When recent years have seen your career become a shadow of what it used to be, there is a tendency by some artists to lash out at their younger and commercially potent rivals.
Unfortunately, like many a Hip Hop icon of yesteryear, 37 year old Xzibit has found himself in that very situation this week, mocking chart topping vocalist Frank Ocean over his recent sexuality-baring letter.
Find out what happened below…
When one of the MC’s remaining fans asked if he had any plans to work with Ocean, Xzibit tweeted the following:
“@Streamlyne: @Xzibit – plans to work with Frank Ocean any time soon?” #pause.
— XZIBIT (@xzibit) July 20, 2012
Used in slang to negate any comment or action which inadvertently alludes to ‘homosexual behavior’, Xzibit‘s use of ‘pause’ when addressing Ocean prompted one fan to Tweet:
@xzibit Are you really that homophobic? Really? I might have just lost respect for you.. Yup definitely did. It’s 2012, grow up.
— DJ Ganzobean (@Ganzobean) July 20, 2012
Quite interestingly, the MC’s dig comes hours before news of his new album ‘Napalm‘ hit the net.
Perhaps, in realizing he has lost the pull that turned ‘Pimp My Ride‘ into a ratings smash, taking aim at Frank is his way of generating attention for a project we’re sure is just waiting to gather dust on a street corner near you.
Seriously though, it’s a shame artists like Xzibit continue to endorse ignorant ideas in public while doing the exact opposite in private.
After all, we doubt he’d be against collaborating with ‘someone like Frank’ if it meant aiding what is left of his ailing career.

Actually that person is a gay man in denial because no man secure in his sexuality no matter what his orientation would be that concerned about what the next man does sexually and he is more pressed by the sex act between men as opposed to the love between them……

So if he had typed #pause in reference to working with R&B artists such as Ne-Yo, Trey Songz, Chris Brown or Usher Raymond would it also be perceived as a “gay slur”?
#pause simply means “hold up”. I still don’t see why Xzibit (1 of the WORSE Rappers I’ve ever heard), would have a reason to work with Frank Ocean as not all Rappers or Hip Hop acts work with none Rap or Hip Hop artists.

Yea I don’t get it. Where is “pause” a gay slur? Maybe he doesn’t want to work with Frank Ocean for reasons other than his sexual preference. Maybe he doesn’t like his style of music. People need to slow down with the accusations. The question seemed like bait anyway. Why not ask him what he meant….

Although i don’t agree with prejudice of ant kind this situation is out of control. The world does not begin and end with Frank Ocean and people will not change their views because the mass media bandwagon has decided that he is the golden child. Racism still exists and we still have to deal with it, homophobia will still exist and we should be concerned about the people in the real world who have to deal with the issue, Frank is far removed from the public, blogs but the everyday person has to deal with it and isn’t getting major support from anyone.
Also, i don’t see how #pause is a slur

Why? Glad X didn’t try to be fake. He gave a very short, fleeting response and that was it…he didn’t even blast Frank. Then another Twitter idiot had to be all self-righteous and “PC” over something that wasn’t even necessary. If X doesn’t wanna work with him, then so the hell what?

How is “pause” a gay slur? It’s just a word and it has nothing to do with sexual orientation. It does show that he snubs Frank Ocean, but it doesn’t prove that he does not condone his sexuality. Maybe he simply does not like his vocals or his style. How did you assume he’s a homophobic by the word “pause”?
Anyway, I don’t condone Twitter shade, but I’m glad someone kept it honest. Going against the grain is always better, so, much like I applauded Frank Ocean for releasing his open letter, I will applaud XZibit for being brave enough to not kiss Frank’s ass like everybody else is doing right now

Sigh. This is not a ”gay slur”. The real “gay slur” is Frank Ocean trying to capitalise on bisexuality and the media building his music with preconceived notions as they did with Lady Gaga. I loved Nostalgia but the reviews for Channel Orange are really outrageous. It isn’t fractionally as good. By metacritic standards, Orange is supposed to be better than Nirvana’s Nevermind which is a load of bull.

Reading some of the comments, I realized that some of you so-called “open minded” people who defended Frank are more homophobic than you blame Xzibit to be. The ONLY thing the man’s tweet proves is that he doesn’t want to work with Frank Ocean and you just assumed that the reason for that is Frank’s sexuality. SMH.
There are countless reasons why an artist wouldn’t like to collaborate with another artist. If your mind went straight to sexuality, then you need to work on your own homophobic tendancies and leave Xzibit alone.

By saying the word “Pause” in it’s slang meaning. He is suggesting that he is not gay or he doesn’t want to work with him because he is gay. Or else there would have been no point of ending sentence with pause. Other than to make a joke about a gay moment.

I get what you’re saying, but the word “pause” is not necessarily a homophobic reference. Maybe Xzibit hates Frank Ocean’s vocals or his sound or maybe his lyrics to the extent where he thinks a collaboration is 100% impossible. It doesn’t have to be about sexuality. And even if it was, it was just ONE word. It’s not like he tweeted a 4-page homophobic manifesto.

