    This song makes me happy, despite it being from a fairly mainstream american hip hopster. Have a listen and enjoy. A turning point is coming :-)

    I actualy think that the fact that it comes from a mainstream artist adds to the songs efeect. I never thought I'd hear a song like this being played on the radio at all. Maybe things are changing (slighty) :rolleyes:

    It's such a proper tune. Mary Lambert is awesome on it also. He released this song before he hit mainstream with Thrift Shop, so he's a proper credit alright.

    Lolz. There is nothing "mainstream American hip hopster" about these guys. They are enjoying a lot of success lately, and rightfully so, but there music or message isn't very mainstream.

    Anyway, even if they were "mainstream hip-hop", would that be a bad thing or affect your enjoyment?

    While many hip-hop artists can rightfully be criticised for homophobic content, there's also a number of hip-hop artists who haven't been afraid to speak out for LGBT rights.

    Murs for example has already released a song about a gay life story and played one of the gay lovers in the video which passed pretty much under the radar. Yet if 50 Cent (who had actually made supportive statements for marriage equality) tweets about men who don't eat pussy (which isn't necessarily homophobic) the press jumps all over it and criticisms him.

    Even "Mainstream hip-hoppers" like Jay-Z, Kanye West, Fat Joe, A$ap Rocky and 50 Cent have spoken up in favour of gay rights or gay marriage.
