Battle rap is known for its misogyny and acceptance of homophobia in its lyrics.
The best attacks can simply be calling your opponent gay. So
the thought of a transgendered battle rapper was very interesting.
NoShame is still not accepted in major mainstream platforms
and I don’t know if the talent is enough to have people overlook the sexuality
issue
I like how NoShame knows the lane they are in and doesn’t
try to avoid it or hide from it or pretend it doesn’t exist.
Everyone wants to speak of the courage of Kaitlyn Jenner and
I never got what they did as brave, when society has it set up that you can’t
say anything negative to Kaitlyn without backlash.
Let Kaitlyn do what NoShame does and get into an industry
where the purpose is to be mocked
Admitting you are transgendered than getting involved in a
past time where your opponents job is to break you down with mean insults..
That’s bravery.
I have seen a few battles and NoShame has talent lyrically. I will say the challenge is how to continue
without becoming a gimmick of yourself.
