Homo Hip-Hopper Deadlee made his CNN debut last night with these words on his arch-nemesis, Eminem:

I think he's trying to pick on the people who he thinks are weak, and can't defend themselves. And I'm kind of stepping up to the game with all kinds of homorappers and saying, we're not weak, we can go head to head with you in the rap game, and even in a political stance, and say we're here. You can't be picking on us. It's so easy for peope to say 'I hate gays'. It's the one group of people that it's still okay to hate on.

Word.

Openly Gay Hip-Hopper, Caushun apparently has a tell-all book in the works detailing the ins and outs of the hip-hop community. While he'd love to get it on the shelves, thus revealing some pretty deep (read: gay?) secrets, some nasty confidentiality clauses are keeping it under wraps. AllHipHop reports:

The Gay Rapper Caushun has been rumored to be putting together a tell-all book that would seriously out some of his celebrity clientele. Not out in a Perez Hilton sort of way, but reveal their inner workings and whatever. Well, maybe there is some Perez Hiltoning going on, but more on that later. Right now, all you need to know is that Caushun has been prevented from releasing this book due to confidentiality clauses in his work contracts with various celebs.

There have long been rumors of certain celebrated hip-hop stars getting down with groupies of the same gender. Given his close intimate knowledge of hip-hop's backstage, we've no doubt Caushun's got plenty of beans to spill.

The article, however, goes on to question not only Caushun's intentions, but his entire identity.

Now, from what I am hearing (aka unconfirmed rumors), the Gay Rapper presented himself as an MC that happened to be homosexual. Well, that's not the case in Rumorland. In Rumorland, Caushun was compare to Milli Vanilli all the way down to the ghostwriting.

Is AllHipHop suggesting that Caushun's cocksucking way are just a ruse? It certainly sounds that way to us... Do we believe them? No, not really, but a little speculation never hurt anybody. Except, well, maybe Ted Haggard and people of that ilk.

Speaking of speculation, here's a pretty easy (and much-touted) blind item we think you guys will totally ace:

What rapper from the 90's that was once in a group, but went solo, sold double platinum, has a wife and a pair of kids is secretly gay?

If you can't figure this one out, you're not thinking hard enough. And if you have to think that hard...well, you should probably just give up. You'll give yourself an aneurysm.

Jasmyne Cannick, board member of the National Black Justice Coalition, presents a very persuasive argument against the blatant anti-gay messages in hip-hop music. Artists popular in gay clubs, including Missy Elliott and Mary J Blige, contribute to albums filled with hateful "kill the faggot" lyrics, yet gay people toss off such messages and convince themselves their favorite artists really don't think like that. Yet really, they have no idea what the artists think; but the lyrics are there, clear as can be. It is perhaps a conflict of the ages: you can insult a gay person, as long as they can dance.
