Thats one thing I hear too often and it doesnt make much sense. I mean I know calling things gay nowadays quite in style and I indeed say use such expressions from time to time, however the only music I would call gay at the moment is anything thats streams from Clay Aiken's mouth, or any other Idol singer to be honest, or country music. Thats the extent to which the gayness travels in the music industry nowadays, thankfully, after fagbands such as backstreet boys when out of business. Coldplay makes great music IMO, however each to his own.
Being from Detroit and an avid rap supporter, I basically have to like Em because nobody comes close to touching him nowadays and you have to give him props. I used to like Kanye West however now I'm more into rappers such as Tech N9ne and the other mc from the Chi Common. Thats some good shit right there.
But in music I have always been a fan of bands such as Coldplay and Incubus and will continue loving such music no matter what anybody from Baku says.
