Kanye West's Label Says No To Noah's Arc

noahsarc.gifAccording to a few reports, Roc-A-Fella Records and other labels are not allowing their music to be played in Noahs Arc, the new black gay series on MTV Networks' LOGO.

Roca-A-Fella artists include Kanye West, Jay-Z (Beyonce's Man), Foxy Brown and Teairra Mari, who sang the summer club banger "Feel Good."

I must say that I am quite shocked that they are denying their music to be played in this show, especially when our community is keeping them in business. Music is supposed to be universal. Guess not.

Although I know the artist themselves aren't responsible for the decision, I wonder what would happen if we stopped buying their music and attending their concerts.

Some may recall that in a recent interview, Kanye West said, "When I was in high school, I was called 'Fag' a lot because of how I walked and other little things. And what happened was, it made me kind of homophobic, 'cause it's like I would go back and question myself, my own feelings." I guess this just goes to show how much control an artist really have over their voices.

Maybe this happened for a reason. Why didn't Noah's Arc try to get recording artists from our own community? We have good as hip-hop, dance, gospel artist in our own community that really need a chance and exposure. I am sure the music is of quality and would get cleared. i think if they played there own artist from the community, the artists would finally get the support from all of us they deserve.

I am dissatisfied with labels like Rocafella who won't support a gay black show. This is symptomatic of continued problems in black America as a whole. The homophobia that rampages through our society is terrible and dismal. We have to change this attitude. Isn't interesting how many music labels, advertisers, etc. supported shows like "Queer as Folk and Will and Grace."
I also agree with what Tina said above about black gays seeking help from the plethora of black and latino gay and lesbian music artists.
I know it's going to take a long time to eradicate the homophobia that blacks gay and lesbians the worst from our own fellow black Americans.

It will always be tough. Just like the civil rights movement. Still till this day we are still fighting that somewhat.

As an open out and gay cross-dresser it does not come to no suprize that this is what was going to happen. I always dreamed of a time in which us gay people of color would finally be heard. The war against great ignorrant companys like Roccafella Records will be a long and hard fight something that I've been fighting against in my own special way on my end of my own universe The videogame world.

I call myself the queen of the anime world and videogame world and just like many other ingnored affiliated worlds this universe is one of many that fights for equality. Even in the game world, the world I fight to protect dearly from Urabanism is being consusmed with hip hop trash. This nonsense is rapidly undoing the intergrity of the game world and its founding creators: "Us Nerds and outcasts" How dare "Snoop Dogg" thinks his pathetic fighting games are strong enough to out beat "Mortal Kombat" As long as I many other people live to fight for the integrity of the game and anime world 50 cent, Snoop Dogg and the rest of those ingnorrant mother fuckers will never succeed in the video game world. You here that? WE ANIME FANS OF THE JAPANESE WORLD WE RUN THAT SHIT!

This is why I can't wait till China and Japan finally attack America and take over this shit.
Just like that the people of color in the gay world we need to do the same in authority to become successful.

I think the reason they didn't allow their artists music to be used for Noah's Arc because to a certain extent they expected the project to be a for us by us project showcasing our own gay black talents we have within our community there by even further strenghtening our image & our voice in the sight of many who either try say we were brainwashed into to our sexuality by caucasians or we are just confused bout our sexuality or that we are all just an effeminate caricature of who we really are in certain instances. It's ashamed that we should have to even have show's like Noah's Arc that is sort of a for us by us type project. Why can't everybody just make entertaiment that truly reflects all of society instead of people's personal limited view of what society truly is ... diversified.

Those same folks who refuse to lend Noah their label music probably once belonged to a family that depended everynowandthen on their gay uncle to put food on the table when the foodstamps was late or when their str8 daddy or str8 older brother spent the money on booze and freakish women. Like those crazy-azz caucasians whose values, beliefs, and assumptions we've been indoctrinated to cherish AS THOUGH THEY WERE ALWAYS OUR OWN AS A PEOPLE, we will exploit somebody "different" as long as we kan make money off them. i bet all dem hard-azz brothers at Rocka, when they back at the crib, pop down on the sofa for the latest episode... Negroes pleeeeezzzeee! Keep your music. It ain't even that good anyway...

