GLAAD Upset Over Tyler’s VMA Win

Tuesday, August 30 2011 3:09 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Not everyone is happy with Tyler’s Video Music Award victory. GLAAD issued the statement below in regards to the rapper’s 213 anti-gay slurs on his album, Goblin. That is so gay. Oops.

“Rather than providing simply a larger platform, MTV and other networks should educate viewers about why anti-gay and misogynistic language has no place in the music industry today,” said Herndon Graddick, Senior Director of Programs at GLAAD. “Given Tyler’s history of such remarks, viewers and potential sponsors should refrain from honoring homophobia and in the future look to a more deserving artist.”

Phonte On Drake’s BMI Award Dedication

Tuesday, August 30 2011 2:58 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, True Story

In an interview with The Source, Little Brother’s Phonte reacts to Drake’s acknowledgment during his BMI Songwriter Of The Year Award speech this past weekend. He also touched on Drizzy’s reluctance to collaborate with he and 9th Wonder.

You’ve always said Drake was your homie, and he stated in the past that he wanted you on his next album. Is that still happening?
To my knowledge, it’s not happening. We’ve made contact with each other but all of my attempts to make something real happen have led to a dead end. I saw that he dedicated his BMI award to me and while that was a very noble and thoughtful gesture, I’d much rather he had dedicated himself to finishing a verse for one of me and 9th’s songs. That, to me, seems like a more tangible way of showing gratitude. But with that said, I’m still a fan and I think he’s an incredibly talented artist. When ‘Take Care’ drops, he’s got my money.
