Where do you get your info from? Get a bigger avatar today!

in the pat robertson thread, Boris mentioned that there is a rising gay rapper... he just said that not saying who it is and all that... made it sound like he just quoted from some odd ass source that didn't know **** about anything...

so boris, who is this gay rapper you referred to? where did you hear of him (because i know you don't know anything about up and coming rappers)?

whats that smell? sniff... smells like we had some bulls up in here


thanks

(and so this won't seem like an attack on boris, how do yall get most of your information? tv news? books? internet sites? are they agenda-based? the newspaper?)

huh... how about that? Caushun: the gay rapper... what is that though? a gimmick? i mean his website is www.thegayrapper.com makes it seem like thats his whole claim to fame and he'll never be nothing but a novelty. but i've never heard of him... i would think he'd be on one of my mixtapes but nah... he seems to be unknown on the philly mixtape circuit... i'll ask around though

yeah i listened to his songs on his website and they're bad... definently not to the standards of a professional, signed recording artist. his delivery is bad and he's off beat but not in the good way that Nas or AZ are off beat. sounds like he's hit a good idea though to get a little fame... i wouldnt be surprised if he's not even gay...

but oh man if he got into beef with other rappers, they woukd have a field day with him... i mean in the past two years, DMX has claimed ja rule had sex with his male hair stylist, Suge Knight and Ja Rule claimed Dr. Dre was gay, dressed in women's clothes and tattoed W(*******)W on his ass, Nas called Jay-Z (whom he referred to as Gay-Z) and I quote, "A ****-riding faggot" (and let's not forget H to the OMO)... etc... poor little Caushun... he don't know what he's getting into...

On the contrary, I think he does. He has no intention of being a serious rapper. He just want to play up the whole gay angle and sell some records to white folks who figure they can punch both their "I respect blacks" and "I respect gays" ticket with one purchase. Never underestimate the economic opportunities available in today's diversity obsessed society.

damn white people are crazy but yeah i do think he's just having a gimmick to get him some attention though i'm not sure where this attention is at. i never heard of him and i just asked two people and they never did either... and i didnt ask, do you know who Caushun is? i asked them if they ever heard of any gay rapper and neither did. he appears unknown in philly though very well known by ABCNEWS and gay news sources.

damn Q Cubed, you a news buff or something... thats an amazing array of sources even in different languages... but whats with the Atlanta Journal? why that paper?

i actually only read the korean and german ones in korean and german (when i can. sometimes i switch to english because i read faster in english). i don't know enough kanji to be literate in japanese, so i read that in english as well. i figure it's better to have news sources near where the news occurs: korean outlets will naturally be better for finding news about say, the taegu subway disaster than say, the la times.

http://news.bbc.co.uk - the BBC
http://www.nytimes.com - the New York Times
http://www.economist.com - the Economist (had a subscription for awhile too, but didn't always have time to read it)
http://www.adevarulonline.ro - Adevarul (one of Romania's main newspapers)
http://www.guardian.co.uk - the Guardian

I tend to get a laugh from:

http://www.theonion.com - The Onion
http://english.pravda.ru - Pravda... ah, no better source for a good laugh or a nice left-wing rant more radical than I would seriously write. And their "science" section has stories that would make good premises for wierd science fiction stories

I occassionally read:

What attack? Fez is the BAM man, it's forum-wide knowledge. Just look at the thread when he was arguing about the French and German economies with el freako. It's become his badge!

AS:

Typical. You asked, I provided. Considering he's been featured on ABC News, in the New York Times and other major news and entertainment outlets, I have demonstrated I bullshit you not. He's certainly more famous than you are, ain't he? Whether or not you and your philly friends have heard of him is irrelevant, since the proof of his notoriety is demonstrated. I said nothing as to his particular talents as a rap artist (like I could judge). But I did say, in the other thread, he was becoming famous. Considering the number of awful rap artists out there who are famous (according to my rap-loving friends), Caushun would not be unique were he to be famous sans great talent.

I did provide a link to a site which promoted plenty of other gay rap and hip-hop artists, though they aren't as well-known. They exist, and are becoming a rather thriving community, by the look of it.

At any rate, you started the thread on the premise I was bullshitting you. I have shown I was not. Your apology will be accepted whenever you offer it.
