Well, hello.
Poor old Guardian, trying to have it's finger on the 'street pulse', but unfortunately is unable to differentiate between 'hip hop' & 'gangster rap'.
'Gangster Rap' is the manufactured WWF of music (and that W means Wrestling not Wildlife), why would one expect it to have any valid social conscience, it's just macho manufactured toss for pre pubescent US teens IMHO of course
Hip Hop is a much wider term...
I suppose 'Gangster Rap Homophobia' wouldn't give them their all essential headline alliteration...fecking journalists
