Homosexuality and Hip-Hop : The Gay Rapper Thread

RIP B.I.G

maybe I'm just unaware of the significant number of women lurking in men's bathrooms but that just seems unlikely

yeah it seems unlikely to me but idk -- was a bathroom involved?

I thought that was the whole story? He was busted in a public restroom getting head from a guy?

i just read these three tweets re: biggie and homosexuality:

^^^OMG!!! What??? Really???

Yeah that type of the mentality make so called "straight" people use their privilege to engage in homosexual acts but then deny that they are somewhat attractive to the same gender. Why engage in something like that if you are not remotely attractive to that same person? Once again, "straight" men are just strange.

You can be attracted to people of the same sex and engage in same-sex acts, but I don't think that makes you gay unless it constitutes the full extent of your sexual preferences.

(Some of us don't consider ourselves straight OR gay.)

lol does nicki minaj really qualify as bisexual in any serious discussion on the matter

not necessarily (although she gave an interview to Out Magazine fwiw), i was just pointing out that she's a bigger current star with more overt bisexual lyrics/image than Missy after Missy was brought up

oh it was a car, lol

basically all of the George Michael stories make me assume ppl are always getting busted in bathrooms

is this the part where we list every 80s/90s hiphop song featuring a rapper getting hoodwinked by a tranny

cuz man it sure seemed to happen a LOT back in the day

minaj has played eye-rollingly coy on the subject of her own sexuality but you certainly can't have a discussion of hip-hop and homosexuality without talking about what she's brought to the table

HAHA, Shakey, I was gonna start a post like that a few years ago

what she's brought to the table

DAT ASS?

if only there was some word we could use for people who are attracted to both men and women!

Cute Whiney. But you know as well as I do that the idea of bisexual men are seen as boogie men. They shouldn't be seen as that, but our society isn't as accepting.

Bi men are loathed even more than gay men IIRC.

bi men aren't so much loathed as just...disbelieved

like the idea of bisexuality is just not even considered most of the time

People who don't identify with any sexual preference is all well and good. However, they are only seen as a problem if they publicly enforce the heterosexual mindset of society in order to fit in.

lol i thought about starting a thread about this

Disbelieved by gay men, mostly.

Yeah and it's a fucked up idea too. It's okay for women to be bisexual because that means a straight guy can fantasize about two women getting it on. But men have to be either gay or straight - no ambiguity at all.

Disbelieved by gay men, mostly.

You forgot feared and disbelieved by straight women too.

cue the violins

"chill, took off that mustache, grabbed that ass and I fucked her" rappers straight up having problems with telling genders apart thread

cue the violins

Apathy can be as worse than down outright hate.

You forget that men, in general, have no ambiguity at all.

I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying, every man in the world is straightforward in their sexuality or opinions? They have no complexity whatsoever?

You can be attracted to people of the same sex and engage in same-sex acts, but I don't think that makes you gay unless it constitutes the full extent of your sexual preferences.

You're kind of proving lex's point here.

pretty cool how a guy who confesses that he doesn't have many straight friends is fronting like he's an expert on straight dudes in the same thread

everyone post how many irl friends you have itt

24

don't ask me if dead friends count because I don't know right now, it is a question I've been thinking of a lot lately because a couple people I know have died

just include them for now

dead people are not irl

well see, the thing is I had a friend who committed suicide recently and sometimes when I walk around I think about him, and I wonder if the thoughts that I have about him really should even exist anymore, because he doesn't really exist anymore irl, but does he?, and thinking about him, while walking around, makes me sad, but sometimes it doesn't, so should I even think about people at all, I've been thinking about it recently

also he would only add one to the people I know total so its not that big of a deal in that respect but it may be a big deal in other respects

~~ghosts~~

you should think about him

whatever else he was, he was always an idea in our head, and that idea is still there, it is still "real" in a literal sense

yeah that's pretty much the direction I'm gravitating towards, also, it's like, if I think about him, then I think about him, nothing more nothing less, but then again, its still kind of confusing

pretty cool how a guy who confesses that he doesn't have many straight friends is fronting like he's an expert on straight dudes in the same thread

Maybe I should have clarified that I don't have that many close straight male friends, but the ones I do have we discuss these issues fairly regularly. So I do have interactions with people from different orientations.

Also, what is wrong with talking about the unbalance, complex issue of how western World sees sexuality. That doesn't mean I'm fronting like an expert. This shit has been going on for awhile.

I think the point you are missing is that sexuality can be fluid and isn't necessarily something that's set in granite?

xpost I think he's arguing people who use the "fluidity" defense only when they're caught getting head from a MOTSS in a men's bathroom.

Western society hasn't fully accepted this mindset. If we did, then Mister Cee having sex with a transsexual wouldn't be seen as a big deal.

Eric otm - it's really about privilege.

now its a tranny?

i thought it was just a guy?

it was always a tranny

which is why i asked if it was possible that mr cee didn't know it was a dude (highly unlikely i know)

The person Mister Cee was with is a male who dresses like/and maybe identifies with women. Hence he's transsexual.

Taken from Oxford Dictionary:

transsexual |tran(s)ˈsek sh oōəl|
noun
a person born with the physical characteristics of one sex who emotionally and psychologically feels that they belong to the opposite sex.
