I used to owe money to
back when I was in
the drug game.
[PANTING]
n*gg*s...coming.
RILEY:
How you gonna drop the g*n,
Gangstalicious?!
That is not gangsta!
That's very not gangsta!
MAN:
This is about things
you're too young
to understand, little man.
This is about thugging love.
RILEY:
What the--?
RILEY:
And that's when
one of them dudes
knocked me upside
my head, right?
And I was having,
like, crazy dreams,
like Gangstalicious
was kissing the other dude.
Some old craziness, man.
[♪♪♪]
MAN [ON TV]:
Okay, okay, here it is.

It's the world premiere.
And that's not just around

The brand-new
Gangstalicious video.
The song is called
"Homeys Over Ho's."
I thought you hate
Gangstalicious.
I mean, he a punk
and all that,
but he sent a n*gga
some free CDs
and apologized and all,
so I decided to squash it.
He still a punk though.

See, you gotta remember,
it was the '80s.
Tight pants, headbands,
Jheri curls.
You could just be
out the closet,
and nobody would notice.
But that wasn't enough for us.
We wanted to stand out.
And that's where
we made our mistake.
MC BOOTY B:
The world wasn't ready
for gay rappers back then.
h*m* D: Sure ain't.
But in a lot of ways,
I feel like
we paved the way
for all these gay-ass rappers
that's out here nowadays.
Mm-hm. It was us.
Think about it.
Hey, check it out.
Gangstalicious sent me
a box of free gear.
I'm gonna be the first n*gga
on the streets to rock it.
Mmm. Gangstalicious sure does
send you a lot of free stuff.
Gangstalicious is
my homey.
Oh, now you're homeys?
Yesterday, he was a punk.
Sometimes you gotta put aside
your differences
and work through problems
with your homey,
so y'all can keep
to bein' homeys.
You feel me, homey?
That's very sensitive
of you, Riley.
And you're okay
with his lifestyle?
Well, I mean, I know
he ain't no real gangsta,
but that's cool 'cause, see,
he's in entertainment.
He ain't gotta be out
in the streets like I do.
He's telling
our stories for us.
So you're okay with him
being gay?
[SNICKERS]
Gay? Who--? Who said
he was gay?
n*gga, is you crazy?
Heh-heh.
Gangstalicious, gay.
You-- You crazy.
Come on, Riley.
The song, the dance?
I mean, "do the homey"?
The homey dance ain't gay.
I do the homey.
That's not gay? You who thinks
everything in the world is gay.
n*gga, you gay. You gay.
Y'all n*gg*s are gay.
n*gga, you gay.
That's gay.
Don't find any of this
gay at all?
Okay, so all that
other stuff was gay.
But Gangstalicious
ain't gay.
You can't just go throwing
that gay thing around, Huey.
That's
a serious accusation.
You the one who said
he kissed a man.
What I had said was them dudes
knocked me upside my head,
and I dreamed
he kissed another man.
How often you have dreams
about men kissing?
Shut up.
I never dream about my heroes
kissing other men.
Man, stop!
This whole conversation is
making me uncomfortable.
I dreamt about Muhammad Ali
just last night.
But he was fighting Joe Frazier,
not kissing him.
Ugh! Gay-ass n*gga!
Shut up, shut up,
shut up.
Ooh, I ain't listening
to you.
Now, 'Licious,
you've got the hit song
that's k*lling 'em
in the streets right now.
Don't-- Don't take that
literally, folks.
Just k*lling 'em
in the streets:
"Homeys Over Ho's."
And now I'm telling you,
the clothing line's jumping off.
This thing is--
What?
What do you say, Gelman?
"Off the hook"?
Tell us about that.
Well, you know, Reege, we just
had to bring our own flavor
to the fashion game.
You know,
fashion is a real big thing
to me and my crew,
you know what I'm saying?
Personal grooming,
hygiene, facials,
shiatsu seaweed wraps,
you know, that type of thing.
And we not doing it
for the females,
you know what I'm saying?
We doing it just for us,
you know? That's real thing.
All right now,
we got some models.
Check it. Over here
with some of your new gear.
Now, the vest isn't actually
bulletproof, correct?
GANGSTALICIOUS:
No, not really.
But it's a hot style.
And pink is definitely
the in color for this season.
And here we have the
Gangstalicious super-long tee.
