Homosexuality and Hip-Hop : The Gay Rapper Thread

"Coyness" is a noun that's effective after the fact -- when the celebrity comes out and explains why they weren't out to the public for years (e.g. Neil Tennant, Ricky Martin).

I've yet to form an opinion on this. I might never form an opinion on this.

huh, apparently mykki's little brother is one of those NRK pyramid people. i guess that kind of makes vague sense.

Black Jewish rapper Y-Love just came out (http://www.out.com/entertainment/music/2012/05/15/y-love-yitz-jordan-hip-hop-jewish-gay)

Latest video, 'focus on the flair'

who are the NRK pyramid people?

the "join my militia" video is quite something. "wavvy" is still a better song though

they are a collective vaguely connected to odd future (matt martians of jet age of tomorrow/the internet is a member of both) who are kind of like OF if they were inoffensive and bland

frank ocean

is not a rapper

srsly

Supa hot is not a rapper

what's rap to a non-rapper who don't rap about anything

well to be fair to curtis i don't think we have a "gay r&b artist" thread

sorry, I was more focused on the "homosexuality and hip-hop" part of the thread title. he works within the rap community; also he has rapped before iirc!!

We've been talking about this extensively on the Frank Ocean thread

Just got posted in the thread for Dark York: Le1f - Dark York (2012): QPOC SHAKUR / #seapunk

You've got to be fast these days...

Spoke to Mykki for five minutes before her show tonight (a few folks I know were involved in setting it up and I showed up a bit early).

Cosmic Angel (the mixtape) is supposed to drop in October with production from Brenmar, Teengirl Fantasy and Physical Therapy, and some other folks I forget. She's recording in LA and SF in the next week or two to finish things up before her European tour.

based on the screencap, I'll pass.

Be grateful you did.

should i go see BIG FREEDIA on thursday night at a small-ish club?!?

I cannot imagine why you (or anyone) wouldn't.

Absolutely. Ass is everywhere.

rev & i talked this out a bit behind the scenes but im not sure i see what the pitchfork article did that this article isn't also doing?

i mean, i think obv there needs to be a balance between defining rappers who are gay as a gay rapper movement & simply ignoring the phenomenon that there are now out gay rappers, (which is to say, there is SOMEthing happening, right?) but I fail to see what the pitchfork article did that made it any worse than what this article is doing.

Do Kpop girl group rappers count?

They're being promoted in a major way.

With the 'Wavvy' premiere and the increased media coverage, I figured it was time for Mykki to get her own thread - Mykki Blanco - 'Wavvy' and the forthcoming Cosmic Angel mixtape

GANGSTA FUCKING BOO

and tricky O_O

Gangsta Boo is great on that but Tricky doesn't work at all. Then again, I've never liked him.

haha i thought tricky had come out of the closet

That's how I interpreted that as well. LOL

i think they both sound really awkward on that track, she's no better than him imo

love this. DDm is the best.

i forget if we're still using this or if we've moved onto another thread, but there's a zebra katz mixtape out today called DRKLNG: https://soundcloud.com/zebrakatz/drklng

Not that surprising, alas:
