I'm not exactly sure if there are many connoisseurs of rap music on Open Salon, but I'm sure it doesn't take a music critic to assert that hip-hop, as a whole, has taken a step back since it's heyday. The days of Eazy-E, Tupac Shakur, Biggie Smalls, the Sugarhill Gang, and Dr. Dre are over, being replaced by acts like Soulja Boy and "Jibbs". Many people who once loved the hip-hop genre are saying that rap is dead, and some even say that if it continues on this sad track of stupidity, rappers will be singing about eating watermelons and being scared of massa'.
I'm glad to say that thanks to a gay man, this won't happen. I know what you just thought. "How could a gay man save rap? It's the most homophobic genre of music out there!". The most hardcore gay rapper to ever hit the mean streets of the internet is your answer. Faggot Bruce. His lyrics are relentless, clever, and will catch you off your guard if you think he is some kind of lame Weird Al Yankovic rip-off parody rapper. He is the real deal.
While I myself am not gay, I have to admire how Faggot Bruce fearlessly pronounces himself as the "Turd Tickler", giving gays everywhere resolve against the homophobic attacks of the hip-hop industry. His searing lyrics remind anyone wanting to attack him that he has no shame and will not hide his views and sexuality from the music industry.
Unfortunately, our Turd Tickling savior of hip-hop doesn't reveal many details about himself. There are no pictures of him on the internet yet, and details about his early life are unknown. According to his lyrics, during his third year doing a stint at Pelican Bay supermax prison, his (one) eye turned to men. The rest is history.
Words can't describe this guy's lyrics. You'll just have to listen yourself.
Faggot Bruce up, homie.

I like Matisyahu a lot, and thought he did a good job of shaking it up when he arrived on the scene, especially as an American Hasidic Jewish reggae/hip-hop guy. I know that doesn't meat your clear "rap music" genre, but I felt he was worth the mention.
Great article and well written. Glad you're here!

Rated for choosing Faggot Bruce as a topic, and, clearly, for the skill set. Go for it!
