does rap music breed homosexuality ?

For example if you take a man's man type of rapper like Xzibit, it's rare you will find a bitch whose a fan of him, they totally don't get his music.
But if you take a bitch type rapper like Drake, women will love him. So maybe that kind of music breeds all kinds of shameful behaviors, I wouldn't know because I don't listen to it.

that's exactly the point though, that's because it's masculine that it can be viewed as homo erotic

LOL just watch the clip. Even "faggots" find the ignorant, agressive shit erotic, no matter if it's derogative towards them.

No.. I think that's over-analyzing things. That's like saying Farrakhan "hates white women so much he loves them".
Is your premise that when something is repressed it somehow then becomes magnified? I don't think that's possible because rap music itself started out as a suppressed form of art. So it's not like a parental figure was ever beating down a child's door forcing them to listen to masculine rap music and the kid grows up secretly yearning to be break out in a fit of homosexuality...
Aladin:
I get what you mean.
But the artist of today are not the artists of yesterday.
I remember there was a time were conscious Hiphop could get gold or platinum.
Today the pressure 2 accept gay's is far greater then back then, while the artist are a lot weaker.
I believe you are from France, look at your own country. Hundreds of thousand went to the streets in protest against Gay Marriage.
Did it achieve anything?
Nowadays you have rappers without backbone:
Look at veteran Too Short, he is @ an age where he should fear nobody.
But look how he handles the question about gays in Hiphop.
On the other hand you have people who stand by their principles like Dave Chappele and we all know how he is blacklisted by the industry:

The real conscious cats won't be necessairily anti-gay, though. That aren't opposites.
It's more about the fact that a culture that overemphasizes masculinity like Hip Hop does, has visibly homoerotic traits but can't acknowledge that in any way since homosexuality is viewed as equal to weakness. That's the ultimate weakness to men who define themselves mainly over the degree of dominance they can excert. Same reason why they look down on women. Being feminine equals weakness, too. That's why about the worst thing you can say about a man in Hip Hop is that he's a bitch or even worse, a faggot.
