Message to any transgender rappers — do NOT follow Bruce Jenner‘s lead, ’cause hip-hop culture’s not ready for that kinda thing … at least according to hip-hop legend Erick Sermon.
We got Sermon — one half of rap pioneers EPMD — in NYC, and when we asked if hip-hop would welcome a transgender performer at this point … he went on a rant.
Sermon said, “They’re taking the culture too far. It’s just too far to be going.”
You’ve gotta watch … it’s a bit puzzling — Sermon criticizes Bruce for the timing of his announcement … then applauds him for potentially helping transgenders who might be suicidal.
As for the whole transgender rapper thing — check out his Michael Sam metaphor.
It’s complicated.
