Remember That Time Rapper CupcakKe Was Rollin’ With the LGBT? #ThrowbackThursday
Share
Remember when not only were we saying gay, but in 2016, rapper CupcakKe issued the warning: “Get out my way, I’m rolling with the LGBT?”
CupcakKe whose real name is Elizabeth Harris had a meteoric rise in the rap scene after her songs “Vagina” and “Deepthroat” went viral online. Other fan favorites include, “Cumshot,” “Juicy Coochie” and “Best Dick Sucker.”
CupcakKe may have risen in the rap world because of her freaky lyrics and social media persona (her Twitter bio boasts: “GOING TO SUCK 2017 DICKS IN 2017”) but now she’s tackling larger political, societal, and personal issues in her music. In her last studio album, Audacious, she had two songs in particular that stood out: “LGBT” and “Picking Cotton.”
In the former, CupcakKe raps, “Fuck out my way when you see me/I’m rollin’ with the LGBT.” In this ode to the LGBT community—and how we are not a community to be messed with—her sentiment is clear: “Judge one of my drags, catch a heel up yo’ ass.”
What’s your relationship with the LGBT community and what inspired you to write the song “LGBT”?
The LGBT community is so so special to me because it’s like, people treat them so bad; like the ones I be around—they just get treated so bad. Growing up, I always saw that people who’s less fortunate [like] people that’s part of the LGBT community, they get treated so different. When I put out “LGBT,” it was so everyone can be treated equal. Everyone deserves love no matter who you like or who you want to marry. If you like a gal, [and/or] guy, that’s on you, and have fun with it. That’s who you are, and there’s nothing wrong with that. That’s all I wanted to make clear in that song. Be comfortable with who you are because if no one else loves you, I definitely love you, because I love the LGBT community.
For today’s throwback Thursday, we the LGBT community, thank you CupcakKe.
