iconic homothugs

according to baby himself, this kiss between he and lil wayne is about the love between father and son.

sure. i'll buy it.

in all honesty, i'm not interested in speculating how this kiss might index something else (i.e. a long-term, pseduo-closeted relationship). i'm much more interested in this moment as one that complicates any clear understanding of the hip hop community's relationship to queerness on one hand, and homophobia on the other.

my favorite part about this picture is the dudes in the back--are they mad? envious? and what is up with dude on right's hand reaching for lil wayne? what is he trying to touch?
