Hip Hop Becoming Less Homophobic?
August 8th, 2008 | Author: Aliya Ewing In a culture and music genre in which being "gay" is synonymous with weakness, weirdness, or ineptitude, Kanye West took a moment during his recent Madison Square Garden concert to denounce those who use the term in an offensive or derogatory manner, saying: "Open your fucking minds. Open your minds. Be accepting of different people and let people be who they are. You know how many people came to me calling me gay cause I wear my jeans the fresh way? Or because I said hey, dude, how you gonna say 'fag' right in front of a gay dude's face and act like that's okay. That shit is disrespectful. Coming from Chicago, where if you saw somebody that was gay you were supposed to stay ten feet away. It should be time to break out of the insinuations that I was sayin', the stereotypes, or the fear, the backlash that I would get if you don't believe in what I believe in, accepting people for who they are...they're very talented and if they do something special in the world and they're discriminated. I've flown across the world y'all, and I've come back here to tell you — open your minds and live a happier life..." In the past, the public has questioned the sexuality of many rappers based on anything and everything including style of dress. Outkast's Andre 3000 faced rampant rumors of homosexuality when he went from wearing the Hip Hop staple of baggy jeans and t-shirts, to an eclectic mix of furs, flashy colors, and vintage finds. After photos surfaced of Lil Wayne seemingly kissing his mentor Baby on the lips, talk of homosexuality spread like wildfire. With such opposition to homosexuality in Hip Hop, there are bound to be closeted emcees and other Hip Hop entertainment figures. Former closeted record executive Terrance Dean recently released a much-hyped autobiography about that very topic. Most notably in his book, Hiding in Hip Hop, Dean speaks of an anonymous homosexual emcee (referred to as "Eli") that we most likely all know and admire. He says: "Eli was a force to be reckoned with. He flew out the gate with his debut album and would become a mainstay in the ever-changing Hip Hop industry, where many rappers are one-hit wonders. He has been hailed as one of the greatest rappers to bless the mic...Up until that moment I had never heard anything remotely close about the rapper being gay. Eli was a burgeoning superstar who parlayed his marketability into television and movie credits. He even had a promising clothing line." Despite homosexual entertainers still feeling the need to hide their true selves in order to gain or maintain success, the Hip Hop world is slowly beginning to take heed to the idea of more tolerance. Transgendered rapper Foxxjazell had a small feature story in the 360 section of the August issue of XXL. The male-to-female transgendered artist was featured in an article about the difficulties she faces while trying to make a career for herself Hip Hop--including being approached by a major label, only for them to cease communications with her after finding out she is transgendered. Vh1's newest 'celebreality' series I Want to Work for Diddy, follows a group of people vying to be the mogul's newest addition to his personal assistant staff. Included in that group of hopefuls is Laverne, a male-to-female transgendered woman. Though some eyebrows have raised amongst internet blogs, on the show thus far Laverne seems to be rightfully treated as an equal. Is Hip Hop finally maturing into a more all-inclusive, tolerant culture? With burgeoning websites like outhiphop.com, and homorevolution.com, catering to homosexual artists and their fans, it seems to be a growing need. Bound to receive backlash from those unwilling to respect the differences among us all, hopefully the popularity of Kanye West and his brief but strong message to the crowd in New York will open a few closed minds.

^lmfao...I see what Kanye is tryna say but just because your pro-gay doesn't mean everyone is and you have no right to force that on anyone...however...when you see gay people just leave 'em alone if you don;t approve...stop messing with them and being overly disrespectful.

LadyV got a point. Ignore those fuckers. If you oppress them, u will make them victims in the eyes of the world. Hitler genocided the Jews and now they are the wealthiest nation and everyone loves them and supports them. Because everybody feels they were victims (even tho imo they deserved what they got). Same with fags, or any other minority that shouldnt exist.

Kanye is Hip-Pop, he is his own person and he's the only person who ive heard that thinks and acts like him, so his opinion doesnt count for HIP-HOP
go ask some real rappers what they really thing about Gay shit

Seriously, Kanye needs to STFU. If we are homophobic, let us be. I am sure as hell not going to change my mind because of Kanye. Yes, I am homophobic and I have no problem saying this.
The day that rappers start kissing up to faggots is the day I say, "screw it, I am done." You'll begin to hear dudes rapping about their relationships with other men and how they have been bagging guys. You won't have chicks like Melyssa Ford in videos anymore...you'll have guys parading on stage. This is when it becomes outrageous. It's going to be a damn shame to see rappers becoming "more open minded" about faggots. This all a bunch of nonsense.

1)Rappers these days are more into fasion, making money and rap industry is way more widespread with Rap..For Example, Game has an endorment deal with Lonsdale, they pay him money for wearing their shit, now imagine if his Boss was Gay, but invited him to a party..
What i am trying to say is that Rappers are nowdays more business minded,. and to be around yelling Faggots, And all that when Huge % of Marketing people, advertising people, Fasion, Actors, Film Crews anda ll are Gay, ITs Kind Becoming more Business... Besides, if u are a meture rapper and your are into business making 15 Million A Year on Forbes and shit and you got kids and all, i dont think Rappers are as Violent and Dirty Mouthed as They are on the records as in real life. in 1995, Rap was way more different Than Now, Rappers were reckless, no Endorments, no Fasion, no Industry,... Imagine if u are a Top 1 Rapper and YOur single is Doing Crazy Spins and you are selling 600 000 a first week and You wanna reach out to a Great Video Producer and Director to Make YOurself A #1 Hit ON BET and he happens to Be Gay..... I aint defending Gay People, but i am mature and straight enough to admit that its their own business and i have met few gay people in my life who were great(The best) in what they were in terms of Work.. Only Gay People i hate is 1)Homophobic people, like Eminem, Faggets like him are not sure of their own sexuality and most probably in the closet themselves and calling others gay coz they are insecure...Yeah, Em Stans, Come Kill me, You Faggets. 2)Kangay West type of Gay Fucks, who might not be gay, but Drama Queen ass faggets who bitch about every lil thing...My Sister Hates Kangay Coz he bitchz so much... Thats the only Gay People I hate. Put it this way Gay Z P Diddy Kangay West EMinem ======Faggets Elton John Robin Williams Others ==========Gay People, I swear To God, Jesus and Jehova, Put me in the room with Feminem, P diddy, Kangay and Gay Z and I swear on My Mothers Life, I will beat the Fuck out of them, 4 vs 1, and I will beat the fuck out of all 4 of them, i will have them Broosed, left Broken and Crying..
