Exclusive: Lord Jamar says that his words were taken out of context after he posted on Instagram about Kanye West last year.
When Lord Jamar posted on Instagram in January 2013 about a male model wearing a dress and wrote, “Y'all Cee where the Kanye ? is takin us right? #halfafag,” he said that people took his statement out of context.
“Everybody saying that I called [Kanye West] half a ? and all this type of ? ,” Lord Jamar says during an exclusive interview with HIpHopDX. “Like the original thing, I posted a picture on my Instagram of a strong-looking Black man with a blazer on, with a dress on under it, and some sneakers. So when I said, 'Somebody mad at my hashtag, Instagram black man looking half a ? ,’ I wasn't talking about Kanye. I was talking about this dude in the picture. You understand? But a lot of people said, 'Aw he's calling Kanye a half a ? .' I never called him half a ? . I was talking about that fashion sensibility to me was half a ? . It was half-man, half-woman.
“And what I said was, in my Instagram post, the reason why Kanye even got incorporated into it, I said, ' Do you see the climate that dudes like Kanye is creating by wearing the skirts and all of that?’” Lord Jamar continues. “Now people is trying to push it even further to a next degree where they got my man wearing just a straight up dress. When they see dudes, influential dudes like Kanye put on the skirt, or what he wants us to believe is a kilt, he is creating that atmosphere. So, that's what I was saying. That was my statement.”
Last year, Lord Jamar also released the song “Lift Up Your Skirt (Kanye Diss)” about the situation, which was Lord Jamar’s reaction to Kanye West appearing on stage and at appearances wearing a skirt. In his song, the New Yorker raps, “Somebody mad at my hashtag / Instagram black man looking half a ? / Wit a blazer and dress / I’m just amazed at the mess / Pioneer of this ? ? is Kanye West / He introduced the skinny jeans to the rap scene / Then he wore a ? skirt on a video screen / Then he wore it again at a memorial / I can't pretend that this ? ain't deplorable.”
Lord Jamar says that he does not know Kanye West’s sexual preferences and that he doesn’t care what they may be. But, Lord Jamar says that he does not agree with one of the styles Kanye West has been pushing.
“This feminine, emasculated style that's trying to infiltrate Hip Hop, he's one of the pioneers of that,” Lord Jamar says. “Now when I say ? , am I trying to say that ? people can't be ? ? No. Everybody can be who they want to be. I don't hate anybody. I love all people. But you can love a person and not agree with their ways and actions. And there's a difference between tolerance and promotion. Okay? And you're never going to get me to promote something that I don't agree with. I can tolerate it. I'm not out there trying to bash anyone or brutalize someone or stop them from having their freedoms, but everything has parameters, too. You see what I'm saying. And I'm saying this Hip Hop ? has parameters. Things grow and evolve, but at the same time, you have to keep those parameters in order for the thing to remain what it is, or else it becomes something else. That's all I'm saying.”

'Ye freed the younger generation from the limited street life. For those who remembered the rap game before he came in, it was like a real life CB4.

Jamar got a album coming out or something?

Kanye is the only one that actually wore what pharaohs wore. The dudes Power video pointed to this. Pharaohs looked at themselves as gods on earth and he's been running with that concept. Jamal was naked ? men in prison. Dude needs to stop.

Aint nobody in that video wearing a Pharaoh dress and that's never been Kanye's accuse for wearing one. Yeah, he's wearing Horus on his chain, but that don't nothing. I wish folks would stop trying to put an pseudo-Afrocentric spin on this ? by bringing up what they wore ancient Egypt when we know these muthafuckas today (like Ye himself) are so infatuated with European culture.

He likes to hear himself talk, huh? He's on some "I just said some profound ass ? !"

Plus Kanye was a middle class suburban raised dude that's why my friends cor people in general from the hood can't relate to his music he's not from the hood or struggle
