Gayngsta Rapper Deadlee Launches a “Homorevolution”

1/24/07, 5:55 pm EST

Deadlee

Los Angeles-based gay rapper Deadlee has organized a headlining tour for himself and a collection of gay, lesbian and bisexual Gayngsta rappers (his word, not ours). The Homorevolution Tour 2007 (again, all him) will travel to ten cities and will treat ticket buyers to performances by a collection of gay and lesbian performers you’ve likely never heard of (including Johnny Dangerous, Delacruz, Melange Lavonne, Salvimex, Bigg Nugg and JFP).

Deadlee is sick of the latent homophobia in hip-hop and has decided to do something about it, starting with accusing the bulk of the genre’s gay bashing, chart topping stars of being secretly into each other. “He can suck my gun,” Deadlee reportedly spat when asked about 50 Cent’s history of making anti-gay comments. “He is a classic man who had Homo-feelings and chooses to lash out because he is afraid he might act out on his true feelings. 50 Cent has deep rooted homosexual tendencies.” Then he went after Eminem saying that the notoriously gay-bashing rapper “might be a fag himself.”

We’re thinking that Deadlee’s gonna need help promoting his tour, so we’re suggesting three PR moves Deadlee can use to help his cause. Check ‘em out, and add your own.

  • Get Jay-Z and Russel Simmons on board. They are big supporters of the “Unity: Fighting Our Fights Together” campaign, which supposedly preaches universal tolerance. If these two revered hip-hop impresarios can combat anti-Semitism by sharing Gefilte fish and conducting Public Service Announcements with members of the World Jewish Congress, then maybe Deadlee can recruit them for a Gayngsta event?
  • Orchestrate the perfect, nationally televised gay kiss between, say, Eminem and Fiddy. According to Deadlee, this kind of man-on-man love may already be happening at the Connecticut compound, but America needs to see it on primetime TV.
  • Deadlee may not make LoveGodsWay’s “safe music” list but he should recruit their support anyway. If Oscar Wilde is a “reformed homosexual,” anyone can be.

Eminem talks shit about everyone. He did a duet with Elton John,

worked with Elton on a 2Pac collaboration (not saying I agreed with the posthumous editing of his material, though)

He has a guy in his group who calls himself a fag, jokingly (Bizarre). AND, he’s worked with Marilyn Manson. Eminem just likes to fuck with people.

Besides the point, anyway. I’m glad Deadlee’s doing this shit. The guy below me probably busts a nut when he sees two women kissing. Like most “fag” bashing hip-hoppers who buy into the retard image: a goddamn hypocrite. A lot of straight guys that listen to that music are players and perverts. Noone to talk. Bigotry bothers me, but not as much as hypocrites.

It’s good that we let the other side speak on the gay issue, since all you hear is ignorance from the mainstream retards like DMX (a guy who gives shoutouts to Jesus after twenty songs about killing and raping and shit—yea, I’m sure God would want his name associated with that. lol). If they wanna talk shit, they should know something or have read something about it first. If they have never heard of the term “nature vs nurture”, for example, they are too stupid to talk about “fags”. The mainstream artists that talk that shit are far too uneducated on the topic to influence anyone’s opinions on this topic. They’re just following the flow. Didn’t the country do that to black people, once? Idiots.

i dont understand deadlee is saying eminem could be gay but he is mad at him for making fun of gays deadlee and the rest of u are really confused and not just sexually, and the second thing is that eminem would destroy any one of u gay rappers in a battle if he wanted to stoop to that level

whaaaa? | 2/22/2007, 1:27 am EST

Is this a fucking joke? This rapper, deadelee…..is he from Fear of a Black Hat or something?

Give me a fucking break….this is too stereotypical ans funny to be real…

Oral B | 2/21/2007, 8:10 pm EST

Yo this is GRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAT TTTTTTTTT to see my boy deadlee getting this press for himself, the tour, and all the gay rappers out there - you are doing it son!!!

