Ephphany while listening to The Chronic - What the hell is this?

Yesterday I brought Dr. Dre's The Chronic to listen to on the bus to work and I had an epiphany. I hadn't heard to this old favorite in a while, maybe a year. I heard these lyrics coming through my headphones:

Now understand this my nigga Dre can't be touched
Luke's bendin over, so Luke's gettin fucked, busta
Musta, thought I was sleazy
Or though I was a mark cause I used to hang with Eazy
Animosity, made ya speak but ya spoke
Ay yo Dre, whattup, check this nigga off loc
If it ain't another ho that I gots ta fuck with
Gap teeth in ya mouth so my dick's gots to fit
With my nuts on ya tonsils
While ya on stage rappin at your wack-ass concerts
And I'ma snatch your ass from the backside

I thought to myself, "How odd, this is – I'm listening to this fantasy in which where one man dominates another by raping him anally and forcing his penis into his mouth. It's being whispered in my ear as I'm riding down Broad Street to work."

Have you ever had a moment like that, where you step back and think "What the hell am I listening to?"

On a similar tip, I often get that when I am listening to those bizarre fantasies at the opening to Wu-Tang's "Method Man".

Ain't you boys ever heard of latent homosexuality?

I used to listen to records while I worked dorm security in college. For some reason, whenever there was a hip-hop skit involving sex noises, someone would walk in and look at me all funny. I hated that.

That's not exactly "latent," though, is it?

Moondog had his nuts on whose tonsils now?

Heard of it?!?! I LIVE IT!

i've had the same kind situation with dr dre's 2001 - when i realize i'm wholeheartedly rapping along to fuck you

dre is gay rumours = older than dirt

i'm assuming this is way different though. in prison or even way back in the days of greek, a man is only gay if he's taking it. this is more a sign of dominance

or he's gay, who cares.

Does he play Rugby as well?

Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 16 October 2003 17:49 (twenty-one years ago)

you can find this sort of stuff on any of the old g-funk albums, especially the ones w/ dre.

The point is that I'm through listening to music about forced oral copulation.

Mark (MarkR), Thursday, 16 October 2003 18:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Your loss.

oops (Oops), Thursday, 16 October 2003 18:05 (twenty-one years ago)

man, i've only cracked the surface

I'm sure someone who knows little of the hidden cameras bio would be pretty surprised about the subject matter of their songs..

also if youre casually listening to 'clouds taste metallic' by the flaming lips, 'probing the fetus with needles' might freak you out too.

What I always thought was odd about that snippet was that it's almost like Dre is insulting himself: "gap tooth in ya mouth so my dick's gots to fit"

Yeah, it seems like it would have been more effective put-down if he'd said something about knocking all his teeth out first or something.
