Angel Haze recently addressed the perception of people who are gay within Hip Hop.
“Being gay in Hip Hop is still really stigmatized,” Haze says in an interview with XXL. “There are so many people in this world that are closet homosexuals. I guess I’m ‘out,’ but people ask me what my sexuality is all the time and I always tell them that it doesn’t matter. You don’t deserve to go through that and you don’t have to let that define who you are.”
Haze says she was “reluctant to do ‘Same Love,’” a cut about her sexuality that was released in 2013.
“I was so reluctant to do ‘Same Love,’ because I get so caught up on people thinking of me as a queer rapper, I don’t discuss my sexuality in my music,” Haze says. “But I’ve always said to myself that an artist is a person who has something to say and isn’t just a part of the noise. Adele is one of those artists for me. So are Frank Ocean and J. Cole, people who have something genuine to say and won’t just add to the room full of chatter.”
Haze’s “Same Love,” patterned after Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ song of the same name, features lyrics about the rapper’s upbringing and sexual preference. “At age thirteen, my mom knew I wasn’t straight,” she raps on the track. “She didn’t understand, but she had so much to say / She sat me on the couch, looked me straight in my face / And said you’ll burn in hell or probably die of AIDS.”

She seems to be some real down ass chick, too bad her music is garbage
Word
Gay people are going to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!
Word, we need to start up another Holocaust or enslave them with the blacks
How come Hip-Hop is the only genre getting this gay agenda shoved down its throat?? ‘Still highly stigmatized’ its highly stigmatized & frowned upon everywhere! Stop trying to single out Hip-Hop & make a big deal out of nothing!
“its highly stigmatized & frowned upon everywhere!”
I disagree. Hip-hop is one of the most homophobic genres despite doing some of the most suspect things like wearing skirts and kissing guys on the mouth.
Show me the gay acceptance in Rock or Country ^^^
Michael Stipe (R.E.M.), Elton John, Freddie Mercury?
Wrong ^
Damn this chick can get it. Too bad she lezzy cuz she is totally fuckable!
your standards must not be good
her mom is right!
even though weezy, birdman and young thug all kiss guys on the mouth
ayo this chick to fine to be gay. i’d knock the dust off tha pussy.

We don’t need faggots ruining hip hop
This bitch hurt in the face anyway, she basically had no choice but to be gay
Her mom was right
But her moms was right…
Her mom was on point.. God dont like fags like me
Your god’s a cunt

Notice she aint mention her dad, they nigga left before she got corrupted by the gay disease
I know her mom wish she aborted her

Now just ban these fags from adopting kids
Why? They’re generally nice people and productive members of society.
nope, we don’t need Satan’s warriors on our land
satans warriors… LOL you are delusional.
i would rather have a child in a stable “gay” household than move around in foster care for life.
We need to lynch this hoe
lynch yourself foo
What does J. Cole have to say? Oh, I forgot, other peoples lines.
something about faggots not getting offended about being called faggots.
Dead
show no love to these homo thugs.
Can I eat your butthole for like 5 minutes, Angel?
if you put on a wig
The only real problem I have with Angel Haze is that she does nothing but extremely complex lyrics… She’s technically good, just not particularly intonative.
She’s completely right when it comes to the main statement though. We need more talented LGBT rappers (queercore shouldn’t exist as a separate genre – not even because it’s bad, but because it implies separation).
Cakes is dope
No the fuck we don’t
THE KING OF NEW YORK PAPOOSE DON’T WANT ANY GAY IN THIS HIP HOP SHIT
LONG LIVE THUGACATION
bahhaha
Normal people have no problem with gay women like Angel; the concept 99% of the world’s population find baffling is two men finding each other sexually appealing. I’m cool with anyone, and I appreciate gays can’t help how their brains are wired, but sex with a dude is something most sane people could never contemplate, just like most normal people would never use a needle to inject poison into their veins, but hey, to each his own.

I had no idea HHDX had so much in common with people from the Westboro Church. But I too need to hear what Lord Jamar has to say about this first, then I will make my opinion based on what he says. He’s the be all end all of HHDX.
