Homo hop is a genre of hip hop music performed by LGBT artists and performers. It has been described as "a global movement of gay hip-hop MCs and fans determined to stake their claim in a genre too often associated with homophobia and anti-gay lyrics."[1]

Notable events in the history of homo hop include the PeaceOUT World Homo Hop Festival which was founded in 2001[2] and mounted for several years on the West and East coasts, and the 2006 documentary film Pick Up the Mic.
