From the looks of it, it was a really great year for LGBT musicians and athletes.
I see Ocky all over that number 1. Hahahaha. I didn’t like Throw That Boy but it should be higher up. Maybe number 2
Congrats to all all the LGBT f olks out tbere doing there thing! I was especially feeling #’s 1, 6, 7,14,19
I loved the FYR mixtape this year and I enjoyed the EarthTone EP. I can’t wait for the FYR album! Thanks for putting Siya on here for real! And Metrell Hurst and BryNt
Definitely an on point list. Had some underdawgs and some definite mainstays in LGBT Hip-Hop/R&B. Earth Tone, FYR, and Kore Stacks deserved them nods… I was surprised to not see tha boy Cakes Da Killa on here tho… especially after this track from a few months ago where tha yung boy lived up to his name: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6OI-YJedao
He gotta be one of the hardest spitting gay rappers ever… his soundcloud says so lol: https://soundcloud.com/cakesdakilla
Good far reaching ear overall tho!
I agree with you about Cakes Da Killa. He went HARD on Hot 97 earlier this year. Very talented
A full rap video with a black man modeling church hats and crying? Naw son. Yes dude can rap but that video…nope.
^^^ Things haters say…Like a video wit a nigga sittin in a bed wit a bunch of balloons or a video wit people dancing inexplicably slow at a party is more creative /innovative than this! LMAO!! Y’all kill me…
But compared to what exactly? Some like the vid others don’t, myself included. No hate needed to form an opinion and have personal likes or dislikes.
Lol, I’m was just talkin’ shit bout the hater thing bro. I do think the video does some interesting things to produce a mix of some real ironic, funny, and haunting images running alongside this homoerotic backdrop (the self-gratification, the cum flurry). Think it showcases the conceptually creative range that has started to mark the visuals of LGBT Rappers including Zebra Katz and Mykki Blanco. That’s what I fully meant lol.
Awesome list! Definitely not into “Throw that boy pussy” and some others but for the most part I could be listening these tracks all day long. “Fuck is you” my favorite.
Am I the only one who has no appreciation for LGBT music?
Why no appreciation for black LGBT music?
I just do not like any of the songs listed here. Nor have I heard a song by a LGBT artist that had me saying “This the jam right hea!”
It doesn’t mean that these are bad tracks, they just don’t resonate with me either lyrically, production wise, or melodically. I’m glad these folks are doing their things but it’s just lost on me. :/
It’s funny how you can listen to something, and yet not really “hear” it. That Earth Tone joint–I remember when y’all first featured him on the Ave, and I listened to the track. But–in reviewing this list–today was the first time I actually “HEARD” it! In “F*ck Is You?”, this N*gga is rappin’ ’bout MY LIFE! How did I F*ckin’ miss that the first time around??? That Sh*t is DOPE! It’s DEEP!
And it’s soooo me.