And yo I am 100% behind what he is saying that heteros should not be using “that word” - this is just common sense family

But also understand that, while Dead calling out hetero rappers calling people fags and that’s why Rolling Stone has this article up, that ISN’T the sole purpose of his music or homo hop in general - there are lots of different flavors out there so people I encourage you to check them out - thugged out, funny, thugged out AND funny, sensitive, “conscious”, or just club bangers - this gay hip hop shit is not just one thing

holla

Being an artist on the tour myself, you’ve got to get past the Dmx, Eminem and 50 Cent name calling, and respect the movement for what it is. Positive, aspiring, confident artists who are not afraid to use rap as an expression to tell their own personal stories truthfully. All of the involved artists grew up on hip hop, so why shoudn’t we be able to rip it honestly about OUR life experiences?

I think a lot of people fear gayness like it’s a bad thing. But it’s not. Some of my friends are gay.. most of them aren’t– I see them all pretty much the same way.. as nice people.

I think it’s cool that Deadlee IS basically like all other rappers in that he’s making his own tracks and calling out the big boys.. telling them to step down and make room for the new king.

Anyway I heard his tracks up on myspace, and they were great. I’ll be at the LA show.. I hope that this tour becomes a regular thing and goes all over the US and beyond!

charliemapleton | 1/27/2007, 12:02 pm EST

Also leave that to the female rappers too(if that ever happens).Remy and Shawnna…God forbid if they ever beef…but if they ever do and the dust settles afterwards…AWWWWW,SILKY,SILK Y NOW!!!

charliemapleton | 1/27/2007, 11:57 am EST

No sweetie,Lil’ Wayne and Birdman kissing was just a FAMILY AFFAIR.It took me quite a while to get over how gruesomely sick it was at first,but Birdman’s explanation made us understand it was RELATIVELY mutual,not anything unordinary.(Doesn’t mean i’ll be checking out that snapshot ever again).Their supposed way of mutuality is similar to Shawn and Marlon Wayans’ when they give each other a peck-it’s out of RELATIVELY,BROTHERLY love.As far as Em and Fiddy goes,I don’t think they would go that extra mile because they’re all around bold and confident,but like every other heterosexual everyday man(including myself),I don’t think they would seriously take the plunge.Leave that to their female groupies.

B | 1/27/2007, 9:32 am EST

hahah I think that all the reactions from any haters is funny as hell.

its ok for all you to call women BITCHES but when we wanna do our own thing you throw a fit.

But we do thank all of you for giving us the exposure to even talk trash about us. You just increase our record sales! HAHAHA.

We don’t make our music for one certain type of people. We talk about shit that is relevant to us. WE DONT CARE IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
If you don’t like it….then GOOD. That means you are too close minded for us to even waste our time on.

GAY HIP HOP is just an alternative for a gay-accepting audience to listen to.

Not everyone wants to hear about Bitches and Hoes and All that shit…you guys that listen to the gangsta albums only wish you were doing BIGG THINGS and livin a HIGH life.

So you wanna talk about being real. Then hit up all the artists on the tour.

There are all sorts of gay hip hop artists coming out of the woodwork now…there’s no stopping us…. if you wanna stay real hit up GAYHIPHOP.com and HOMOREVOLUTION.com For the artists that are taking this to the forefront!

I think that this rapper “Deadlee” is a very strong and honest person and good artist…rappers are always fake, Deadlee is truth!

pamela | 1/26/2007, 4:15 pm EST

what, you wouldn’t want to kiss and make out with someone after you stopped fighting? where’s your sense of romance, mr mapleton?

oh and em and elton john have already kissed on national tv, so I don’t see why em and 50 kissing would be a much bigger deal. heck, we have lil wayne and baby kissing.. I think it’s cute when two guys kiss.

