Kanye West Says ‘That’s So Gay’ Should Be A Compliment
By Roberta | February 17, 2009
Kanye West says that he thinks the phrase “that’s so gay” should be made into a compliment. Instead of following the mass hordes of people who use the phrase to depict something that they don’t like, he says that we shouldn’t be putting down the gay community.
He says, “Titles are very important. I like to embody titles, y’know, or words that have negative connotations, and explain why that’s good. Take the word gay-like, in hip hop, that’s a negative thing, right? But in the past two, three years, all the gay people I’ve encountered have been, like, really, really, extremely dope. Y’know, I haven’t, like, gone to a gay bar, nor do I ever plan to. But where I would talk to a gay person - the conversation would be mostly around, like, art or design - it’d be really dope.”
He continues, “From a design standpoint, kids’ll say, ‘Dude, those pants are gay.’ But if it’s like, good, good, good fashion-level, design-level stuff, where it’s on a higher level than the average commercial design stuff, it’s, like, gay people that do that. I think that should be said as a compliment. Like, ‘Dude, that’s so good it’s almost…gay.’”
Y’know what’s really gay? Those shoes that he’s been pimping out. See what I did there?
