According to HSK…A$AP Rocky taking some of the credit for elimination of the homophobia that once lived in Hip Hop? Though we can’t say for sure, from what he had to say about Buju Banton’s 1993 track ‘Boom Bye Bye’ — combined with the fact that he’s the first emcee to rock a dress — A$AP Rocky seems to be championing homo being “accepted now” ….
Boom bye bye
Inna batty bwoy head
Rude bwoy no promote no nasty man
Dem haffi dead

Here’s what A$AP Rocky had to say about Buju Banton’s homophobic anthem:
“It’s not really about what he’s saying for me. Hip hop was the most homophobic genre of all. So we’re talking about the core of Hip Hop, 1993. The fuck you expect? Buju wasn’t playing none of that shit.
Being gay is accepted now, and I’m open to that. I love that the world is like that now. That’s fine! He made a song in 1993 when that wasn’t okay, and if you ask me if it sounds ill, it does.”