charliemapleton | 1/26/2007, 3:32 pm EST

Backtrack-Em and Fiddy…KISSING ON NATIONAL TV?!?!HELL NO!!!Not even if Secret Squirrel fled from a roadkill scene,UN-UNH!!!

you’re right.. “suck ma gun” is NOT the way to START beef between two men. It’s the way to END beef between two men. Zing!

charliemapleton | 1/26/2007, 12:54 pm EST

Despite the fact I almost spit my Snapple out with the “Suck my gun” comment(dog,you know that’s NOT the way to start a beef),I do appreciate Deadlee’s whole bold,non tolerant standpoint.Freedom and equality-especially in hip hop-is unlimited,especially if you are gay(not that I favor in that preference though).Fight the power,Deadlee…I guess.

brad carmen | 1/26/2007, 12:51 pm EST

deadlee is the truth. also be sure and check out katastrophe, juba kalamka, jfp, god-des and she, bqe, soce the elemental wizard, bigg nugg, q-boy, mistermaker, illform, johnny dangerous, tori fixx, saturn, baron and like a zillion other hot gay hip hop and r&b artists!! the movement is growing every day.

BettyBedlam | 1/26/2007, 5:19 am EST

Hip-Hop is for all. It’s about expression. Bold move deadlee.

DN LW | 1/26/2007, 2:08 am EST

Deadlee with all this salt people throwing…looks like we about to make bread homie!!!!

john | 1/26/2007, 12:50 am EST

Thank You DEADLEE. Great stuff!

NewYork501 | 1/25/2007, 8:05 pm EST

Congrats Deadlee, you are opening up a genre where there are alot of ignorant views and opinions. I hope the tour brings awareness and if it doesnt let those idiots stay ignorant

fruity music for fruity people.

fairblac | 1/25/2007, 1:39 pm EST

so what you are gay, it’s your choice. i respect that. but to make an album being just as ignorant and stupid as you think hip hop artists are, then you are no better than them.

fairblac | 1/25/2007, 1:35 pm EST

being gay/lesbian, black/white or whatever and beinging bashed isnt a reason to make a hip hop album. i am sure there are gay or bisexual artists but no fan cares what sex an artist sleeps with. so for Deadlee to do this and to be gay is stupid. he should do for the cause if he is serious.(many whites marched and fought in the civil rights movement, they did it for the cause b/c they sure werent black)

Lobsters | 1/25/2007, 1:33 pm EST

Smart move with that “(his word, not ours)”. Let’s see more of that.

Steve | 1/25/2007, 1:09 pm EST

It’s all about the music. If it’s good I’ll listen. If it’s not I don’t care.

Kliffee | 1/25/2007, 12:54 pm EST

whether it’s a breeder or gay, Rap stopped evolving for the most part, except for OutKast.
All the same ole, over-macho, insecure men braggin’. snore! even the chick rappers are macho. yuck!

Ne-Gro | 1/25/2007, 12:47 pm EST

Thanks for the comic relief. I haven’t laughed this hard in a while.

jermaine | 1/25/2007, 12:44 pm EST

rap is gay

Way to wear your homophobia on your sleave,jonesey.

Jonesey | 1/25/2007, 11:41 am EST

This article is retarded..I’m not trying to listen to no man rapping about being a gangsta or doing this and that and at the end of the day goes home and get boinked in the butt…But hey I guess he gotta eat like everybody else..so Whatever!!

tom | 1/25/2007, 10:36 am EST

tom | 1/25/2007, 10:35 am EST

CHINGON65 Los Angeles | 1/25/2007, 10:20 am EST

Wish I had someone like DEADLEE when I was growing up… would have been such an influence on life. Coming from a “rough” neighborhood, you quickly learn to hide certain parts of your life. Today I know about self-pride and standing for what I believe! RAP AWAY DEADLEE AND ALL YOU GAYNGSTAS’! Bout damn time!

