Openly Gay Rapper

[Jockel]

meh. I could care less about his preferences...

Glad to see that you care.

Regarding topic: Who gives a shit? Oh wow some dude is gay, I'll call the newspapers.
This is the 21st century, better start acting like it.

attention whore much?

Any evidence that he's actively pushing the gay angle himself? Or is it just the fact that the industry is so homophobic that a gay rapper is news?

Actually, there is evidence

"Loco’s determined to be the first Rapper that happens to stir the mainstream charts while being an “Out Gay” Artist/Entertainer."

source his homepage, "about Loco" http://www.thelocoworld.com/about-loco/

only his music talent shuld be relevent for his profession.. so attention whore much

OK...maybe this sounds like a dumb question but...what does him being gay have to do with anything? I don't in all seriousness see how it makes even the slightest difference. One of my best friends is gay, and if he hadn't have outright told me I don't think I'd even have noticed. He's no different to the rest of my friends. He plays pool, he drinks, he makes cutting remarks about Justin Bieber and the many reasons why he should be burned at the stake. The fact that he prefers the company of men makes literally no difference to his personality or his abilities.

So why would being gay have anything to do with being a rapper? Unless he suffers from some sort of debilitating mental damage that prevents his vocal chords from working unless he's got the cast of the YMCA dance as his backup singers, I don't see why his sexuality needs to be noteworthy. If he's rapping for gay rights then fair enough. But if he's using his sexuality to stand out from the crowd in an effort to make money, then frankly he makes me sick. Not because he's gay, but because he's a bell-end. As was stated by koimayeul, only his musical talent should be in question here.

Of course in the Age of Bieber, having musical talent is strictly optional for a musical career. It's all about the gimmick.

I find it difficult to think of any mainstream artists who get by on talent alone, particularly in rap, it's also image. Are rappers who bang on about how many women they get attention whoring their heterosexuality? I'm pretty sure if you look at your favourite artists you'll see them wearing distinctive clothes, doing photoshoots, marketing t-shirts, having a unique logo....

 

[Shinigami357]

Eh. I don't see the fuss, to be honest. The guy's doing his 'thang' [wait, isn't that more of an urban slang rahter than rap?] in terms of music and, uh, physical/emotional/sexual practices.

I'd give the man [girl? wtf do they want us to call them without sounding sexist/discriminatory? I'm sort of unclear on this] the benefit of the doubt. If he says he's gay and there's no strong evidence [i.e. not circumstantial] to suggest that he isn't, then why doubt him? And why deprive him of the publicity it generates? The whole entertainment industry, has this intrinsic value of being built upon publicity [and sadly, sometimes talent takes a backseat]. You could do worse [y'know, like *cough*Paris*cough* and *cough*Kim K*cough*].

Doesn't look very loco to me. There's there's a word I could use to describe him but I'll leave that up to your imagination.

 

[Eternal Myst]

If anybody was wondering what his sound was like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuC-6NMQx1c

 

[Kwama57]

nothing outstanding so generic rap and annoying music though :/

 

[Serina]

*facepalm*

I said this earlier ->

"the good news, clearly, is that everyone here is of sound mind - so of course it's not a big deal. the rest of the world, though, isn't quite as sane as we are."

I'm gonna make a thread that says: Openly female Temper... Just to see if it generates ANY interest whatsoever...

actually openly female tempers always shock me.

 

[NiGHtS]

I was under the impression every rapper was openly gay.

This.

I was going into this thread with this thought...

I agree. What does his sexual preference have to do with his music? Why would people care? People still buy albums and jizz their pants over them.

Look at Justin Bieber and User.

Do you mean Usher?

I actually think Usher has some amazing songs. Don't compare him to JB.

 

[RoyalCardMan]

Well, I wouldn't care either if he was gay or not(if he is, of course). The only thing that matters is his personallity. Yes, I kind of disagree with homosexuality, since it isn't humanly possible to be homosexual, but you can only act like one. But, at the same time, I respect him for his opinions.

So, I wouldn't give a shnanagon about his sex life. What I don't get is how we mixed music with sex?

Whoa that was a terrifying misread.. I've read "Openly gay raper"

 

[DeathStrudel]

huh? I think you're a bit confused about what homosexuality is

 

[smile72]

RoyalCardMan do you know what homosexuality is?

Not THAT guy... Ugh, a thread already got locked the other day with his participation [not blaming him entirely, but he was part of it]. Ignore him.
