this guy has always been a pretty bad person from what id heard

Weird how we only know about this now.

Well, it's been nice knowing yr records, bye then.

I cannot believe this is the guy who appeared on "Beautiful Skin". granted D-40 alludes that his shittiness wasn't a surprise to all but my God, it was bad enough when he got charged w/ the initial felony, but to now wade in the moral relativism that he's wading in on top of that = fuck this guy forever.

so far, just so far, out of context, that's how you took my comments, just way so far

i really hate screamin in your ear/I don't have to when I got ecstacy here

srs question, but how far did homophobia permeate in hip-hop in the 80s and 90s? I ask because obviously, it was all over the hardcore street rap, but even the socially conscious folks like Chuck D made embarrassing comments about homosexuality in public forums (if I recall, the latter said homosexuals were 'men who hadn't been given what they needed by a woman' or something equally ridiculous).

Not defending Cee-Lo's comments at all (ffs, it's the 21st century, asshole!), but was wondering if this was a problem with other more conscious/alternative rap back in the day...the homophobia always bummed the fuck out of me in rap.

Weird how we only know about this now.

nah this was in the news (albeit a little less than it is right now) way back last October when the charges first went public

yeah it's why he left The Voice wasn't it?

srs question, but how far did homophobia permeate in hip-hop in the 80s and 90s?

lol 100%. to the bone.

literally cannot think of a single act that said anything remotely pro-gay, and pretty much everyone used "faggot" derogatorily at least once

not as true in the 80s, I remember reading an article about Whodini where they blamed increasing homophobia (even though they were straight, but their style became seen as "gay") as part of why they went out of style

what a piece of shit this guy is eh

"fuck you" was about a Nice Guy getting friendzoned so in retrospect the signs were there

"My man [Ecstasy] used to come out on stage wearing leather shorts and cowboy boots and a hat," Adler says. "He was beautiful and built, and he was going to let you admire how cut he was. But when you look at those pictures, it looks dated at best. And at worst, it looks fruity... unmanly. Hip-hop is hypermasculine. And here you got songs like 'The Freaks Come Out at Night' that expressed sexuality in too overt a way to be taken serious for any length of time. The lines of hetero- and homosexuality were blurred. I think by the end, people just didn't get it."

so #amiwrong or did cee lo admit to rape in those tweets

he had a case where he allegedly drugged and raped a woman and then he tweets that unconscious woman aren't "with" you so they can't consent and therefore fucking them is fine?????

isn't he basically saying "yeah i raped that woman who i knocked out"

i don't see any other way to read this

'no contest'

n. in criminal law, a defendant's plea in court that he/she will not contest the charge of a particular crime, also called nolo contendere. While technically not an admission of guilt for commission of the crime, the judge will treat a plea of "no contest" as such an admission and proceed to find the defendant guilty as charged. A "no contest" plea is often made in cases in which there is also a possible lawsuit for damages by a person injured by the criminal conduct (such as reckless driving, assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault), because it cannot be used in the civil lawsuit as an admission of fault. "No contest" is also used where there has been a "plea bargain" in which the defendant does not want to say he/she is guilty but accepts the sentence recommended by the prosecutor in exchange for not contesting the charge (which is often reduced to a lesser crime). It is standard practice for the judge to ask either the attorneys or the defendant, "Is there a factual basis for the plea?" before accepting it and finding the defendant guilty.

he's just pulling some OJ "If I Did It" shit, where he's saying 'y'all I'm totally innocent and all but uhhhh I don't think *this* is rape anyway'.

Pairing his comments with the allegations and him pleading 'no contest' instead of 'not guilty' is all I need to know to assume he fuckin' did it and lucked out w/ the evidence being insufficient.

so he *basically* admitted to it in court and then went and defended his actions on twitter

seems like an admitted rapist to me

yeah p much

It's not the 'no contest' by itself. It's that his original plea was "not guilty", and, realizing he faced four years in jail if convicted, he amended his plea to get the lesser charge of probation. *that's* what says he's guilty.

article about his original plea to the ecstacy charge: http://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/oct/22/cee-lo-green-pleads-not-guilty-charge-ecstasy

by then the rape charge had been dismissed outright.

How not to explain yourself.

As Tom Ewing said, "the comments attributed to my brain by my hands typing them"

the "who knows where this internet stuff comes from, anyway" defense.

closet crepe

I initially thought he was gay himself.

If this is how he scotches such rumours, then I think he may have taken things a little too far

womp womp
