Quick things of note:
1. Ice-T wasn't in NWA. That was Ice Cube...and don't forget Yella and Ren.
2. As someone mentioned previously, another thread for this discussion might be more appropriate, but what the heck - I never really got the feeling that people were using the term "gay" to express simple dislike of something when I was growing up...it was more that something was unneccesarily frivolous...sort of a craptastic version of "much ado about nothing..." Hmmm.
3. In the same light, if someone you knew was trying to start a fight for no apparent reason, might you not say something along the lines of "god, drop the testerone" or "quit acting like a fucking knuckle-dragging ape man." ? I would. And that's not to say that all men are "bad," only that someone might be exhibiting traits that can stereotypically be identified with males.
4. As far as Kanye West goes, I've heard good things about him, but as mentioned there is a long history of social commentary in rap and hip hop. all the gansta-crap rap is no more representative of the entire genre than modern pop crap rock represents all rock and roll.
edit : hell, at first I forgot about Ren. There you go.
