By: Amanda Anderson-Niles

ASAP Rocky might be one of the hottest rappers on the scene right now, but he’s already found himself in the middle of a rare controversies. His most recent one is centered around some comments he made about black women and lipstick, and the rapper pretty much angered a lot of black women when he suggested only fair-skinned women could drag of red lipstick. His comments even got him dragged on Twitter by female rapper Azealia Banks, and in the middle of her rant she even accused the rapper of being gay. Interestingly enough, ASAP has already made it clear in interviews that he’s not proud of the evidence that Hip Hop has an ignorant mentality towards homosexuality. He said he wishes people in the Hip Hop community would be more open-minded and not continue to permit the industry be so homophobic. However, in his recent interview with 106 KMEL, he got visibly annoyed when the subject came up and he was called a homosexual rights activist. He demanded right then and there for people to no longer ask him any “gay stuff” in interviews:

“I’m not a gay righ

HarlemnativeA$AP Rocky recently sounded off on "the gay thing" in hip hop during an interview with Alexander Wang for Interview Magazine. The "Goldie" rapper says he wants to exploit his platform as an artist to let people know how he feels about the hot button topic.

“So now that I’m here and I’ve got a microphone in my hand and about 6,000 people watching me, I need to announce them how I feel," he said. "For instance, one big issue in hip hop is the gay thing. It’s 2013, and it’s a shame that, to this evening, that topic still gets people all excited. It’s crazy. And it makes me upset that this topic even matters when it comes to hip hop, because it makes it seem like everybody in hip hop is small-minded or stupid -- and that’s not the case."

Rocky said that he treats everybody equal and he wants his listeners and followers to carry out the same. "We’ve got people like Jay-Z. We’ve got people like Kanye. We’ve got people favor me. We’re all prime examples of people who don’t think like that. I treat everybody identical, and so I crave to be sure that my listeners and my followers do the identical if they’re gonna symbolize me. And if I’m gonna represent them, then I also want to do it in a good wa

This is the second part to a two-part series called Homosexuality in Hip-Hop. If you haven’t already, please read part one here.

In the first part of this series, we took a step advocate to look at how homosexuality was viewed in hip-hop for years, and how it’s slowly but surely progressed. While a lot of it was due to progressing views overall as a nation, some of those conservative ideas have still held a lot of people back. The big difference now, however, is that artists are using their voices to advocate for this cause, no matter what sort of response they might receive.

Similarly enough, I might receive a bit of backlash for mentioning this name in a hip-hop blog, but I couldn’t give a flying fuck. This tune was so important and influential, especially considering the time and context, that it must be mentioned. One of the most eye-opening songs that talked about homosexuality was Macklemore’s “Same Love”. Say whatever you may about him (personally I found his music catchy but never gave it much more attention than what was on the radio), but you cannot deny the effect that that ballad had, whether positively or negatively.

Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky caused some controversy when he appeared next to openly gay NBA player Jason Collins and introduced Macklemore's show of "Same Love" at the MTV Video Music Awards. Rocky was visibly uncomfortable while Collins spoke about creature gay and expressing hope for lgbtq+ acceptance, and then awkwardly promoted A$AP Ferg's new album as soon as Collins finished speaking.

In a brand-new interview with Stashed, however, Rocky says he regrets the look he had on his deal with that night. “I’m mad that my facial expressions was like that because I’m not homophobic at all, and that whole thing just came off real homophobic,” the rapper said at Jay Z's Made in America festival. “I didn’t really notice it until I got dwelling and saw it. I apologize to Jason for that, because people was laughing and sh-t, and you know… I really don’t think that’s amusing. I saw they were making all the memes and pictures and making fun of him."

Rocky also offered up the "I recognize gay people"-defense: "Truthfully I got queer people in my family. I don’t give a f--k if you same-sex attracted or you not, I just launch it odd that MTV wanted to stand me next to this n---a when they are talking about lgbtq+ people, th
