I like the totally in-your-face gayness of it, the "I don't give a fuck what you think about me" part...Some of them can rap but I kinda ain't feeling the kinda played-out "futuristic" beats on most of them.

More power to them though. Culturally, It's more interesting than the average.

i always think of flying lotus and la beat scene as "futuristic production" which i agree is now played out, had been for the past year really.

le1f, mykki blanco, etc. sound more like a$ap mob, odd future or flatbush zombies which is like current hip-hop sound. i hear trap and southern hip hop when i listen to them.

i agree that they are more interesting than a lot of current rap artists. they sound more sinister and badass even if they are gay, lol.

LeIf and Blanco have superb production, but as MC's go they are kind of lacking, particularly Blanco. I haven't heard much Katz although what ive heard hasn't really impressed me. He clearly had one of the best singles of 2012 tho.

Cakes is the fucking truth tho. Just a technically solid rapper, funny, and good club friendly beat selection.


-edit- checking out Katz's last mixtape...still not super impressed with him as an MC, but he seems to make it work for him (and he's got a solid commanding voice)

When I saw his video for the first time, I thought WHOA, what is this? His new video looks like it was done in a cross between a gym and a sex club a la Plato's Retreat, but the song is nice. I guess it's a bit like queer punk, either you accept/tolerate it, or reject it. It's like discovering that a band like Pansy Division covered "Jack U Off". You think "hey, I liked the song originally, let's see how it can be twisted."

I haven't heard the others, but I've always liked hip-hop that may be different from the "accepted norm", be it Paul Barman or clipping. Bring everyone into the mix.

instantly d/led his mixtape after hearing Goodie Goodies tho...FIRE.

been showing Le1f love but like Reg said...he needs to work on his flow. Spa Day is redic

these other dudes i can pass on.

honestly, whenever i see their videos i think about how far hip-hop has come. Of course you'll have a large populace shitting on/ignoring them because they are gay. But the fact that they are getting some attention is dope to me.

I see Cakes getting on a song with Rhi or Nicki and blowing the fuck up. Not sure of any mainstream rappers who'll fuck with dude besides Danny Brown...but someone should.

Probably so, because I don't know either of them to be openly queer.

Wrong post for that.

Everything has become so macro that whenever people say "movement", it sounds too self-important.
Anyway, Cakes is a fuckin beast, but Mykki Blanco is more razzle-dazzle.
Cakes has the potential crush his competitors, but mainstream-wise, people are usually only accustomed to seeing just 1 representative of an idea/theme.
