I was surprised to read in the article how a lot of gay media aren't supporting our own hiphop music. Those gay media outlets who are ignoring out rappers are really doing themselves and their readers/viewers a disservice. They clearly don't understand their audience. I'm gay and I like folk and dance music as much as anyone else, but I LOVE our hiphop artists.

What's such a shame is that you got gay people like B.Scott,Perez Hilton and Fred of Media Takeout.com that would rather report the latest things in Chris broown,Lady GAGA,brittany spears lives and ignore the outhiphop community. That is unless it's entertaining and demeaning like Foxxjazell on TMZ or Cateyez dissing straight rappers. We had a out gay rapper that had the no.1 video of the year and none of these media outlets felt it worthy enough to report it. It's also the gay community's fault as well because we are so quick to check out the latest Beyonce or Lady Gaga video but the new Johnny Dangerous or Kin video goes unnoticed.We have ourselves to blame honey. Think about this when you are buying the latest Rihanna dance cd(OMG this chile done made so much money off the gay community)Think about this when you go to a outhiphop concert and you say you can't afford to buy a $10 Deadlee cd but yo ass will shell out 16 bucks for the Madonnna remix cd. I HATE TO SOUND PREJUDICE BUT WE NEED TO SUPPORT OUR OWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Congrats to Bry'nt and everyone else featured in the story this is a big thing for the movement.

Congrats to all!!! When media isn't created or geared towards your community you create your own. OHH is a prime example. On the other end artist should spend time promoting themselves. If your album isn't selling it's because there is no audience. Any one can make an album! Lets start living in reality. B.scott became famous because of networking. I would see him in weho passin out flyers and two years later. He's now in NYC doing his thing. Some of you need to start getting ur hands dirty. Sit on the part of the Bus that only mainstream artist are allowed. Translation. Perform at clubs and venues where people wouldn't expect you to. Shake some shit up! Get out ur comfort zones. If only 15 people are coming to see you switch the night and location. This is only the Beginning! Work out Last!

Thats whats up, go ya'll

yeah i would have to agree, gays always talk about how the "straight" people are but do we really do any better? We need to try and stick together more, and maybe we could get more accomplished, and stop always looking for a hand out or for somebody else to do all the work for you.

Cosign Cleveland Wright! Albeit, there may be some rappers that want this to stay as a little small niche within hip-hop (for the sake of it not being co-opted & commercialized), it-is-what-it-is... music! A universal language, which takes on legs and walks around the world and appears in various forms.

For those of us that want nothing less than to see a gay/lesbian rapper on B.E.T. & MTV, we've gotta be willing to go out amongst the mainstream hip-hop populous and rap our truth! Take the reins and walk this shyt to the next level.

Things are either dynamic or static. They either move or they die.

All of you have a wonderful gift to give to the world. Whatever your public/stage persona is... there is some young gay or lesbian child that can totally identify with your message. So, in that context, each and every one of you are relevant to the game.

After the beefs and disses, stay true to your craft and allow yourself to be open to the possibility of reconciliation with a rapper who may have dissed you.

Back-in-the-day, they asked Jesus, "How many times shall we forgive those who trespass (diss) against us?" And Jesus said, "Not seven times, but seventy times seven!" (490 times we should forgive!) (Now that's some Christ-like ish!!!)

At the end of the day, I wanna see Foxx & Pam kickin' it! I wanna hear Shorty Roc & Bry'Nt bringing NY heat together! I wanna see Deadlee and Original doing a track together. I wanna see a united nation of gay and lesbian rappers breaking down barriers, killing stereotypes, burying old beefs that don't mean a hill of beans and doing something new and progressive.

"Gestalt Psychology" teaches that "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts," meaning that there is power in numbers, together we rise, divided we fall, or as our great country was founded on, "E Pluribus Unum" (Out of many [nations] one [people]). Our strength lies in our unity.

As a fan of hip hop and out hiphop. i cosign wit Alize. We need to support our own before we can support their shit.it's a shame Logo pasted on Urban Raiders but they show countless reruns of the l word and queer as folk. As far as all the beefs. Everybody don't get along in the hip-hop game and everyone should be able to voice their dislike for another without being called a hater.

I have been saying this for the longest people... over and over again... "Support Our Own"... but that has fell on deaf ears... Thats why I will continue to tell you guys "Support Shorty Roc, Support Bry'Nt, Support KIN, Support Nhojj, Support Baron, Support Everyone" People tell me that I don't play enough Gay Hip-Hop on my show... and that is nonsense... MUSIC is MUSIC... Why do I have to get rid of all pop music, if I think the underground is being forgotten... My show will continue to be a mix of all of them....Theres nothing wrong with loving Bow Wow, as well as loving Murs, as well as loving Bry'Nt. We have to support music in general or it will suffer.

Another thing is NETWORKING out of your comfort zone... I have str8 listeners cause I network with everyone... not just gay events. A well rounded show is my objective... Both Gay and Str8 already listen tot the same shows.. to my show will continue to serve both communities.. Music doesn't have any a preference... thats what makes music universal... so some of my gay rappers out there.. I would like to see work with some str8 rappers... Hip-Hop is about mixtapes... get on someone else mixtape... some up and coming rapper. I have meet many that have said on MY show that they would work with gay rappers... they just don't know any... Hmmm... how is that... they don't go out of there way to get out their comfort zone either... but that doesn't mean Monkey See Money Do... get out and do... the hell with everyone else... That's how that damn B.Scott has been so successful... no talent.. just networking... The laws of the industry are not going to change for anyone... NETWORK... NETWORK... NETWORK...

DA DOO-DIRTY SHOW IS IN THE MOTHERFUCKING HOUSE
