In the verses in which you offend him, dear Fedez, when you speak of Tiziano Ferro, it is not true that you meant the opposite. The phrase to be understood in reverse was the only premise: “I care that Tiziano Ferro has made an outing.” Quite the contrary (2011) is however the tip of the iceberg. “Don’t be an emo fagot with nail polish on your fingers” (I take you with me, 2011) just makes a bit more pop out. There is another Fedez, much more. «Cousin, / even if you don’t have a wig, / I catch you from afar, / you are a slut. / Suck, suck “(Boom, 2010). «The usual suspects towards the usual frocetti, / the reality is always worse / than you expect» (Disagio Skit, 2010). “I don’t suck cocks, / I’m not your brother, / and buy the labellum / with the flavor of a bird” (I’m not into it anymore, 2010; the song is contained in Fedez’s BCPT mixtape; the rapper duets here with Emis Killa, but the verse is sung by him). «I like to take things in the chest, / you like to take things in the rectum. / I don’t lick my asses, just ask your boy / who makes the lyrics like a fag and seems to me like Checco Zalone “(Into My Head, 2010). “Why hasn’t anyone told Flavio Briatore / that walking around with a sarong is a bit of a ricchione?” / The beach types with white slippin / they look like they came out of a Ricky Martin party »(Bella vita, 2011). “Do you see that gentleman putting on his skirt?” / It’s Cecchi Paone who dresses as a woman. / He asked me if we want to exchange a couple, / he has already taken a hotel with a double room “(Una cosa sola, 2011; the song is from Fedez’s album Il mio primo sale disco, produced by Franco Godi; This time Fedez is joined by Danti, from Two Fingerz, but the verse is sung by him). “I have a repressed hatred towards all gay people, / but then I file with the photo of the Green Day singer” (Faccio brutto, 2013).
Sure, Fedez, you can change your mind. But when the message is still there, and the music and lyrics are online, available to everyone, then changing your mind is no longer enough: you have to apologize. It doesn’t matter if the victim is a gay or lesbian, a trans or a woman.
Yes, Fedez, because you also had some for women. “I’ll give you half an envelope if you give me a half bust, / I’ll give it all if you kill Barbara D’Urso / because I still can’t allow myself this luxury” (Blasphemy, 2010; with Emis Killa). “I rape Moratti / and while she gives me a mouthpiece / I cut her throat / with the cutter” (B-Rex status domini, 2010; with Rise). “There are those who make the image girl out of boredom / to feed her slutty image” (Dove si va, 2010; with Maxi B). «You are sluts, sluts, / don’t be modest. / Look how the fuck / these are dressed. / / I recognize a bitcha / already from the way she dresses. / / «You send her around dressed as a slut, / then you cry if they rape her. / / They are sluts, and if they are not / then they become “(They move, 2010; with Bat One, or simply Bat). They are all songs are contained in BCPT. In all four cases, Fedez is singing, and the mixtape is produced by him.
Perhaps, dear Fedez, your Chiara is no longer so proud of you. However, you are not alone in that wild forest of rap and hip hop that with the excuse of freedom of expression, or the license to rhyme, spreads homophobic or sexist messages absorbed and re-transmitted by the music system as if nothing had happened. You are in good company, Fedez. Many, more or less, enemies of gays and women, treated, at best, as a sexual object for the pleasure of the dominating and abusive male.
You weren’t very different, Fedez, in the early years of your career, from the politicians and politicians with whom you are now angry. Perhaps, indeed, you are even worse than them, because you pretend to put yourself at the head of a cause that you don’t even know what it is by calculation, hypocrisy or other.
