Question: is there a particular reason for the across-the-board homophobia in rap music? Seemingly "conscious" rappers are even known for spitting stuff like "...fuck that homo shit..." (Talib Kweli - Too Late). Just curious about both the obvious intentions as well as the possible latent sources...

i don't like the word homophobia. not many people are scared of queers. that doesn't mean they don't like them.

off topic, but sorry.

uh, I'd say anyone who spouts drivel like "THE GAY AGENDA!" and shouts that gays are trying to "undermine traditional marriage" obviously IS QUITE scared of gays.

I dislike the word "homophobia" as well - but as I understand it, its not the literal "fear of homosexuality" as much as it is "anti-homosexuality"... for example, vitamins that are hydrophobic versus hydrophilic... they don't hate water, but they are kinda anti-water.

It's pretty obvious. Rappers are going for a macho image. What is less macho than loving penis?

Rap artists want to be popular with a certain demographic.

Homosexuality is unpopular with said demographic for various socioeconomic reasons.

Thus rap artists are averse to homosexuality.

Doesn't seem all that complicated to me.

I'm not sure I totally believe rappers are homophobes.

I have heard several rap songs instructing me to "suck their dick"

I never comply, but I respect their right to annouce their sexuality.

so homosexuality is unpopular with the particular demographic for what socioeconomic reasons?

because it costs more money to be gay?
because you get tax breaks if you get married?
