Rapper Trick Trick bans gays from buying album

The Hip Hop world is notorious for homophobic attitudes, but Eminem's protégé and fellow rapper Trick Trick takes gay hate to a whole new level.

In an interview with All Hip Hop, Trick Trick said: “Homosexuals are probably not gonna like this album. I don’t want your faggot money any goddamn way. I don’t like [homosexuality]. Carry that shit somewhere else.”

The rapper also despises society's acceptance of homosexuality: “It’s just that every time that you turn on the TV, that sissy shit is on. And they act like it's fucking okay. The world is changing for the worst [sic] when shit like that happens. And I address that issue. I address it hard as hell.”

    • You don't want gay people buying your album?

      Oh, honey! Don't you worry none!

      SDLN said it best: "Pretty harsh language from someone I've never heard of"

    • I think Trick Trick may be confusing his sissyphobia with homophobia. Cause NOBODY likes sissies. Homos are just regular people unless they also happen to be sissies. Then as far as I'm concerned they are fair game, cause like I said, NOBODY likes sissies.

    • This has to be a first. I totally agree with everyone's opinion who commented on trick, trick's stupidity. Who cares anyway trick trick. NOONE. Rap anymore is just loud base coming from some idiots car who wants everyone to know he can't hear anymore.

      I wonder, does trick trick wear his pants below his butt? I'm amazed at the men? who think this is some kind of cool. You know in prison only those who wear their pants below their ass are somebodies bitch. Wonder if these guys out in public with one hand on their pants so they can walk knows this.

      Anyway, agree with those that said its latency that causes him to protest too much. Maybe trying to fade the heat, ya think? And trick trick certainly sounds like he has spent some time on the street selling what he's got.

      I bet with his protestations he is wanting gays to buy his stuff. How many gays will buy it now that he tells them not to just to see what his music is like? Sounds like a plea for help trick trick. Get a good counselor and get honest. That is the first step. I think Dr. Phill is not busy.

    • What a narrow minded ass-hole. However hip hop has not been a bust the past decade. On the contrary it has risen from the ashes sinceits biggest stars (Tupac and Biggie) died. The spoken word of A Tribe Called Quest was brought back by Kanye West. for all you thugs who like regular rap about drugs pimps hoes and sizzurp, Lil Wayne has been the mix tape KING going on two years. My last statement, the last 3 years Hip-Hop has outsold any other kind of music by a far margin.

    • Net Working My Book will be out 03 - 09 : Obama Time !!!!!! The Future of Our World Will it be W.W.3. Armageddon ? or Change.!!!!!

      Sub title : 911 Count Down to New World Order 20/20.21. 2012.13.14. New Beginnings

      There is Pros. & Cons to every thing people is going to do what the Hell they want to.

      Look @ Wall Street Corruption , which is the Biggest News they have Rocked The World Gay or Straight. Bible or No Bible.

      People divided Fall , People Unite stand Tall & is Strong. Look @ How strong The Gay & Islam Community is , The Biggest Election in History made Obama 1st.Black President

      We have the worse Time in History & there voices are #1 in the News over all that in all the head line's Lower Gas Price's & The Gay's Speaking Out etc.....

      Just like when Clinton took office # 1 voice heard The Gay's , all this Game a distraction like going to War in Iraq instead of Ben

      911 was the Biggest scam of our time's , that ever Hit The Earth All was involve The Pres. to Vs. Pres. on down

      But that's not talked about which is the core of the problem , which nothing can be done about it any way Illuminati New World Order can't be stopped by No Man

      They are The Rich's Smartest People in the World they Run Wall - Street The President's & All The World Leader's & All The World Leader's are apart.

      With every thing that is going on , Gay's #1 topic in the News another Big conspiracy , to keep The World off focus as they push Billion's & Trillion's in there Pocket

      Wall - Street , The Gov. Fed. Which is the Central Bank's , The Fed. is just there name they are a separate entity from the Gov.

      It don't make no difference on How much Money the Fed. Gov. give them they going to do what they want to & Help when they want to.

      That's why? we are where we @ today , collapsing as a World to make a New World again. {NWO}

      As plan 200yrs. ago for us to Rise & Fall. What happen after 200yrs. 911

      2001 as plan & as you see it's been all down Hill since & will cont.... they may Help out the Homeowners & give Job's after they have killed Million's

      That's the plan to get Obama back elected & then go for the Kill again , He is only doing what He is told

      He is Illuminati & are vs.as well {CFR} Counsel Of Foreign Relation's , FBI , CIA , Military , Police as well as Bush & Chaney all of Wall - Street , & The World

      Saudi , China , Russia Iran , EU , All The Middle - East etc.... So you see The Picture these are the people that Run The World

      That's why they can't be stopped , the best you can do is be wise of the time's & do your Best to Survive them as said as they are

      P.S. The News of The Gay's for example they can be easily paid off like they pay every body else off Gov. on Down

      More likely they {Wall- Street} have them doing this for a distraction any way

      So while you looking @ one thing talking about another , they doing something else.

