Homophobic Rapper Trick Trick Doesn't Want Queers Buying His Album

Eminem bud and frequent collaborator Trick Trick let loose a torrent of homophobic invectives to All Hip Hop today, telling the magazine that he doesn't want gay people to buy his album:

“I’ma [sic] go on the record right now with this. Homosexuals are probably not gonna like this album, I don’t want your fagot money any goddamn way. I don’t like it [homosexuality]. Carry that shit somewhere else.”

It gets better.

"Trick Trick explained that his anger comes from what he feels is mainstream society’s growing promotion of homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle.

“It’s just that every time that you turn on the TV, that sissy shit is on,” Trick told AllHipHop.com. “And they act like its fucking okay. The world is changing for the worst when shit like that happens. And I address that issue. I address it hard as hell.”

On the self-titled album track called "Trick Trick," the Detroit rapper hurls vitriolic bars against gay activists Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O’Donnell, referring to them as “dyke bitches” and promising to send a “scud missile right through their fucking cruise ship.”
The album features appearances by a whole host of hip-hop stars including Eminem, Ice Cube, Kid Rock, Proof, Esham, Dr. Dre , Guilty Simpson, and Royce Da 5’9.

We have no problem boycotting his album, he is even encouraging it! Just be sure to tell your straight friends (Trick Trick's target market) to boycott as well!

You can contact Trick Trick or leave him a blog post via his myspace page.

If you really want to encourage a boycott, any retail outlet stocking this album should be targeted. If they want to make money off this, why should we give them money for anything else?

Wow, he's just trying to drum up publicity from an album that's probably no good anyway. He's mad at the gaining acceptance of gay lifestyles? I'm mad at the phoney ass "gangsta" lifestyle he and other mainstream rappers are still trying to push. Ugh, stop giving hip hop a bad name.

Well guys its important not to hate him for his skin color. You must remember he doesn't represent blacks nor hip-hop, he represents himself, and for that he is an idito.

Anonymous "he is a closet homo" are you suggesting trick trick is looking for a treat? sorry i couldn't resist.

i never heard of this rapper, probably he's nobody, and i think nobody buys his album, that's why he wanted some attention by making controversial comments, probably nothing else to it.

Oh this ignorant mess will get his in the end. Horrible things happen to horrible people....for example: Drive By's...hmmm...that wouldn't be such a bad thing in my eyes. The world does not need hate!

T R Xands,

I don't resent his skin color, I resent the community that supports him. This is the same community that supported Prop 8. When my black niece tells me that had she lived in CA she would have blindly followed others in her community and voted for Prop 8, knowing full well that I am gay, I am concerned that my community is being targeted by that community.

It's the hatred I feel from that community (and this idiot is one) that has made me resentful. I am beginning to put it on par with the Republican Party. Sure there are some GOPers who support us, but the majority don't.

I'd love to see more of these people shown to be what they are. They condemn themselves without us having to say a thing.

I had never heard of this cheap Trick Trick until I read the article just a few minutes ago. I don't know who he is but I do know that he is not someone I will listen to or give any creedance to.

I still stand by my 20 year old thinking regarding Hip-Hop and Rap: Neither belong in any classification under the heading of Music.
To me it is just a medium for people who cannot sing or play an instrument to get up on stage and fulfill some feeling of inadaquacy that is deep seated in their personality. And that has nothing to do with music.

Mr. Trick or what ever his real name is, will never get a penny of mine and I am glad that will make him happy. I will also pray for him and his hate mongering mouth and wish all of the best things for him. I guess he is probably (a) sick; (b) a homosexual himself; or (C) was abused as a child. At any rate, he does deserve our prayers and best wishes. After all, if we do this, we will be the one that is in God's graces for our kindness and compassion and not the one who spreads hate for money.

Good luck, Mr. Trick, or what ever your name is.

Anonymous I appreciate your support but I think it is wrong even though you yourself are black to highlight those stereotypes.

thevofl, This homophobic idiot does not represent the whole African American community. He is an unknown in the hip hop industry and is looking for controversy to sell albums. Too bad he is doing it in such an uncouth & ignorant way. He's looking at the economy and thinking without controversy he'll sell 100 units. Not excusing his comments but I think he just put his record label in the red.
Please, do not group all of us in the same category. I am a heterosexual college educated African American woman and I was saddened when I found out that Prop 8 was passed. Continue to fight for your rights as an American and keep your head up.

wow any one who can say this is just ignorant!!

What really irritates me is that members of the gay community particularly deep in hiphop culture think that it has no effect on the opinions of its demographic; here in Australia the native population identify strongly with gangsta culture; the result is blatant homophobia, public disorder, substance abuse and violence. This shit needs to be banned.
