Rappers have expressed their animus towards the police in a number of ways over the years. There's NWA's famous, FBI bulletin-prompting track, Ice-T's "Cop Killer", KRS-One's sound of tha Police, and a bunch of others that I will not plagiarize from here. Certain of these songs express some concern in re: sexuality ("I don't know if they fags or what, search a n*gger down and grabbing his nuts"), in general suggesting a fear of homosexual acts. And most gangsta rappers have made clear at one time or other their vehement dislike for those not fully heterosexual. These rappers seemingly posit that hating on the gays and hating on the police are two fully compatible acts, with absolutely no tension between the two.
But what if there were a tension? What if, say, the most powerful way to demean an officer of the law would require committing a homosexual act? This is the question that Jack Terror asks and answers in his sadly underrated 2006 track, the provocatively titled "Cop Raper". While Mr. Terror protests that "it's not like I'm one of these faggot-type motherfuckers, it's just that I hate the police", it hardly takes a very radical analysis to construe lines such as "this love is gonna last, like my cock in your cop ass" as holding a slightly contradictory meaning. Why this song -- the anti-cop anthem for a time of increased sexual understanding*, is not on the syllabus of every gender studies program in the United States, I have no idea.

* but not much greater sensitivity when it comes to sexualized violence committed towards men, which is still always funny
