Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

It ain't cool to be gay if you're rapping. Singing? Maybe.
Folks wanna pretend that hip hop accepts it. They think Makonnen and Thug can get on a song about smashing each other or other dudes and that **** will just be applauded by hip hop.

Meh.

Frank Ocean is flourishing and Kevin Abstract has a show on VICE.

As long as you aren't blatantly doing too much to where social judgements can be made upon your heterosexual consumers for rocking with you I think the coast is pretty much clear for gay rappers to come out.
I'm inclined to agree with this.

And who exactly are we calling "Hip-Hop"?There is no one monolithic collective known as "Hip-Hop" that all share one mind. There's always been a kaleidoscope of opinions and different mentalities. 

There's a million ****** who hate so-called mumble rap. There's a million ****** who hate so-called dusty old head raps. How do you quantify each group enough to say "well this ONE thing is what HIP-HOP feels about mumble rap?"

The fact that there are so many successful artists today who have the aid of mass media and are either LGBT or exist within a bender of gender-fluidity...should be proof enough that SOMEONE "accepts" them. Clearly if the opinions of ones that "don't accept" them mattered...then we wouldn't be having this discussion.

It's a different Hip Hop and a different generation. Gays are accepted in so called Hip Hop today. Boys dress like and act like women. It might night be fully accepted but it's night and day compared to 15 years ago.
 
Young thug called another dude his hubby and they still made music together.
This is one thing I never understood.

He's called all those ATL scene dudes some variation of bae/lover/babe/hubby and no one has even stepped into the comments to just be like "I rock w you dog but stop playing with me like that"

tolerated and accepted are 2 different things

but we're in a time where reaching for attention is accepted more than anything

men and women doing the most degrading things possible publicly for the check

That's what it is. Like I said, let some rapper say some graphic ****, and they will be shunned.

This isn't exactly new.

Out of curiousity...I'd like to hear some of ya'll opinions on what's the collective mentality towards women in hip-hop? Are they "accepted or not?"

What do you mean?

The ***** is a damn troll. 

Nah, I don't troll saying I want to smoke a penis or I gotta hubby or wear women's clothing.
 
No straight man is playing around like that. It ain't a joke, it ain't funny. My opinion is he gets down with men. I think a lot of "rappers" today get down with men.

That's not how homosexuality works tho. It isn't based on what you say, sense of humor, type of dress, it's based on your sexual preference.

That's like sayin' you as a straight man put on a dress and you instantly fall in love with your homeboy. If some clothes, jokes, or make-up "makes" a guy gay he was gay way before that day.
 
Joe said being gay is accepted in Hip Hop because Migos wear blouses and Young Thug wore a dress on the cover. :rollin

He knows if Game, Joe Budden, Nipsey, Kendrick, J Cole etc came out the closet we would see a whole bunch of videos of people deleting albums off their phone/burning CDs

Boys dressing and acting like women doesn't make them gay though, sleeping with other men do. That's exactly the point Ak and Nedeska were making. What you and Joe are really saying is femininity is more accepted these days. Being gay? Nah. There's a difference between wearing a dress and kissing a guy.

If something so minuscule as clothing determines a persons sexual orientation then they're right for saying being gay isn't that accepted.
 
In this weirdo Bruce Jenner time mainstream media has damn near pushed men being feminine. Then it's certain rappers now that are going along with that. Young Thug, Uzi, Yacthy has dudes kissing on his album cover. If you gay be gay but that over the top stuff is BS. And I don't buy that these dudes are trolling. Why would any straight man feel comfortable wearing females clothes, calling men pet names and ****? You doing all that for internet? You love attention that much? Nah.

Love when people feel as if **** is being pushed. As if they don't represent a market. Where there's a market, there's money. It's as simple as that.

Until they flat out say they gay, they not. Clothing doesn't make people gay.

What is your definition of homosexual? That may be the issue here

So if you put on a blouse today you magically gon be attracted to men huh?

The funny thing is men will wear women sneakers. That make you gay too? You doing that for attention or are those just sneakers? Some cotton and polyester clothes determine sexuality but women sneakers is cool for the culture.