Oh, that's long, baby.
But that's the style, right?
Oh. Why is the backside
cut out?
I knew you were gonna ask, and
I like your attention to detail.
I'll tell you why.
That way, you won't
have to waste time
lifting up your T-shirt.
You can get to your toast
real fast, you know?
Get the drop on a n*gga.
Not that we want the kids
to carry g*ns or nothing,
because we always tell the kids
that that ain't the way.
Matter of fact,
I had a song called,
"Kids, That ain't the Way."
But if you got
to pull a burner
out on a n*gga,
this T-shirt
could give you
the half a second or more
that may save
your life.
KELLY:
Now, this here is just amazing.
Pearl necklaces.
I didn't know men
wore pearls.
Oh, yes, definitely.
Definitely, Kelly.
You know, we just want cats
out there in the street,
you know, to step
their jewelry game up.
It's all about
pearl necklaces.
Wow!
Pearl necklaces.
Well, I don't know if I could
wear one, but fascinating.
THUGNIFICENT:
Yo! Is that the new
Gangstalicious gear?
Where'd you get that?
MACKTASTIC:
That outfit is fly
right there.
Look at those sandals
right there, dog.
Yo, you said
Gangstalicious?
He-- He sent them shits
to you hisself?
Me and Gangstalicious
been homeys for a minute.
Damn!
That "Homeys Over Ho's"
just shitted on
our "Rags to b*tches" joint.
FLONOMINAL:
Why didn't we think
of that, man?
We sound like a bunch
of bitch n*gg*r*s
that-- That need women in
their lives or something, man.
But we calling 'em b*tches
and ho's and sh*t.
It ain't like
we respectin' 'em.
Damn.
Yeah, we sound like
straight faggots, dog.
Ah, still, man,
the new single ain't moving.
We ain't doing no shows.
I got college loans and sh*t.
Hey, bitch. What the f*ck
is you doing in here?
Can't you see
the homeys is talking?
This is homey talk
happening.
How you just gonna walk in
on homey talk, bitch?
Man, y'all ho's is trouble.
n*gga, you've been
begging me
to come over here
for a month.
You know what? Y'all can get
the f*ck up outta here.
What'd we do?
Man, just b*at it.
It's homey time
right now, okay?
Hey, yo, word to mother.
He-- He-- He right, yo.
Word, son. I'm saying,
I-I mean, you know, this is
what real n*gg*s
out in the struggle
wanna see right now, man.
Yo, that's real talk.
Hey. Y'all should get
on the remix.
MACKTASTIC:
Yeah. That'd be dope.
That sh*t would be unbelievably
f*cking banging, word to mother.
Hey, yo, real talk.
That would help me get out
of this debt real quick, man.
Yeah, but I don't really know
Gangstalicious like that.
Plus, I heard the n*gga's
hard to get at too.
Ah, man. I talk to
Gangstalicious all the time.
Hey, yo, for real?
[LINE RINGING]
GANGSTALICIOUS:
Hello?
RILEY: What up, 'Lish?
Hey! Hey.
Riley, what's up, little man?
What's going on?
What's good?
It's all good, man.
Just out here Rick Ross-in' it,
not loving them ho's.
Ha-ha. Hey-- Hey, man,
did you get that, uh--
That box of clothes
I sent you?
It's your size, right?
Oh, yeah.
That was a good look.
Appreciate it.
Listen, don't even sweat that.
Anything for the little homey.
You know we homeys got
to look out for each other.
Hey, speaking of looking out,
I don't know if you heard,
but I'm down with
the Lethal Interjection crew.
Oh, yeah. They did that song,
"Eff Granddad." That was hot.
Their new single ain't
really selling that much.
They was wondering
if you'd do a song with 'em.
Maybe they can get on
that "Homeys Over Ho's" remix.
Mmm. Uh...
Yeah. You know what?
You know what, Riley?
Anything for the little homey.
Tell them to call my people,
we set it up right away.
All right.
Thanks, 'Licious.
Hey, man, no problem,
you know.
And, Riley, you know, I just
wanted to say, you know--
You know, thank you.
You know, for, you know,
keeping everything
just between us, you know?
Oh. You mean how you was
crying and everything
when n*gg*s was chasing us?
Oh, man.
I ain't gonna tell
nobody about that.
