What's your FLAVA?
Gay and rap perhaps not so mutually exclusive. Image: Eminem by David LaChapelle

 

Contrary to popular belief, the words gay and rap are not mutually exclusive terms.

And the promoters of new urban gay venue, 'FLAVA', are aware of this.

The new Monday club night is designed for all the same-sex inclined street bums and hip-hop boys, or indeed anyone who wears their baseball cap the wrong way round. Sounds come courtesy of Kinky D, Nikki Lucas, Tyrone and D'Lux, providing everything from soulful garage to funky R+B and hip-hop.

Meanwhile, the crew from gayhiphop.com are on a mission to prove that batty boys have wider musical tastes than vertiginous-heeled Aussie pop triumphs or manufactured muppets and puppets. Attempting to club homophobia to death they have started running their own night called 'Pac Man'.

With all this going on, maybe the 'Eminem in the Closet' theory isn't so implausible. After all he does look like a rent boy, doesn't he?

FLAVA, 7-9 Cranbourne St, Leicester Square, WC2
Mondays 10pm till 3am. £5 before 11.30pm or with NUS, £7 after.
Call 07946 417 341 for more details
