I still always got the impression that there was more than a little bit of an autobiographical approach to her acting/rapping in that role.

Oh yeah, it was also ghostwritten by Apache ("Gangsta Bitch"). But yeah...she's still a lesbian. One. @ Fresh:

It's simply one of the most inane things you can say. I always instantly lose respect for the person that uses it. Agreed on “no homo”. It’s simply one of the most inane things you can say.

Some more evidence for Sermon: -calls himself "The Rap Goddess" -frequently sings along with the female parts of samples -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xesLLxNEX8 That being said, I don't really care if a rapper is gay or not. It would be nice if hip hop wasn't so homophobic, but there's still a lot of humour inherent in trying to find the closeted ones. Latifah already came out tho'. Funny ish, Weiss.

I remember when I first found out that this female emcee I had a crush on for years wasn't really that into guys. Boy was that a sad day in that eye opening summer of 1988. LOL. One.