No, no-- I-- I mean, you know--
I mean, you know--
I mean, you know,
the other thing.
Oh, you mean when
they stripped you naked
and sh*t at you?
No, I m-- Well, I mean,
yeah, that too.
But I mean, no-- I mean,
you know, the-- The other--
The other thing.
Uh...
what else happened?
See, that--? See?
That's-- That's what
I'm talking about.
That's why I fucks
with you, Riley.
Homeys know how
to keep a secret.
Homeys know how
to keep a secret.
Uh, okay.
All right, man,
so I'll call you later.
Peace. Homeys over ho's.
Hang this up, boo-boo.
Mm-hm. Mmm.
He said for me,
no problem.
Yeah, n*gga, yeah. That's
what I'm talking about.

[GROANS]
Boy, what the hell are
you wearing? Is that a bra?
What? It's just
a wifebeater.
Where are your pants?
Why you wearing a skirt?
[LAUGHING]
No, Granddad.
These are Gangstalicious
Shorts for Thugs.
See, they got an extra flap
with a pocket,
so you-- You know,
you hide what you wanna hide
from the police.
Kind of hot, right?
You want me to see
if he got your size?
But you're carrying a purse.
What?
Come on, Granddad.
This ain't no purse.
It's the Gangstalicious Man-Bag.
What--? What's wrong?
Nothing. Uh...
[YELLS]
No!
[♪♪♪]
RUCKUS:
What in tarnation
is he wearing?
I don't know.
Do you think he's--?
On the train
to Fagsville? Absolutely.
No doubt in my mind.
I'm so sorry, Robert.
A gay grandson, huh?
I can't imagine anything
worse than that.
Not Riley. Maybe there's
another explanation.
Maybe this is some crazy, sick
kind of misunderstanding.
No. Wake up.
Wake up and smell
the gay coffee.
All the evidence you could
possibly need
is right in front
of your face.
It'll only be
a matter of time before
that little boy'll
be a grown man,
bent over a table with
his pants around his ankles,
being entered repeatedly
by another man.
Choo-choo!
Last train to Faggotsville
leaving in five minutes!
Leaving in five minutes
for that chocolate tunnel hole.
Hey, boy. Something's
wrong with Riley.
He's wearing women's clothes
and carrying a purse.
What do you think it is?
Oh, I knew it.
A gay grandson.
Why me? Oh, man.
That's it.
It's gonna be weird.
It's gonna be so weird
from now on.
Poor you. You have
to share a room with him.
Nope. Can't
do that anymore.
You guys are gonna have to
have your own room. That's all.
Yep. Got to.
No other choice.
Probably shouldn't be using
the same bathroom.
Yes. That's right.
Matter of fact,
we might have to move Riley
out to the garage,
and that's all there is to it.
Did you know gay influence
in rap culture
has increased greatly
in the last 10 years?
Why?
First, rap culture has been
increasingly influenced
by prison culture.
And prison culture
is really, really gay.
Second, with rap albums
declining greatly
in profitability,
rappers often depend on
fashion lines to make money.
And fashion is really,
really, really gay.
Last but not least, we have
a drug called ecstasy.
Ecstasy is a love drug
that seem to make
gay things happen.
Bodies start moving
and sweating,
you can't help but want
to suck on something.
Hey, boy. Ahem.
You wanna go out
and play some football?
Not right now.
Hey, Riley, look.
Cutie-pie Cindy's
over to visit.
You wanna play
with her?
Young Reezy!
What's the business,
big baby?
Psht. No.
Ah! You cold
as ice, Reezy.
[♪♪♪]
Hey there, boy.
Let's spend
some man time together.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just you and me.
I take you anywhere
you wanna go.
Now, what do you say, huh?
Uh! Let's go chase
some girls.
Ooh! Let's go shopping.
[CLAPS]
GRANDDAD:
Wait a minute.
Maybe if someone talk
to him about sex,
this'll all
straighten itself out.
So you gonna talk to him?
Oh, no. Mm-mm, mm-mm.
No, not me. Mm-mm.
[♪♪♪]
So, you see,
my dearest Riley,
it is this instinctive
and burning need
to procreate
between a man and a bitch
that not only keeps
the human race going,
but also fuels
many important industries,
such as my very own.
So, what do you think
about homeys over ho's?
Is that something at Denny's?
