R.A. the Rugged Man: Macklemore's Using Gay Agenda for Fame

[5th Letter]

You're arguing points I'm not even making. I'm telling you how hip hop has historically been. I'm not telling you my opinion. There is a reason why people hid their sexuality. Matter of fact peep Mister Cee's last interview with Ebro. He himself knows how gays are treated in the culture that's why he hid the fact that he was attracted to tranny's.

America has historically been racist and classist...Does that make it right?...I have made fun on many a gay myself...But Ion hate them...Ion think they deserved to be shunned from hip hop...And that's all Macklemores song was about...All this "gay agenda" shit sounds stupid...Now...Why don't you just ban gay threads in the reason?...Answer that, please sir.

Let me clue you in on something. The industry is ran by Jews and gays behind the scenes. So if a white non threatening rapper wanna make gay right ballads you don't expect them to push that record? Look at all the praise Macklemore got on MTV at the awards for making that record. You are being naive.

Now I do believe with the way things are now hip hop is probably more open to accept gays than say 10-20-30 years ago. There are gays working in and around the hip hop industry. Just not any known artists are gay. These rappers want to look tough because that's what hip hop is by nature. They don't know how the fans would respond to a gay rapper.

Bruh how many gay threads are on the front page? You're acting like the entire front page is flooded with gay threads. So what I'm saying is that instead of coming in this thread pissing and moaning about folks shitting on your favorite culture vulture, why not just not post in those threads?

 

[A1000MILES]

So you say all that to say you don't wanna ban gay threads...Okay, lol...Y'all have a good one, I won't post in here anymore...Peace.

*didn't watch*

It was actually a dope interview..

Hearing a white guy speak about the hidden agenda,

which Is the effeminization of the black male..

He spoke about how HipHop used to be conscious/hardcore/lyrical,

now you have rappers more worried about fashion than lyrics..

He said the same thing happened with rock music..

In the beginning there was the 'God Father' of Rock n Roll, Chuck Berry (a black man)..

Then once Elvis got in they dressed him like a pretty boy,

then came the 80's and all the Rock stars started wearing make up, blouses, and pantyhose..

the feelings always come out with her rainbow coalition.

 

[BamBamMr7Gram]

it's all cool to be gay til your sons teacher calls from school saying he's been kissing other boys then you muthafuckas will regret condoning this fuckery

 

[loch121]

I been saying this and Childish Gambino spoke on it too

He sky rocketed after that song and The Ellen show

 

[loch121]

So macklemore is a homo

IDK if he's gay.he claims he's not, but has like a gay cousin or something

he blew up off a song speaking on gay rights when Ellen put him on her show and speaks at gay rallies and shit

murs actually did it 1st and kissed a man in the video.I haven't rocked w/ him the same since

And as homo that song and video was it didnt make Murs a national name and he was a much more respected MC than Macklewhore...that the racial component.

 

[loch121]

Hip hop is anti gay...

1. Why?...Are you saying that all blacks are inherently anti-gay?...Or that all blacks associated with the early days of hip hop were solely heterosexual?...Cause you'd be wrong.

2. So gay people can't enjoy the culture...?

3. But it's okay for niggas to have prison goons on deck that fuck their enemies in the ass...Or for niggas to have girlfriends who have girlfriends...That's not gay...?

Most blacks that come from a hyper masculine or religious environment aren't that open to gay shit. If it's a man who's late 20's and older that shit is some weird shit to you. It just wasn't something that was considered cool at all.

gay ppl already enjoy the culture,it's just that hip hop is built on that same hyper masculine environment black ppl are from, but even more masculine

Besides that BIG line, I can't say niggas walk around proud to know homo rapists, except Ray J.

Man on man sex and 2 females is nothing a like. Women don't actually penetrate each other,besides fingers and toys

women are naturally more touchy and 2 women together is just beautiful, unless they're dikes.I have no use for another dude and damn sure not 2, but I can do a whole lot with 2 bitches.4 tits,2 pussies,2 mouths,2 assholes,and 4 butt cheeks

2 men together is like some real nasty shit.2 hairy ass men all on each other just makes me feel sick, but hey different strokes...... pun intended

I would say yes, but Macklemore is also a whole lot more commercial, newer, and comes from Seattle, the home of indie music.

Maybe if Ellen put Murs on her show he would have gotten much bigger,pause, but he's too underground and he's an older dude who been out for a long time

I have been saying for last few years that HipHop is now at where Rock was in the 80's...

hes right macklemore is using the gay agenda to promote himself. No other rapper went that route before so he felt since no one talked about it he can use it and create his own lane . the lil battymons is supporting him

 

[LUClEN]

Hip hop by nature is anti gay.

Yes and no. Hip hop is really schizophrenic about homosexuality. On one hand you have people who consider the word faggot to be the worst insult a man can be called, and on the other hand you have grown men dressing really really gay with their underwear showing. Men buy albums with shirtless greased up rappers on the cover.

Boondocks touched on this. The homies over hoes mentality that was spreading. Hip hop is influenced somewhat by prison culture. That is not exactly the most heterosexual influence.

We have threads with pages and pages of gay hip hop lyrics. Some even come from the so called GOATs

Nicki Minaj did it first.

 

[MR.CJ]

Put it in a rap

 

[Wild Self]

if it wasnt for 90's babies....no one would know who Macklemore was...im just saying......................yall niggaz gay

who gave birth to them 90s babies, anyway?

 

[VYOENDETTA]

OR maybe he spoke on it because he felt it was necessary for a hip hop head to do so. Anything else is speculations and assumptions... This is stupid in my opinion. I believe macklemore makes good music and he chose to speak on one topic... that's like saying Nas use gangsta rap as an avenue to fame... or RA the rugged man used black hip hop culture to rise to fame... all assumptions and opinions on things that no one can ever prove right or wrong.

 

[blackgod813]

I like the ra

If you listen to the song Macklemore says his uncle is gay, so it's not like he has no personal investment in the topic.

Where did you get this idea that hip hop is influenced by the jail culture? Hip hop started out as a lifestyle and you had different elements to this lifestyle. Whether it's djing, graffiti, break dancing or emceeing. If anything hip hop was an escape from the streets where young black and Latino males can put their energy into something more positive instead of violence or drug dealing. Hip hop's early roots were competition and out doing the next man. Since these hip hop acts came from the streets a lot of these dudes were against homosexuality. Hence why people coming in hip hop (if they were gay) was afraid to show their true sexual orientation. It could damage their rep. In other forms of entertainment we've had gay people have long prominent careers. (Elton John, Liberace, lead singer from Queen etc). That lifestyle is acceptable in those forms of entertainment.

Guys having their shirts off on album covers is a stupid logic on your part.
