R.A. The Rugged Man sits down for an open and honest interview with DJ Vlad and the hot topic of discussion is Hip Hop and homosexuality.  In fact, Rugged Man shares his belief that artists like Macklemore and Frank Ocean are strategically pushing a gay agenda to fans in order to promote their music and subsequently further their careers by pigging backing on the issue.  However, the rapper does clarify he believes the controversial topic of homosexuality is big right now in the world as politicians are using the same tactic in order to pull in votes based on the popularity of the movement.  R.A. goes on to admit that he’s not the biggest fan of Macklemore and co-signs Lord Jamar’s recent comments about gay’s having no place in Hip Hop, says there’s a plot to feminize Hip Hop by the powers that be and much more.