      They are not just a step or two ahead , they are 20 - 30 Step's ahead , like in a Game of Chess they are @ the End Game

      40 - 50 moves deep Ahead of you & all you know is today's News with speculation's

      It's Check Mate & {We}The World didn't know they {We} were playing Chess.!!!!! Hello.!!!!!!!

    • why does anybody even care? this guy is a huge loser in an increasingly boring industry. Hip hop and rap has been in drastic decline since 1999, and is so sad anymore that people are literally completely writing it off as music or art on any level, and i would have to agree. this bum has to remember that at one point, blacks were being treated exactly the same way as he is treating homosexuals. grow up trick trick, maybe then you can understand how dumb you are

    • Hip Hop isn't dead. It's alive and well. It's mainstream Hip Hop (and Trick Trick) that's devoid of any substance.

      He doesn't even seem to realize how much he sounds like a racist. He immediately reminds me of Johnny Rebel...How sad...

    • Everyone who disagrees is a mooron. People are comparing slavery/racism to homosexuals, are you people out of your fucking minds. Ive been around gay men all my life, you see one you see them all. I dont give a fuck what you do with your penis and what cavity it is inserted into but dont compare slavery/racism to this idea that its normal to be homosexual, ITS NOT. If it was normal there would'nt be reproduction and your dumb ass'es wouldnt be here to promote it.

      i don't know why some shit for brains talentless hack is rewarded with our attention just for making asinine comments like this. everyone should just ignore this jerk. which everyone was already doing in the first place.

      no one asked for your approval and no one asked for your disapproval. please go away now.

    • trick trick?? wow. well with a name like that, i'm sure people hang on your every word. hey trick, remember when people not that long ago called the integration between blacks and whites in our society "changing for the worse, when shit like that happens". remember when whites didn't want blacks to buy their music, use their restrooms, drink from the same fountain, sit on the same bus seat? remember that? oh, no probably not as the uneducated, materialistic, American embarassment that you are.

    • i guess this isn't really that shocking. there are a lot of ignorant people in the world especially here in the u.s.
      & i'm sure that all of the attention we're giving this dummy is all playing into the marketing hype behind his album.
      sadly, homophobia is one of the last socially accepted forms of bigotry.

      maybe he should switch his name to dumb dumb.

    • I just recently found out that one of my teammates from my college football team is gay. Dude was a stud too.I feel bad for him thinking that he has to hide it.

      Certain groups of people in the Black culture (jocks and rappers amongst others) are merciless towards gay people. That is a shame and so unfair.

    • Ridiculous. It's hard to believe that some of the people who've endured the world's most vicious forms of oppression are becoming more frequently known to be the most aggressive oppressors and it's ironic that I have to say this as a black woman.

      What's laughable about this guy is that he's an affiliate of Eminem which, for me, right away leaves little to be expected from any such camp members either artistically or in terms of social awareness. Producing a record made primarily of hate speech makes this dude the perfect equivalent of a neo-nazi or something close to...

      I hope he comes to terms with his sexuality some day and realizes that it is nothing worth being ashamed of :)

      So check out the POS that is his MySpace page (do not friend him) then lets never speak of it again. . .

      EXTRA POINTS IF YOU CAN FIND THE OBVIOUS PICTURE OF TRICK WITH A GAY MAN, Yes, a gay guy.

    • Who the hell is Trick Trick and why should anyone give any semblance of a fuck about what he has to say?

      I'm a hip hop fan and only heard about this guy a couple of days ago. I can't say that I have any interest in him or his music, even if you exclude this interview. Yeah, there's a lot of homophobia in the genre and culture but I think this guy is just being a dick for the sake of being one not because he genuinely feels this way. No one knows who he is and what's the best way to remedy that? By saying something so outlandish that it catches everyone's attention. It's sad that some artists don't get recognized by their talents but by being "that guy who said [whatever]". To be honest, I don't believe that he feels this way and even if he does, oh well. I think this is a marketing ploy to bring attention to himself to get his name out there so more people would buy the album.

      Whether he's sincere with these comments or not, he's still a fucking idiot that no one should bother taking seriously.

