenon that drives certain teh ghey dudes to grow those Husker Du mustaches.

I would use the word "f--" and always look down upon gays. But then my cousin told me that another one of my cousins was gay, and I loved him, he's one of my favorite cousins. And at that point it was kind of like a turning point when I was like, "Yo, this my cousin, I love him and I been discriminating against gays."

You know, it was right around this point in the interview (and of course the TIs over at Def Jam had it all excised) when you could hear his handlers yelling from off-screen like, "Nooooo!" Obviously, they were afraid he was about to say something.

My theory is that they thought he was about to confess that he's been having anal with John Legend for the past year and a half. Nullus.

But everybody in hip-hop discriminates against gay people. Matter of fact, the exact opposite word of "hip-hop," I think, is "gay." Like yo, you play a record and if it's wack, "That's gay, dog!" And I wanna just come on TV and just tell my rappers, just tell my friends, "Yo, stop it fam."

The word gay may not be the "antonym of hip-hop," as he puts it in the actual interview if not this heavily doctored transcript, but is it really that wrong to suggest that gay people are less hip-hop than straight people, just like Indian people are less hip-hop than black people?