Pause in slang is used whenever a gay moment presents itself, whether it’s how u say something or a way somebody may be acting, as far as stereotypes of homosexuality anyway. So when asked if Xzibit would work with Frank Ocean, sounds to me like somebody wanted a funny or rude response. That’s exactly what happened. The response is clearly saying “No” I don’t wanna work with him because he is gay which could be a hint of homophobia or just not wanting to be grouped with him. No different then me not wanting to be associated wi hanging around with a drug dealer or a known hoe. Is it right? No it’s not because in that moment I feel like I’m better than that person or much to good to even be mentioned I the same sentence. He is wrong just as I would be.

I’m gay and don’t see how “pause” is a a gay slur. If that’s the case, I’m homophobic towards my own class of sexuality because I use that expression all the time. At first I didn’t understand what izibit had said that was a gay slur till I saw the comments and realized its tgj having a slow news day and just like Toya, posting random stupid shit just for hits.

Apparently ‘Pause’ is a cousin to ‘No homo,’ but I never totally understood why (or how.) I’m just guessing here, but I think “pause” indicates not being comfortable around something gay-related or implied that’s happening at the moment. Like “PAUSE on what’s happening here…” It’s more of a gay “snub” than a slur.
Anyway, who cares? Not everyone has to be comfortable around gay people, or on Team Frank. Sam, you need to stop. You’re doing Frank no favors by being this overeager and obnoxious where he’s concerned. You’re overhyping and overexposing Frank so much that I can see backlash ensuing here where he’s concerned.

Gays are becoming uppity. It’s starting to get to the point where if someone has any slight hesitation, reservation or discomfort about gay people, no matter how passive that person is in displaying it, militant gays and militant gay-friendly people wanna drag them to the carpet and preach.
Fuck all that. I’m not out killing any gay people, I’m not beating up any gay people, I’m not making life harder for any gay people…but I don’t HAVE to be comfortable around gays, nor do I have to support their plight or interests. I don’t have to be an ally or friend of the gays. So if I want to change the station when a Frank Ocean song comes on or avoid him and his music, then so be it. If Xzibit would rather not work with Frank, then so be it. You’re blowing this up like he just slandered and slurred him to hell and back, when all he did was drop a quick reference indicating that he wouldn’t be comfortable working with him. Is it because he’s gay? Maybe. But so the hell what? Who’s gonna die because Xzibit may not be a Frank enthusiast, even if it’s for no other reason than because of his sexuality?
Get off your high horse.

Sam, sit your wanna be Perez Hilton ass down somewhere. To say that Xzibit was trying to use “slurring” Frank as promotion for his new album is dumb, considering all he did was provide a very short, non-detailed, retort to a question someone else asked him. Beyonce, 50, Busta, Brandy, Jamie, Solange, etc., etc. writing long winded valentines declarations to and about Frank are more “potent” examples of celebrities wanting attention from this Frank’s buzz. I just have to laugh at how someone not being on Frank’s bandwagon and showering him with praise makes them deserving of your petty vitriol. Grow up. I know Frank’s coming out and media acceptance probably makes hopeful that someday your gay ass can be something other than a hack blogger, with no staff, and who has to sensationalize news, bait fan bases and instigate drama for clicks and comments, but seriously man…fuck you!

Silly statement. And a “never was”?”"Irrelevant”? No one who is irrelevant debuts at #2 on the Billboard 200. He debuted at #2 basically from digital sales alone and with no major single and no major promo. That is what most real artists aim for. His album has received critical acclaim from all music critics. He’s doing Usher and Chris Brown numbers and he’s not even a mainstream artist, Chris Brown(135k, Usher 128k, Frank 131k). ..and they debuted at #1. He’s doing pretty good for himself

Excuse me but Chris Brown is not doing mainstream numbers. If he was then his numbers would have been much more than what it was and you know that. Because of that one time fight alot of the mainstream audience are not buying Chris’s music. They spend most of their time talking shit about him while their life is at a stand still in 2009. So compare the sales of Frank & Usher not Chris.

Frank Ocean, despite of media claims, IS NOT A RAPPER/HIP HOP ARTIST! Why would a rapper need to work with him?

Iggy Azalea used the words ‘Slave master’ & the entire black community went ape shit & claimed she was a racist & practically tried to have her lynched. Now the same thing happens to another minority & the black community are the first to jump on it & tell them to ‘get over it’ & saying they’re ‘drama queens’ & start using offensive slurs. It’s somehow socially acceptable for people to use slurs to insult gay men when they make drama, but it’s not acceptable to drop ‘N’ bombs when black people make similar drama? Hypocrisy at it’s finest.
Luckily most of the negativity is coming from people who can barely spell or string a sentence together so I shouldn’t worry about them ever managing to get into a position of power were their opinions would actually make a difference.