You can't expect everybody to be so happy and gay about being gay, after all people can imagine what gay men do to eachother. I really do think that all gay people should keep their silence and be kool about being gay. gay people have a tendency of wanting everybody to know what they are and what they do to eachother sexually, as if they are trying to tell the world " Join Us Its Better This Way" keep the gay thing silence, if you have to get your groove on my getting up in the @ss, and performing oral sex on men just keep it the hell away from the heterosexual world, they don't want to be a part of it. But To Each His Or Her Own. I don't Judge, but you can't make everybody accept the Gay Life Style as appropriate behavior.

I think that the series Noah's Arc should use the expressions of music within our community. I think in a lifestyle or life-choice (which ever you deem appropriate) we have countless men and women that are gifted and talent to offer assistance. It is so weird because many years ago a good friend of mine did a "house track" entitled Din Da Da. Wow, the next thing I hear on the radio is the Ying Yang Twins rapping to this homosexual man's tracks not to mention the fact that now cingular has incorporated the same track into one of their advertisement. Lets use and support our OWN.

OMG! thats So F-up because i am the type of Person that Buys Everyone and everybody cd, From lil jon to Jay-z. so for them to say that they dont want there music on Noah's Arc, (which the show i love) is Very Hurtful and Mean. Not just Me but to othere young BLack gay Males, this shows you right here Why Hiv is So High And STDS Gets ariund because everyone so scared to do or say something,this is the the reason right there. And Ppl also Need to Realize is that WE ARE MEN FIRST! so it does matter who i SLEEP with i can still be a men. "Dont Ever judge a book by its Cover".

Sorry to everyone at NOAHS ARC! yall KEEP doin yall damn thing because yall Killin the set right now. i Have just ONE more thing to say, them same ppl that Said NO to that music, Be the same ONES Sneaking home to go Watch this SHOW!

i love yall! thanks
be Safe !

Uh Kanye West is probably gay really deep inside if he was made fun of in high school about being a fag.

At first I wanted to be mad when I read this article about Roc-A-Fella not wanting their music to be played on Noah's Arc, but after I thought about it, I realized it's okay. We as a people need to do for ourselves anyhow, and stop looking for acceptance in from society as a whole. Society does not want to mess up their perception of what is to be black and gay in the new millenium. If Roc-A-Fella allowed their artist's music to be played and word got out, what does that say about them as a whole? That they actually accept us as people? That they condone gayness as being alright? Phuck 'em as far as I'm concerned. I love Noah's Arc, and the music that they've played so far is phenomenal. Besides, it won't be okay for Roc-A-Fella to start letting their music be played on the show until the white establishment says it's okay. So whatever the talented powers that be at Noah's is doing, keep doing the damn thing. I am definitely a loyal fan and will continue to be one as long as they keep the quality coming.

Lovely, I must say, there is not so much themes, which deserve a comment. This one is realy needful http://doctorhorny.servik.com

it is very interesting that rap labels like Roc-A-Fella is cowarding from lending their music to shows like Noah's Arc when it is rumored that the rap game is run by "Quasi" homosexuals. I also find it interesting that Calvin (11/5/05) thinks that gays should keep quiet about their sexual behavior. Gay men and women are not responsible for heteros that sit around and imagine what goes on between people of the same sex. Gay people have the same loving and passionate relationships heterosexauls have. Calvin, if heteros are so appalled by gay sex, why are they having it now. Anal sex is very popular with heteros now. You claim that you don't judge, but there were a lot of judgements in your comment. Calvin, people that make unneccesary judgements are the ones that should remain silent... peace

Well this is the land of the free!! right!

I believe artists and label have a right to be represented in the light they want to be represented in, it is a matter of choice, the same choice, gay black or white people are expecting and demanding!!
It is not because a group of people in a country chose a lifestyle that all the planet has to comform. Hear yourselves talk sometimes, the same choice you are demanding, let others be free to do so. I do not believe Kanye west is a bad person or homophobic for that matter, he is just a christian and his faith unfortunately does not compromise on the issue of homosexuality, even true christian in the white community chose not to compromise their faith for homosexuality. say what you want but he has to be true to himself and to his belief and put his faith first, even if that mean not wanting to compromise, too bad if some of you are shocked, but I will keep on buying his music because true freedom start with us, first not the neighbor, let those who want to be part of the gay world, be and those who do not, be too. It is a free country for all people, artists, label owner, gays and other.
