I disagree with some on here, I've always seen hip hop as a projection of the rapper's personality, what they stand for and what they think and I think in hip hop it DOES matter since hip hop is so different from other genres. Theres not much ambiguity in it generally and despite how the media likes to pretend homophobias gone it hasen't, the attitudes still there just as racism is, it's fading yeah but it's also FAR from gone, anyone who livesin the uk like me I think would tell you that. What I do find SURPRISING is that we haven't had a big gay rapper yet since despite the image hip hop HAS what true hip hop has always been ABOUT is standing up to adversity, venting out what you feel and shaping the public conciseness... i'd personally welcome a gay rapper who was actually dope. creative and bringing something to the table, who could not just devide opinions or not be accepted by hip hop (imagine the hunger that would bring to said gay rapper) but devide opinions of the general publict too, thats my two cents
there are no actions just reactions