Purple Mushroom | 1/25/2007, 8:55 am EST

What a big set of rainbow balls.

foxeyes2 | 1/25/2007, 7:52 am EST

Good for Deadlee. I am not a fan of rap music but it is great that he is confronting the homophobia in it just like other artists are confronting the misogny. There does seem to be a lot of sublimated homoerotica in the genre as well. I wish him success on his tour and career.

PR Buns | 1/25/2007, 5:48 am EST

I have to say it is about time a man or woman should be able to be him/herself. First it is race now it is about your sexual composite.. please if i listen to a good singer, rapper it shouldn’t make a difference who he/she sleeps with.. it is a CD not a Porn. Praise and prayers to and for you Deadlee. I will go see ya in Nueva York.
In light and truth.

ALYSSA | 1/25/2007, 2:33 am EST

DAMN I REALLY SUPPORT THIS AND BRAVERY HAS NUTTIN TO DO WIT IT… DEADLEE IS JUST BEING REAL AND NOT BEING ASHAMED OF NOTHIN… ALL MY RESPECT TO HIM

Senor Apple | 1/25/2007, 2:31 am EST

I think what this man is doing is wonderful, we need more people that are willing to get the word out there that we are just like everyone else, and we are not going anywhere else. So, the world better just deal with it. I will definately be first in-line when he comes to San Anto, will also be bringing everyone I know, and can grab off the streets.

misty | 1/25/2007, 1:15 am EST

this is not a joke. i actually know one for artist and they all rock. Thanks rollingstone for covering it!

Chris S | 1/25/2007, 1:13 am EST

Deadlee is my hero.. D you know I love you right,,, The whole movement that has been happening with all the hundreds of hip hop artists who are OPENLY gay is such an inspiration to me… Hip Hop is suppose to be about self expression and unity but some where along the way it became about money, cash, hoes and homophobia… Meanwhile, in the music industry half these cats are running around on the DL and all these kidsl istening to their music live their lives in the closet and kill themselves… Thank God for the revolution and people like Deadlee, Johnny Dangerous, Tori Fixx, Paradigm, Dutch Boy, Deep Dickollective, Qboy, Aggracyst and all the other others laying down the NEW blueprint.

Scotty Brat | 1/25/2007, 12:55 am EST

Hell yeah!!! Thanks for covering this Rolling stone! Queer artists rarely ever get acknowledged in the mainstream.

Zach | 1/25/2007, 12:20 am EST

Go gay dudes! I’m not gay, but gay dudes are some of the most important people in every single type of music. Look at Rob Halford. Look at Freddy Mercury. Look at the Village People. Some of the gayest people on the face of the earth, and still rocked and danced and screeched harder than almost everyone else. Viva la revolution! Way to show guts!

Carlos Mendez | 1/24/2007, 11:54 pm EST

Deadlee is cool. It is time hip hop combat the awful ignorant homophobia that is rampant in its community. Prejudice of all kinds should be exposed and fought. Hatred and homophobia ruined hip hop.

lik roper | 1/24/2007, 11:50 pm EST

kurt kobain said that everyone is gay, and he meant that everyone is gay in spirit - in other words; the love and compassion people feel for each has nothing to do with physicality and/or sex…

i also heard that kurt kobain may have been gay (or bi), and the reason he committed suicide is because somebody was about to ‘out’ him - either way i don’t care because i cried when i heard how he died…i must be gay…

Beltway Greg | 1/24/2007, 11:27 pm EST

I can’t wait for the “Bugaree in the barn Country Tour 2007.”

Of course there have always been rumours about Randy Travis, and what about Toby Keith having the desire to witness somebody named Uncle Sam put a boot up your ass? And perhaps the title of the best selling Garth Brooks album “No Fences” really refered to wanting to release his inner self.

tommy | 1/24/2007, 11:26 pm EST

I commend him for having the guts!

the shmoopie | 1/24/2007, 10:30 pm EST

This whole article is a joke right? … Please say this is a joke? See this is why I don’t listen to rap or hip-hop.
