The Top 10 Rap Songs: "All Rappers but Me are Gay"

Not being a fan of contemporary music, I had no idea that there was such a dramatic difference in genres.  Not so much in theme: most songs are about getting, losing,or being in a romantic relationship.  But in the race and gender of the singers, the degree to which they know their way around a gym, and especially their attitude toward gay people.

I've gone through the top country-western and pop songs and singers of the week, so now let's try the top 10 R and B, Hip Hop, and Rap songs of the week of June 1.

Excluding those covered under Pop.

1. Tyler the Creator, "Erfquake."  She so wicked her love shakes me up like an earthquake. 

At least he has a physique (top photo), or as a commentator says, "LOL at Tyler the Creator's genetics.

He is rumored to be gay.  He stated "I had a boyfriend when I was 15.  If that's not open minded, I don't know what is."  But then he drew back, claiming that "boyfriend" was "a figure of speech."

2. J. Cole, "Middle Child."  I'm rich and famous, and I'm making a list of people I intend to shoot."  

No romantic relationships mentioned.

I found several references to homophobic lyrics in his music.

3. Beyonce, "Before I Go."  My boyfriend is hot, so when we go out dancing, we always leave together.

Beyonce and her husband Jay Z (left) are gay allies.  She received the GLAAD Vanguard Award in 2019.

4. Summer Walker X Drake, "Girls Need Love" I just need a dick, I just need a thug, won't you be my plug, baby?

Nothing gay or homophobic on Summer Walker or her co-singer Drake (left), except for a facebook post claiming that he sings about "gay shit like missing bitches."  Wait -- missing your girlfriend means that you are attracted to men?

5.D. J. Khaled, "Wish Wish." I'm rich and famous, spending all my time counting my money and buying jewelry, so I don't have time for the bitches who come around. 

Sort of sounds like he's not into girls.

6. D. J, Khaled, "Higher." I keep getting richer and richer, and I've killed some people.

This isn't the same performer as Khalid.  He was dragged for a 2015 interview in which he stated that a wife should do things in bed that a husband won't do, so I'm going to assume that he also dislikes gay people.

7. Meek Mill, "Going Bad.":  I'm so rich and famous, I gave my girl $10,000 to blow at the mall.

Meek Mill got some GAY rumors after he posted a picture of him and Diddy in MATCHING OUTFITS.

He also posted a diss track claiming that his rap nemesis Game is GAY, can't get any bitches into his bed, and isn't even a real gang member. He probably never even killed anybody!

So gay men want to be with women, they just can't get any.  Got it.

8. Mustard and Migos, "Pure Water." I'm so rich and famous, a lot of bitches be after me.

Mustard is a producer, and Migos a rap trio.  When one of their songs had the lyric "I cannot vibe with queers," they explained that it didn't mean gay people, it meant stalkers.














9. A Boogie Wit Da Hood, "Look Back on It"  I'm rich and famous, so all the girls want to have sex with me, but they aren't any good at it, except for my girlfriend.

Boogie, aka Julius Dubois, has GAY rumors, naturally.

10. Polo G., "Pop Out."  I'm rich and famous, I've killed a lot of people, and I'm a killer with the ladies.

Gay rumors, homophobic lyrics, yada yada yada.

Themes: 7 of the 10 songs discuss being rich and famous. 5 love or sex, plus in another 2, the singer claims that he's too rich and famous to have sex. 3 mention killing people.

Diversity:  All of the rappers are black. Two are female.

Gay Themes:  None.  Only one of the artists is a gay ally. 4 have homophobic lyrics or statements.

Gay Rumors:  4 of the 8 male performers!  What's up with that?  Either there are a lot of closeted rappers, or gay rumors are used for general disrespect in the rap community.
