Edited sentence: A rapper like Cam'ron Catucci argues will use the phrase, and dress in pink, simply to show that he is man enough to get away with it, without being suspected of being gay.In Catucci's view, "no homo" is just another form of gay bashing, and to a large extent is used simply because it "just sounds good", and is easily applicable in rhymes.It was used by many to distance themselves from the down-low stereotype of closeted homosexual men.Nick Catucci, writing for New York magazine, disagrees with this assessment