    • I mean, you cant possibly compare the gay struggle for rights to the african american struggle at all...
      a large majority of people in all races (white, black, asian, hispanic etc) are against gays totally. of course trick trick was out of line bashing gays in such a manner. however, Proposition 8 was voted on in a year with record turnout (about 65%) and it still passed. And i highly doubt that a huge number of gays and gay-supporters failed to get to those voting booths in California. The fact that Proposition 8 still passed shows at the very least our nation isnt ready for gays...getting married.

    • ignorance. It seems that this guy can't make a name for himself through his music, so he has to go say something that will cause some controversy so he can have his 15 minutes of fame. What's messed up is that he will probably get some attention from this and people might actually buy his album. I'll say it again, ignorance.

And what... he thinks his album is so great that we straight people will run to the stores to buy it and won't find enough copies coz' all the gay people have bought them up?!

So all of a sudden African Americans are represented as a whole by this dumb ass since he happens to be black and does not like gay people. Well that’s not racist at all!

    • Horrible technique to gain exposure. Hate has never sold very well. Unless he's planning to sell to the Westboro Baptist Church crowd, I don't think he'll make Gold on this album.

      To the people who think this is the embodiment of Hip-Hop, this is far from the truth. Real Hip-Hop has been and currently is underexposed in American culture, possibly to help marginalize or demonize African-American culture.

      Instead, they use rappers like 50 Cent, Young Jeezy, etc. to represent the music of Black culture. To find real Hip-Hop, you have to go looking for it. Many are turned off from the plastic representation of the music and therefore generalize the whole genre.

      For better representations of actual Hip-Hop music based on the origins of the original movement, listen to:

      Outkast, Lupe Fiasco, Atmosphere, Sean Price, Heiroglyphics, Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Technique, El-P, Flobots, and more.

      Those are just some people I happen to like. There are many more people who still embody the origins of the genre without selling out to the mainstream. Obviously this man above is not among them.

      Gay people won’t be “copping” his album. I don’t think anyone… heterosexual or homosexual would be buying it!

      I don’t even know who this idiot is!

      I just hope this obvious “controversial” publicity stunt doesn’t get too much attention.

      Get a LIFE Trick! No one is falling for this "trick".

      spends way to much time on the subject!!!!! He's

    • I'm sick of hearing gay-friendlys comparing homosexuality to race. Blacks don't choose to be black, they can however choose to condemn perversion.

      I understand that not all gays choose to be gay, and I try to empathize with "true" homos. This is however difficult to do when attention craved homosexuals perform lewd acts in the streets at gay rallies in the name of the gay rights movement.

      There is negative stigma attached to homosexuality, and "true" homos have "pervert" homos to thank for this. There needs to be a split in the homosexual ranks with "true" homos taking a more conservative, less pervasive stance on homosexuality. "True" homos need to stop condoning perversion and start denouncing it, VERY publicly, if they wish to gain respect for their movement.

    • The best reaction is to promote the album on gay and lesbian websites and have a large chunk of sales coming from the population he is calling out. Then we can ask what he did with his money, and how he likes knowing that faggits paid for his bentley.

    • With the state of hip hop in today
      low sells
      decreasing tolerance for the genre
      even by lifelong fans of it
      and the fact
      that I have no idea
      who the hell this guy is
      and from the looks of it
      not many others do
      he should probably not be against anyone
      wanting to listen to the crap he's putting out
      anyway

      I feel sad for him and people like him

    • Hmm... kinda feel bad for this fellow. He's so pissed off over something that quite frankly shouldn't be any of his business anyway. His music must more miserable than them emo song (I love ALL music btw). Oh well. While he waste his energy and time on hate, I'm gonna still be gay!

    • One: This guy has nothing to do with Hip Hop. There's a stark difference between Hip Hop and "Gansta" Rap and this guy is obviously touting the mantra of the latter, i.e. money, guns, violence, and above all, ignorance.

      Two: The irony here is disturbingly amusing.

    • Who is this guy? His rap music is probably crap anyway. I never even heard of his name before this. I dont think he should be trying to stop anyone from buying his music if he wants to make it big with a name like "Trick Trick"..,............... cough (more like "Prick Prick")

    • What a total idiot...

      This fool just wants free publicity...

      How many GAYS do you know who were gonna buy his album anyway....?

      "0 G"

      Z E R O G A Y S

      So..... Let's all just ignore this fool and let him disappear...

      At least Usher is totally cool about gays.

      I met him once and he seemed like a really cool guy in person too.
