Invoking the Dre pic makes it all better. "I Need A Doctor" was subliminally one of the most homo-erotic records in years. Two guys endlessly pontificating about how much they love each other, Dre reciting Eminem's lyrics of telling foes to kiss his 'indecisive ass crack'.
@JWoulf; I don't know if that's right though. The message is one thing but if you look at the poses most of these artists make, it's a general vibe of 'the less masculine you are, the more successful you shall be'. Hence a young non-person like Big Sean who appears more obsessed with wearing clothes than any girl he'll meet is on a higher pedestal than say, Pusha-T and Cyhi.
Also, that's forgetting the whole stretch of the Atlanta Futuristic movement. The message was hetero, but a bunch of teen black kids in tight-fitting clothing singing in cartoonish high-pitched voices is obviously NOT the most masculine of rap.

I mean, a lot of this movement as petered out, and the biggest stars in this whole style have drained a lot of the fey-qualities out (Travis Porter & Future), but it was a hilarious event.
