With Lasto, Kaoz, Bry’Nt, Siya and Fly Young Red out there on the frontlines of the gay rap music scene, the world of mainstream Hip Hop will have to start making room for more LGBT artists.
Now its time to add another name to the list. We haven’t mentioned the rap duo “Freaky Boiz” much on this website…Scratch that, we haven’t mentioned them ever.
Well the young bucks have finally given us a reason to give them some props by dropping this new music video for their song “Jockin Em.”
The video features rappers TTGotIt & Prince Charming creatively remaking the classic film “Friday”, portraying the Ice Cube and Chris Tucker main characters from the film. What a simple yet dope idea…and very well executed.
While not relevant to their talent, the young dudes are really easy on the eyes too…at least to this gay rap fan. And full disclosure: I’ve always thought the below photo of the rap duo was pretty dope and sexy.
Before you start jumping to conclusions that they are a couple, they’re just really close friends.
This was confirmed in their infamous interview on the morning syndicated radio show The Breakfast Club. I say “infamous” because radio personality Charlemagne The God totally sonned them the whole time. At no point did he show these two grown men he was interviewing any kind of respect.
I actually felt bad for them as they sat there not being asked questions about their music, talent or large fan base…instead they were subjected to Top/Bottom questions, details about their sexuality, had they had sex with each other, questions about being gay, when did they come out, etc…Are heterosexual artists subjected to these types of questions? During the entire interview?
Even if a Gay Rapper were to get mainstream, it will be an uphill battle to get the black audience to truly take them seriously.
wait, didn’t they steal this idea from Audio Push?
I love this video and the song! So simple yet so genius with the inspiration drawn from the Friday movie. Reminds me of when I was growing up in my own hood. NO ONE COULD STOP TALKING ABOUT THE FRIDAY MOVIE AND MAKING JOKES ABOUT IT! Now several years later you have two gay rappers drawing inspiration from it and reinventing the wheel. I loved the eye candy in it too! Dude spraying the water hose… if only he had a little bit more in the back lol. 😉
I liked how they are males rapping about exactly what I fantasize about too at times (don’t judge me lol). Their cadence was on point and they rode the Trap-inspired beat so well. They are witty and playful with their lyrics and I hope to hear & see more from the Freaky Boyz.
But yeah man I really enjoyed this and I have been following Freaky Boyz since and I hope that they along with Fly Young Red, LastO and other talented gay rappers will gain more exposure.
I wonder how Ice Cube & Chris Tucker would react if they saw this. LOL.
Well the song is cool but I’m let down by the video. If they were going to spoof Friday I would have preferred they went all the way. It was essentially just them on the porch and on bikes.
The video concept was cool. I’m just not into this type of “hip hop” music…be it gay or str8. I wasn’t impressed at all, but more power to them…some are easily impressed by what they see…I would rather be impressed by the way they spit…
The video was cool. I liked the concept and how they spoofed it.
The interview was a normal interview. Charlamagne does that to all the guests. Youtube the interview with Joselyne and Stevie. So much ignorance. Lol
As the young boys said you can’t deny their talent.
I was just thinking how far we(black gay community)has come. Its not mainstream but we pushing forward. Glad to see young talent show their voice. I like the video and the concept.
Love the video!
@nick – ‘Even if a Gay Rapper were to get mainstream, it will be an uphill battle to get the black audience to truly take them seriously.’
This is exactly what I was sayin about Fly Young Red after he made a song called ‘Boi Pussy’!!!
Charlemagne aint shit, and he and everyone else knows it. He goes in on any and everyone, but the sad part is that he couldnt acknowledge them outside of jokes.
Ya I like this better than boy pussy… Hmm it will quite interesting.. Do you think with this kinda surge with more out rappers coming out gay clubs and i guess gays in general will start forming their own music culture as well?
If these artist become more profitable I don’t they would have to form an underground industry. Like on youtube if you get a million views they send you a check from what Im told. If their following continues to grow then labels will be looking for them.
