U.S. Rapper Trick Trick Tells Gays Not to Buy His Homophobic Album
The rapper Trick Trick,who is a long-time collaborator with Eminem, has a new album out called The Villain. He tells music site All Hip-Hop:
"I’ma go on the record right now with this. Homosexuals are probably not gonna like this album. Fa**ots hate me and I don’t give a f**k. I don’t want your fa**ot money any goddam way. I don’t like it. Carry that shit somewhere else.… It’s just that every time that you turn on the the TV, that sissy s**t is on. And they act like it’s f***ing okay. The world is changing for the worst when s**t like that happen. And I address that issue. I address it hard as hell…"
According to music site Gigwise, "'The Villain', which is out now, contains a wide range of homophobic lyrics. In one song, Trick Trick refers to talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and... Rosie O’Donnell as 'dyke bitches' and promises to send a 'scud missile right through their fucking cruise ship.'"
Koch Records is the largest independent record label in the U.S. In the U.S. it is distributed by Epic Records.
Oh, this will be good. *Not*
And why would anyone buy his most likely shitty album? Never even heard of piece of shit...

Well, isn't he a class act. Then again, I do prefer to know I'm hated, rather than finding out people are talking behind my back or donating to hateful causes behind my back.

'real men' are not threatened by us 'homos'...he sounds like a redneck
from the deep south...how ironic.

I suppose we're supposed to get up in arms about this, but to be honest, he sounds like someone who is desperate to create some kind of controversy, in the hopes of achieving record sales via publicity that he can't achieve by talent. The whole thing smacks of calculated PR. I'd recommend ignoring him and watching his album sink to the bottom of the charts when he finds that his homophobia isn't the hot topic in 'Time' magazine after all.

I like that these guys ALWAYS use the Godfather typeface because it looks "hard." Oh you're a villain? That's so badass! Seriously, who designed the cover? Cause they could use a f**kin' f**got!

Yet there is a market for his garbage.
Honestly, though... have you ever heard a black person listening to rap music? I personally think that rap music is the worlds largest joke pulled on totally un-hip white boys. When you hear it driving by you, look at who's behind the wheel. Ain't no brother! It's always some stoopid, white boy in his hoodie with the crooked baseball cap. Think about it! Sean Combs! Classy! Impeccably dressed! Andre3000! Style! Hell, even look at this dirt bag homophobe! Tailored suit and tie. The audience? Angry white boys who can't pull their pants up!
Also, have you ever seen anyone smiling while listening to rap music? It's IRRITATING. PERIOD. If I had to listen to it, I certainly would be scowling, too.
Anyhow.
Rap music just stinks. Period.

I have never even heard of of Trick Trick, it sounds like a tired designer drug from the 90's. I bet his record sales still will not make the top 100.

Oh, I guess this is one of the fine people in the black community that Jasmyne Cannick says we should have reached out to in order to get Prop 8 passed.

Overturned.

And what about Epic Records role in distributing this hate? Maybe they need a little economic reminder (boycott).

"Rap Music" is an oxymoron. And this character is a REAL moron. Fodder for angry white boys who won't take their pants off (but secretly long to.)

It's a pity that it's so difficult in the US to seize even this kind of 'art' and even if it's just a vehicle for someone to get away with hate speech.

I’ma go on the record right now with this. [Blacks] are probably not gonna like this album. [Blacks] hate me and I don’t give a f**k. I don’t want your [N-word] money any goddam way. I don’t like it.

The album must not have sold very well since its release in September so he is trying to dig up controversy to bolster sales. Let's not give it to him.

I'm sorry but is that KOCH right there down at the bottom in big red outline letters pronounced like COCK?
mixed messages.

Why stop by not buying his hate filled garbage? Extend his request to anything sold or distributed by Epic -- I wonder what other "artists" (a term that thanks to crap like this album has lost all meaning) would be affected?
Posted by: Nick | Nov 12, 2008 9:21:44 AM
I agree with Sasha, it's best to ignore this douchebag.

If Trick Trick is so straight, why does he like the taste of my cum so much? Not as much as his mom does of course...

Um, ChrisDC, I think you just proved pretty clearly by your post that you're not an educated person with morals.
Seriously, to anyone else tempted to prove their "education" and "morals" by writing out the n-word in full and in caps - STOP THIS FUCKING RACIST SHIT. JUST BECAUSE SOME BLACK PEOPLE (LIKE SOME WHITE PEOPLE) ARE HOMOPHOBIC IDIOTS, DOES NOT MEAN WE HAVE TO DESCEND TO THEIR LEVEL. YOU MAKE YOURSELVES CONTEMPTIBLE WHEN YOU POST THE N-WORD, AND YOU GIVE ALL GAY PEOPLE A BAD NAME.
So, stop. And to any gay black guys who post here, I apologise on behalf of all white gay people for what are (I hope) a minority of racist gay idiots.

I'm glad he warned me, cause you know I was just rushing to iTunes to get, what's his name?, oh, yes, Trick Trick's latest CD.
I agree, Sasha, descending to his level benefits no one, but when the F-word gets dropped on us, whoever's delivering it shouldn't be too surprised to get a comparably offensive word tossed back at them. The best thing would be for his little sales ploy to get zero attention.
