The Ultimate Hip-Hop Song About Homosexual, Scorned Love.
This, to be blunt, is not a diss track. It sounds like two very upset, possibly betrayed, ex-lovers of Eazy-E teaming up and trying to insult him, but coming off as two flaming gentlemen that would still jump his bones given the chance. Every "insult" either involves having forced oral sex or intercourse with another man. What makes this song rather fascinating is that instead of simply vilifying homosexuality through simple immaturity or idiotic religious beliefs (as was par course in 90s era mainstream hip-hop), the two performers, in Snoop and Dre, involve themselves in numerous homosexual acts with the man they're trying to defame.
You obviously then have to wonder how high were they when they recorded this, but more importantly, where exactly are all these pent-up homosexually-laced feelings coming from (especially from Mr. Dre)?
I mean, I'd understand one ironic "Eh yo, you're a fag, suck my dick bitch" in your average, lazily-crafted hip-hop track, but the sheer repetition of pent up, frustrated homosexual undertones amidst the attempts at insults really makes me curious as to Mr. Dre's thought processes during the recording of this track.
I imagine Snoop was there because there was a paycheck at the end of the day for simply being Snoop, as that's kind of how his career worked post-Doggystyle. But there was history between Dre and Eazy, making me look a tad deeper into Dre's pent-up and sexually frustrated words. Could there have been a relationship between the two? We'll of course never know, and homophobia is so crushingly ingrained into the fabric hip-hop (sadly), that any honest discussion of the possibility of a relationship between the two would just result in two fan bases calling each others idols "gay". Do I think there was a relationship that went sour? Why not? It's certainly not impossible, nor all that strange when you think about it, and celebrities certainly have done weirder things, like endorsing scientology/ thinly veiled money laundering schemes.
To wrap this up, this song would make the members of the Village People blush, and is more overtly gay than the entire Pet Shop Boys discography put together. Unfortunately, it lacks any of the Pet Shop Boys' awesomeness or the pure camp value/ hilarity of the Village People and just ends up being a lazily put together, though lyrically hilarious and unintentionally fascinating, attempt at a diss track.
It also about as threatening and emotionally convincing as your average Drake track.
