On more than one occasion, I've heard rappers say, "Hip hop is all about venting and going against the establishment." At least, that's part of the history of hip hop. But, if that's the case, why hasn't there ever been a successful, openly gay rapper? There's still persecution towards homosexuality. So, why isn't there anyone holding up the banner for equal rights for gays in rap? If rap is all about venting and expression, then have all the artists in history been heterosexual?


Hip Hop is hypocritical in that sense.

Evidently they have
stfu with your faggot ass gay rights shit man
damn

umm, to Fakepexx...Dude from Run DMC just said it on VH1...He said, "The beastie boys represented what Hip hop and Rock are all about, raging against the establishment."

^^^So, there's one...STFU.

#2...I know being "openly gay" isn't marketable because of people's biases and fears. But, my point is, if rap is about venting and expression, then why in the 25+ years of rappers hasn't there been one to actually talk about being gay. Again, am I to conclude that in 25 years, there's never been ONE GAY RAPPER?


Niet.

Didnt know you were gay
But the population of gays, are most of them into hip hop
So deeply that they would consider rapping?
I meanw hen you think gay people, you dont think people into rap for the most part
I mean I dont know shit about gay people I might be assuming something untrue. But I dont think theres so many gay people in the group of people that decide they wanna rap that its really suprising.

ex. your the first openly gay person i seen on a rap board. Especially rapping
In my school there is about 3 gay guys and I dont think they like rap

That kind of attitude is why armchair intellectuals and politicians hate hip hop and its population.





He isnt tryin to make the world gay, he's just pointing out how there are still hypocrisies in hip hop culture with regards to general culture and lifestyle.





They could, it just depends how liberal the audience is, if its todays casual listener, then yes. But its possible a gay rapper could sell, as long as he's dope and creative, the gay part just adds to the publicity.

oh excuse me
I thought most armchair intellectuals and politicians hated hip hop because it resides with the african american lifestyle and culture. Oh, and politicians are WORST then rappers, lmao, if you havent noticed
ever politican that has came out gay, RESIGNED!
if a rapper came out gay, do you think he would stop rappin?
I dont think so
lets still be thankful that we havent came across a gay rapper yet

well that's pretty ironic seeing that the first hip hop song ever had absolutely nothing to do with raging against the government.

not to mention hip hop is an expressionary form, so how could it be "all about "anything? thats like saying painting is "all about rainbows and smiley faces".
