* GayAesop: "Same Love".

to:

* GayAesop: "Same Love". The song talks about how Ben used to think he was gay, but wasn't. However, he openly talks about being pro-gay-marriage, saying "damn right I support it" and that "America still fears what we don't know" when it comes to gay people. The music video also shows two elderly gay men going through their lives together.

* TheMoralSubstitute: So you want to listen to a photogenic white rapper with bleached blond hair, who raps in a witty, fast-paced flow, who makes Grammy-award-winning [[PopRap pop crossover hip-hop]] with funny and brightly coloured music videos, but you find [[Music/{{Eminem}} that guy]] too [[AngryWhiteMan politically incorrect]] and [[VulgarHumor gross]]? Well, ''this'' white rapper's famous song is a statement against homophobia.
