That sounds ****in crazy. What I wouldn't give to hang around with lots of lesbians and watch them get off with each other. ****ing mental. Fair play to you!!!

So, eh, how do you go about attractin' such females??

Disclaimer : In my last post I was joking. No offence was meant to those girls who play for the same team.

u know, I have no idea why that happened to me. I dont' really hang out in dyke bars or anything like that. wait, I know why, I am quite attacted to "butch" looking girls. tom boyish, short hair... maybe that's why...

I guess it is fate that I am the one to bring them out of closet.

a defense of Eminem, anyway...

Eminem is about more than misogony and violence. I don't know how much of his work you are familiar with, so this is not really a personal attack.. however, your knowledge of Eminem seems to be limited to hearing NPR play the "my words are like a dagger with a jagged edge/that'll stab you in the head.." (gaybaiting) clip. I mean, c'mon. That was two albums ago. The only misogony on "The Eminem Show" was the relatively tame whiny-singer-songwriter "Superman" stuff. And what about "Lose Yourself" and "Rabbit Run"? Are those "misogynistic" too?

Eminem is not a perfect artist. His work is grotesque, sometimes even quasi-pornographic. But you're charicaturing your own position by reserting to stereotypes.

for example, I'm a Beatles fan... But the Beatles were about a lot more than "show me the love." For the time, a lot of their work was remarkably hard-edged. Lennon's sugar-coated dadaist visions (I Am the Walrus, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds) were banned from the radio in their day.

"yellow matter custard/dripping from a dead dog's eye... crab-a-locker fishwife/pornographic priestess/boy you been a naughty girl/you let your knickers down!" you can see the same combination of school boy taunts, folk rhythems (sp), and sexual references in Eminem's work.

"women wave your pantyhose/sing the chorus and it goes.."
Slim Shady and the Walrus. both examples of artists using an alias to create distorted, absurdist worlds.

or Bob Dylan. I mean, the way he chants/sneers his songs, he's practically a rapper already. or the lyrics

"you might hear laughing, spinning/ swinging madly across the sun/ its not aimed at anyone/its just escaping on the run"

"so many lives I've touched, so much anger aimed/in no particular direction, just sprays and sprays/straight through the radiowaves, it plays and plays/ till it stays/ stuck in your head for days and days"

Em is more rhetorical, less focused on images, but that's because of the nature of rap.

anyone, I'm going on, and on, but do you see what I'm getting at?

Ja Rule = Batty

I say let anyone say anything on their albums...I mean, it is their album. And if what they say gets them into trouble, then that's what they get. Or if people don't like what he says, then they won't buy it.
Then again, if what he says causes controversy, and controversy sells, then he might see album sales and negativity as a result. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Shit, you can even protest outside the record company with signs.
I'm sorry if you take shit so personal, you probably shouldn't, cause' you're not gonna change his mind. As a matter of fact, all the protest probably makes him write more of it.

is there also anti-homophobic rap? I know one example, an old one: Language of Violence, by the disposable heroes of hiphoprisy.

there are also gay and lesbian rappers. I think Caushun is the most famous one, but there are probably many others.

it's not surprising at all that hiphop in general is homophobic. It's got a hyped up ultra-macho "I'll do anything to prove how manly and tough I am" attitude. being homophobic kinda goes with that territory. I personally doubt there will be alot of acceptance for a gay rap star.
