As for homosexuals specifically I don't identify with being gay anymore than I do with being a drug king pin
I considered my ability to relate to rappers who claimed to commit crimes that I haven't too
What I came up with is, while I may not be able to fully relate to the kingpin or murderer's lifestyle, I can relate to the shaky moral codes, some of the experiences, thought processes, motivations, characters, and the coded languages of the lifestyles expressed in the rhymes
Infinitely moreso than I would be able to relate to a man who sings about sucking dikk
So in my experience, that's not a fair comparison
However, I'm also well aware that the nikka singing about sucking dikk, could very well be realer than any of the nikkas rapping about slangin birds, in real life
It's all entertainment at the end of the day
All about what you choose to spend time listening to..