I-- I don't know what that is.
Homeys over ho's?
You know, like, you supposed
to put your homey over a ho.
That's how pimps do, right?
I don't think homeys
over ho's is a sentiment
that A Pimp Named Slickback
can cosign, Riley.
I mean,
don't get me wrong.
A Pimp Named Slickback will put
a lot of things over a ho.
Money over a ho, always.
Brand-new gators over a ho,
absolutely.
A turkey sandwich
with just tomato, guaranteed.
But homeys? Oh, no.
A Pimp Named Slickback
don't do sh*t for the homeys.
Let me reiterate.
Don't do sh*t for the homeys.
Unless the homey wanna
walk that stroll
and get that money,
the homey ain't getting
a g*dd*mn thing.
And the same goes
for brothers,
peeps, dudes, fellas,
dunnies, comrades,
whatever the f*ck n*gg*s is
calling each other nowadays.
Sound like some
gay sh*t to me.
Hey. Gangstalicious
just hit me on MySpace
and said he put me on the list
for the show tonight. Yeah!
Don't you think it's strange
a superstar rapper
goes out of his way
to be nice to an 8-year-old?
Gangstalicious loves
his fans.
Especially the ones that
know his dirty little secret.
And by "dirty little secret,"
I mean the fact that he's gay.
Shut up! He ain't gay.
So, what if he's gay?
Statistically speaking,
gay men make more money.
They're cleaner.
Yeah, I guess.
They cook better,
they're better groomed,
less likely to get in trouble
with the law.
Really? You get all that
with gay?
And you don't have
to worry about
any accidental
great-grandkids. Huh?
That's true.
Last thing I need
around here
is some more kids.
See?
I don't know.
I'm from the old school.
I mean,
I ain't h*m*, but gay men
give me the heebie-jeebies.
Oh, come on.
What are you gonna do?
Stop loving your grandson
because he's gay?
Well, yeah, I guess.
Mmm. But maybe I'll
think about it.
We're back with our guest
Jessica Ethalberg,
also known as
Wonder Cheeks,
reading excerpts from her
amazing new best-selling book,
The Private Lives
of Superstar Rappers.
"Of all the rappers I met
during those years,
"I loved Gangstalicious
the most.
"I called him Freddy.
"I wanted more than anything
to give my heart to him forever,
but I couldn't because--"
"He was so
unbelievably gay."
"So unbelievably gay"?
ALL:
Gay?
[♪♪♪]
That bitch lying.
See? This is why I don't read.
Riley, he's gay. It's
really not that big a deal.
Not a big deal?
If he gay, I'm his homey
and a fan of his music,
then that makes me gay too.
I like Elton John.
It doesn't make me gay.
Is Elton John gay?
Yeah.
See? And you gay.
But I know I'm not gay.
'Cause I'm the most
not-gay n*gga
of all the not-gay n*gg*s
in the whole universe.
But, see, people hate on you
when you shinin', see.
That's what it is.
They make up stories.
Like me, I stay shining,
so who knows?
Pretty soon people
gonna be calling me gay.
But I'm not! And neither
is Gangstalicious.
[♪♪♪]
Full-throttle radio. Fatman
Scoop, a.k.a. Big Colorado.
We're back. And we have in
the building with us right now,
Gangstalicious himself.
Yo, what up, Scoop?
What's up with me?
What's up with you?
You tell me,
what's up with you?
A lot of crazy things are
being said right now about you.
I wanted to give you the chance
to clear the air right now.
So tell the world what
your side of the story is.
Well, first of all, that--
That-- That--
I ain't even gonna dignify
the accusations
with a response, you know?
'Cause that's so ridiculous.
I ain't got to answer
to no bitch.
See, this is exactly
the kind of sh*t
a scandalous ho is good for.
They known for. They notorious
for snitching, you know?
Whether you snitch to the feds
or you snitch to Random House,
you know,
snitching is snitching.
Oh, man. I can't believe
this sh*t.
I was gonna be able to pay
my car note this month.
I knew it. I always had
a feeling about that dude.
Oh, man! What are
we supposed to do now?
This gay-ass n*gga
gonna be here in a hour.
Oh, no. We-- We can't f*ck
with the song now.
I mean, if everyone,
you know, think he a h*m*,
and we get on
a track with him,
we gonna be h*m*
by association, dog.
