FYI Kanye is pro-gay (has a gay cousin) which is unheard of in hip-hop - maybe where the rumors come from?

Noreaga- Well, when you light a candle, that’s saluting your dead peoples. Light a Candle. And then, what’s the English Channel? It’s a big pool of water and it’s overseas. So I’m trying to say that when I light a candle I’m that strong that I can run laps around the English Channel. And Neptunes [producers featured prominently on Noreaga’s two solo albums] have a cocker spaniel. ‘Cause they homo.[Pause]
LSD- Oh. All right.
Noreaga- Neptunes is homo. You won’t hear another Neptunes track again on Noreaga again in your life. I didn’t know that they hand was broken. [makes limp-wristed gesture]
LSD- Is this a recent discovery?
Noreaga- It’s a recent discovery after the “Oh No” video. After money had the tight choker on in that video. And we started asking questions, and people from Virginia started telling us that he’s a straight Flagrino. And he takes it up the ass. I cut him off.
LSD- Even though the beats--
Noreaga- Fuck the beats! [laughter] I can’t fuck with nobody that Mohammed used to throw off the hill. You know, Mohammed used to take all the homo niggas in the village, and he’d take ‘em to the top of the hill and he tricked them. He’d tell ‘em ‘Yo, jump down there’, and when they’d jump down there, they killed they self. We don’t fuck with homo. I like lesbians though. I’ma stand up--I like lesbians and dykes. If you’re lesbian and dyke you’re okay to me, but if you’re a homo, I don’t even like you.
LSD- So you’re pretty clear about that.
Noreaga- I’m clear about that. Y’all ain’t homo are you? [laughter]

It's this penny-wise, pound-foolish mentality where a rapper can treat women like shit and promote crass materialism and violence but as long as he's down with gays he won't be regarded as a social retard by the media.
For an example, let's say there are two rappers: Rapper A promotes black literacy and history and downplays material wealth and sex in his music. The thing is he's of the Southern Baptist-mold of black religion and has been known to refer to homosexuals as "fags". Rapper B is your standard chauvinist rapper who instructs women to shake their T&A for him and brags about his wealth, his race, his origin, etc. but he is also for championing homosexual acceptance and condemns homophobia in hip-hop. Assuming they are both equally popular and their stances are equally known (relatively) by people in the media, who do you think is more likely to get magazine covers for bringing "intelligence" back into the mainstream of hip-hop? Who do you think is more "enlightened" and by how much?

It probably makes you a horrible person for supposing that only gay people can die of AIDS.
