Clarification: Lil Wayne Is Not Gay For Himself

He's so sweet, make her wanna lick the (w)rapper
-Lil Wayne in this delightful remix of "Lollipop"

In what may be one of the most beautiful double entrendres in the history of pop rap (or "prap" as perennial phrase-coiner Zoe calls it), Lil Wayne constructs a witty adulation of his own sexual appeal. Of course, it is a surprise to no one that the "he" of which he speaks is, indeed, himself -- undeniably, the sweetest of all rappers. But, in this day and age of rampant homosexuality and ambiguous preferences, a true street thug must take care to caveat all compliments directed at a member of the same sex. Accordingly, if you listen closely, you'll hear Weezy throw in a quick "no homo" before complimenting himself. Good thing he made that clarification, because we all know: if a man compliments a man (even if it's himself), he's totes a homo.

  1. love this post! reminded me of kanye's rap solo in "run this town," where he's using the universal "you" to talk about himself:

    "it's crazy how you can go from being joe blow to everybody on your dick. no homo."

    weird that insulting a 15-year gets you criticized all over the media, but being homophobic is par for the course...
