Rappers' delight
Queer artists turnout Eyedrum for offbeat hip hop show

THOSE ATTENDING AN UPCOMING hip hop show at eyedrum art & music gallery may at first think someone's playing an April Fool's Day prank on them. That's because the lineup for the April 1 Queer Hip Hop event primarily consists of artists who are exceptionally outside the mold of rappers like T.I., Tupac or Kanye West.

But the white lesbian and transgender rappers who will perform at eyedrum say their connection to hip hop is as deep and authentic as anyone's. And the genre often demonized as homophobic isn't that bad for gay artists, they say.
