You mean you gotta be white for that to work?
Anyway I rock with Tyler, he's always been different tho. And Wolf was a pretty solid album.

Quick...show me who the "real" Tyler The Creator is that proves the image he portrays is a "trick or device intended to attract attention".
A gimmick would be when MC Lyte became a thug to sell records or even Tupac becoming a hardcore gang banger.
Shock value certainly aided to OF's rise, but nothing about it was contrived. All of them have gone down their own paths and none of them really still make content as juvenile as they did when they came out...and rightfully so...because they're older.
What makes a person "authentic" and what makes them a gimmick? Is it a gimmick when Drake warps into one of his many international alter egos?

Lmao a gimmick doesn't have to have a negative connotation. If anything every successful act has a gimmick
There are just certain gimmicks that some will like and others won't. Tyler's gimmick is wack. It's lame as hell and it's been lame as hell since the beginning with the video w: the roaches coming out his mouth. Odd future = wack
The conscious rap effort can be considered a gimmick too.
Ain't no "authentic" this is a business.
You said it yourself. Shock value. That is Tyler the creator's brand. And like dude up there said, Eminem do the same ****

I actually just watched the show and what they had to say about it. Just like Joe said...how many heterosexual ****** do ya'll know that's been "joking" about being homo for 5 years now?
I sincerely believe that ***** when he says he's been trying to tell everyone for years.
I also don't think this is going to push him to some new level of stardom. I think dude is just comfortable with revealing who he is.
You can't listen to that song with Estelle and tell me he's just joking. It wasn't even a "joking" type of song.

Don't see the big deal either way but all the ambiguity and going back and forth on it is corny lol.
If he is gay he should have been capitalized on it.
The potential for the shock value moments he loves goes up 10x now that he's gay.
BTW if OF had their business together they could have been like a weirdo No Limit. Syd, Frank, Internet, Tyler. All potential headlining acts.

Define accepted. I listen to rap now compared to 10 years ago and you don't hear nearly as many gay slurs.

Meh.
Frank Ocean is flourishing and Kevin Abstract has a show on VICE.
As long as you aren't blatantly doing too much to where social judgements can be made upon your heterosexual consumers for rocking with you I think the coast is pretty much clear for gay rappers to come out.

That's society period . Everybody is mad sensitive and wants to be politically correct period . Anybody goes on record and starts dropping slurs is risking their brand
I think people in general are more accepting though , I honestly don't think most of his peers will give a **** .

I know it's just a show but that's the silliest (and possibly dangerous depending on your personal endeavors) attitude to have. A gun isn't going to jam because the man likes to get rammed.
People vouch for Thug though.

Don't confuse people accepting something versus dealing with something or just not caring about it. You cant say what you wanna say like you was able to 10 years ago and not get backlash. Look at Migos and how the media tried to do them when they made a comment about Makkonnen. Let Thug say some **** like he just got finished making out with a dude or whatever. You think these rappers gon mess with him and accept him? Nah.
Also folks assume Thug is gay. Until he flat out confirms it, he's not. You're just putting labels on him based on what you see.

Like jump off said, we got dudes wearing dresses and speaking in the same way as young thug.
Hip hop is more accepting of gay culture than ever before
