This book offers an interdisciplinary study of hip-hop music
written and performed by rappers who happen to be out black gay
men. It examines the storytelling mechanisms of gay themed lyrics,
and how these form protests and become enabling tools for (black)
gay men to discuss issues such as living on the down-low and
HIV/AIDS. It considers how the biased promotion of feminised gay
male artists/characters in mainstream entertainment industry has
rendered masculinity an exclusively male heterosexual property,
providing a representational framework for men to identify with a
form of "homosexual masculinity" - one that is constructed without
having to either victimise anything feminine or necessarily convert
to femininity. The book makes a strong case that it is possible for
individuals (like gay rappers) to perform masculinity against
masculinity, and open up a new way of striving for gender equality.
