Homosexuality and Hip-Hop : The Gay Rapper Thread

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?

au contrare

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.

transvestite not transexual surely

probably not tho

So Wendy Williams is back at it again airing out the wrong folks. First, Method Man and his wifey. Now--DJ Mister Cee from Hot 97. The other day, Wendy talked about a certain DJ, who she tried to keep nameless but made hella obvious, who participates in some "tranny activities". No, Wendy wasn't talking about activities with herself, but with some actual trannies

did ethan write that headline?

transvestite not transexual surely

I always thought transsexual was the umbrella term for all the sexual orientation trans- terms.

whoa 2007

transvestite not transexual surely

why surely

because one means that you dress as the other sex while the other means you have your bits chopped off.

oh is that what those mean?

lol, i can't even get mad i know what to expect on here when these kinds of issues are broached at this point.

Alicia Leafy Green Dragon Indigo Girl,

because one means that you dress as the other sex while the other means you have your bits chopped off.

Nope

+ your bits get inverted, really

there was some discussion on the kids in the hall thread about the distinction in the way KITH wore women's clothes and the way Monty Python did, but I don't know if that neatly divides along the transvestite/transgender axis

Aw man ilx ate my explanatory post.

i've seen the term "non-op transsexual"

anyway quite obviously you can identify as a transsexual before you actually go through the operation -- in fact my reading of the situation is that it's a completely MANDATORY part of the deal, seeing as no surgeon will do the operation without the person having lived as a transsexual for years prior

yeah transvestites are typically straight men who either get off or just think it's fun to dress up as ladies. Literally just wearing the vestments of the other.

Drag queens are a diff thing entirely, as are transgendered ppl

As far as I know: yup.

ok sorry for not being a dictionary.

you're a pre-op dictionary

true dat.

whats this abt meth?

i think it's referring to this, from a few years ago:

In 2006 Method Man had a highly personal and highly publicized conflict with TV talk show host Wendy Williams on The Breakdown, an internet show on ONLOQ.com. Williams talked on air about Method Man's wife having cancer, which was something he had wanted to keep private and even her own family members had not yet known about. He said that people who lived next door to him didn't even know, but Williams had dug it up and made it public over the radio.[13]

Williams also reported rumors that Method Man had even been having an affair with his wife's doctor. Method Man first heard of this while in recording sessions in Los Angeles.
“ She said me and [the doctor] was fucking. What kind of shit is that, man? You don't do that to nobody. I was ready. I was so mad, I was crying right there and I'm like, "I'm gonna kill some fucking body" but my [Wu-Tang] friends kept me in L.A.[14]

woah method is ice cold in this....

Yo Majesty are both lesbians. I guess they don't have to deal with issues of masculinity but instead a host of other issues of sexism instead. They seem to have handled it pretty well, but have gone off the radar (hopefully working on more stuff).
