DC is not a safe place for kids in any way shape or form anymore. Homo, lesbian, it's all perversion and soon they will be having sex with their dogs. The gays who hold high positions in government are very nasty and have sever mental problems, yes thier true face has been revealed (pure evil)
That picture is in fact pornography!

If you say "no homo" then guess what YOU ARE HOMO!! i dont even listen to current mainstream rap music, its not even worthy to be labeled "hip hop". hip hop is dead as far as mainstream goes, rap music is what you hear nowadays. total nonsense coming from every fuckin rapper. being gay is being advertised as something cool by big name rappers who have a lot of influence on their young fans, like lil'wayne and baby, kanye west, dipset and many more. dressing up like women and callin it "swag" in preety homo to me. listen to the beginning of the song "lollipop" by the gay midget wayne "i say HE so sweet think i wanna lick the wrapper", and grown ass men who swear they goons bob they head to that shit. personally i listen to 2pac all day, cuz even in 2010 hes the realist modafucka u could ever play on your radio.all dem gay, retarded soundin rappers could burn in hell for dumbing down our youth and turning em out to be faggots in the process.

As Jadakiss put it "A real man NEVER has to say No Homo" - in other words, if you feel the urge to use that phrase, there must be a REASON [not that there's anything wrong with that!]

"No homo" is generally used after a line that could be interpreted as endorsing a gay sex act or engaging in a gay relationship, not taking on the attributes of a gay stereotype. Therefore, your "watermelon" comparison isn't very apt. To use an admittedly weak example, since I'm not really up on my gay stereotypes, you wouldn't say, "I love Sex and the City - no homo." You'd say "My boss has been on my ass all week - no homo." Homophobia is definitely a major problem in hip-hop, and "no homo" certainly stems from that problem, but on its own, I don't think it's directly homophobic. Actually, if you can put on your blinders (which you often have to do to appreciate the completely awesome but often frustrating world of hip-hop), it can be pretty damn funny.

“no homo” is “pretty wrong, kinda like saying i could go for a watermelon, ‘no negro.’”

Dats stupid as fuck, mentioning watermelon and connecting it wit the word negro is the use of an offensive stereotype, whereas no homo is simply reassuring the lack of sexual intention.

Although it might be offensive to others that you feel you must reassure your no homosexual, which implies you dissaprove of homosexuality they take two words way too seriously.

When I heard that line in "Run This Town" I though it was satire. I think that he was making fun of homophobia in hip-hop, especially because he has spoken out against it in the past.

Kanye lol just do us all a favor and shut your mouth. It really is good for nothing.....and your part of "run this town tonight" is the least artistic peice of rap crap i have ever heard... and i love love love me some hip hop man. you disgrace hip hop with your blind convictions and ignorance.

I always found it strange how some people can justify saying the words "No Homo" excludes them from being gay. That's like me saying "No Black" and I am Black. Just the words alone don't hold weight.

It's amazing that Cam'ron was able to popularize the phrase "no homo" and at the same time make it acceptable for men in hip-hop to wear head-to-toe pink outfits and women's jewelry. Was it some kind of subversive statement on gender, or is he just clueless?
