Is it a Negative form of Music?/Talking?

Yes, and the main ones who do it are closet homosexuals themselves.

I don't know. I don't listen to rap.

Yes they do. Sad thing is the record buying public doesn't care.

No, thats a generalization.

Because 3/4 of them are homosexual anyway, don't believe the hype.

Really? You think 3/4 are gay? Names!

All the rap that I have heard is very demeaning to women,which is why I don't listen to it.

Big BOTTOM train intersections. Oh yes.

Harlepolis said:

You will have to forgive me, but I don't know what you mean by the first statement. Please educate me.

Not all but enough.
But some Reggae makes rap sound almost gay-friendly.

This is a silly thread for so many reasons .....
It's not only anti male but , anti female but also anti gay and racist ...

Please lock..

Him AND Elephant Man (Who is slightly flamboyant....not that's necessarily the case with ALL homosexuals. They're individuals like every other human being.). Crazy.

BEENIE MAN, SIM-SIMMA!!!
ZAGGA-ZOW!"

Are you done yet ..... please this is so old hat ...

LondonStyle said:

Would you for once construct a feasibly coherent sentence? What the fuck does "This is so old hat...." mean and how does it pertain to the subject at hand?

That's my point this is not a subject .... as per comments at the start of the thread ....read them

LondonStyle said:

I love it when you talk dirty.

Mysterioso said:

Thanks....now let's move on....nothing to see around here....let's move on to a real thread...bye..

hokie said:

Yeah, educate me too, please.

I know the J and the Z trains intersect...

Is that what you're saying?

"bitches ain't shit, but hos and tricks. lickin' the nuts and suck the dicks"

Just the shit ones, and I don't listen to them anyway. I doubt mos def, common, black thought and them are homophobic or misogynistic, correct me if I'm wrong.

Kanye West is incredibly pro-gay yet everyone's too busy freaking out about who he's calling the "greatest artist of all time" this week.

Rap is not only mostly homophobic, but its sexist too. Look at the role of women as hoes and to be had, and some of the rappers gleefully rapping about violence in their raps eg "I don't love you hoes", "I go hard on my bitches, cos I am never never soft on them" "bitch u don't know, u aint heard, fucking with me u gonna get served", "One for the money, two for the bitches, three 2 get ready, and four to hit the switches" "Til the sweat drip from my balls" "Move bitch get outta da way". "Been boning my hoe" Ultra macho, Jim Buck type nonsense.
Just listen to Ludacris and Too Short and TPain, none have respect for women, its just shut up bitch and listen, and half of them think they are pimps and that hoes love it. Gays are ignored unless they are referred to as thing to kill or humiliate. Reggae yes is worse, Buju Banton and Beenie Man were part of the reason raggamuffin never really took off.
Fortunately many gays don't listen to rap as most gays are high brow culturally and most hip hop (Come on) is for the low brow and less intelligent members of society.

Very good points but people buy these assholes records by the millions.

Fauxie said:

Common at least has had an interesting evolution. He used to say some pretty messed up stuff with regard to homosexuals, but he had a song, "Between You, Me and Liberation" on his album Electric Circus that promoted new thought around tolerance, if not solidarity with the plight of LGBTQs. I haven't followed his more recent work to know where he is now.

Lammastide said:

Last I heard he still doesn't like the 'mos. He refers to women as bitches in his music but seems to get a pass for whatever reason.

Vendetta1 said:

That's disappointing.

Lammastide said:

Yea it is in a "I wish I didn't know because I love some of his stuff" type of way.

There does seem to be a preponderance of homophobia in the rap community. And can't say I hear many respectful references to women. And what about Public Enemy getting a pass for their anti-Semitism ("Welcome to the Terrordome", "Swindler's Lust", etc.). Is there anything more ironic than a group so concerned with racism indulging in anti-Jewish slurs?
