Your Favourite Rappers Are Gay

Well, unintentionally gay...thanks to the intentionally funny tumblr site about unintentional gay rap lyrics. 

BIGGIE: “We fucked in his bed, quite dangerous, I’m in his ass while he playing against the Utah Jazz”
(From “I Got A Story To Tell”)
I totally get it, Biggie fucked some dude’s girlfriend. “His bed” and “His ass” refers to the dude’s ownership over the bed and her ass. But it just sounds reaaaally gay.

SNOOP DOGG: “I got a pocket full of rubbers and my homeboys do too.. so turn out the lights and close the door (but for what?) we don’t love them hoes!”
(From “Gin and Juice”)
So let’s be clear here: You’ve got condoms, so do your boys, you just turned off the lights and closed the door. And you hate women. That’s so gay.

BEANIE SIEGEL: “I’ll blow a nigga for a box of Huggies.”
(From “Toney Siegel aka The Barrell Brothers”)
Guys, maybe it’s time to stop with using “blow” as a synonym for “shoot.” Nonetheless, the image of Beanie Sigel giving a blojob for a box of diapers is hilarious.

What Was In LeBron’s Tiny Purse?

“On Sunday morning, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade walked through Staples Center and proceeded to shake up the interwebs with another joint fashion statement. Yes, Wade’s outfit was abnormal for the standard NBA player (white pants, spray-on copper shirt, big purse) but at this point, that’s par for the course for the Dade County Diva. What stole the show, however, was his 6-foot-8 man-child teammate, who was carrying around a bag the size of a cannoli. “Much was made about LeBron’s latest fashion decision, and many speculated about what he lugged around in that leather Ziploc.

Some of my guesses:
— A single, monogrammed Q-tip
— A set of jacks
— A full facial set
— Loose mayonnaise
— An even smaller bag
— 3 quarters and no rings
“Unfortunately, because Captain and Tennille LeBron and Wade are such easy targets for all of the hate, the beauty in their fashion decisions is often lost in the shuffle.”
