Warren G’s new album, The G Files, drops today (I’m not going to pretend that I knew he was even still alive), and Vanity fucking Fair, of all magazines, interviewed him about it. The interview is boring and annoying until you get to this part (emphasis mine):

I think you should save the money for your kids and grandkids and stuff like that. But it ain’t really a bad thing to party every now and again. If you’re makin’ a lot of money, there ain’t nothin’ wrong with partying and makin’ yourself feel good and enjoying what you worked hard for. I ain’t mad at those artists rappin’ about money. But I also think we gotta teach these kids that money ain’t what it’s all about. You gotta start being a businessman or a businesswoman. Instead of just poppin’ open bottles of Cristal, we should be teaching them about business and stuff like that. I don’t just mean in terms of the hip-hop community. I mean blacks, whites, Latinos, everybody. As a generation, we need to start leading these kids down the right path.I mean, I ain’t against the gays or nothin’.

…I ain’t against gay people. I’m just against it being promoted to kids…I know people that’s gay. My wife’s got friends that are gay. I got family that’s gay. Cousins and shit. He cool as fuck. He cool as a motherfucker. He’s my homie. I just mean that on some of these TV shows, they got dudes kissing. And kids are watching that shit. We can’t have kids growing up with that.

…I know it happens, but let’s keep it behind the scenes. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with it if that’s what two dudes wanna do. Cool. But that’s not bring that out into the world, where the kids can see that. We don’t want all the kids doing that. ‘Cause that ain’t how we was originally put here to do. Like I said, I ain’t got no problem with the gays.

It’s not even that he’s homophobic. You don’t like gay people, well, that’s your own ignorant business, but whatever. What I don’t understand is how he can say “I’m not against gay people…Ain’t nothing wrong with it if that’s what two dudes wanna do” and then ALSO say “We can’t have kids growing up with that” (like “that” is hunger or a Snuggie or some shit) and “‘Cause that ain’t how we was originally put here to do”.  One of these things is not like the other, dumbass. Pick a side.

I also wonder how he justifies drinking, smoking, premarital sex, degradation of women, and drug use while condemning homosexuality, but you know, I decided a while back to stop asking hard questions and my blood pressure has since dropped significantly. If you need me I’ll be over here deleting “dance to ‘Regulator’ during wedding reception” from my gay agenda.
