His character is a vehicle to explore the intricate dynamics of the black community and its relationship with hip-hop.
With his complicated, dual-life narrative, Gangstalicious highlights the struggle between maintaining a public image and personal authenticity.
Gangstalicious’ complex relationship with his young admirer, Riley Freeman, underscores the influential power of celebrity culture.
Riley’s blind emulation of Gangstalicious’ lifestyle illuminates the pervasive impact of public personas on young, impressionable minds.
I talk to Gangstalicious all the time.
Hey, yo, for real?
[LINE RINGING]
GANGSTALICIOUS: Hello?
RILEY: What up, 'Lish?
Hey! Hey-- Hey, man, did you get that, uh--
That box of clothes I sent you?
It's your size, right?
Oh, yeah.
That was a good look. That's right.
Matter of fact, we might have to move Rileyout to the garage, and that's all there is to it.
Did you know gay influence in rap culturehas increased greatly in the last 10 years?
Why?
First, rap culture has been increasingly influencedby prison culture.
And prison culture is really, really gay.
Second, with rap albums declining greatlyin profitability,rappers often depend on fashion lines to make money.
And fashion is really, really, really gay.
Last but not least, we have a drug called ecstasy.
Ecstasy is a love drugthat seem to make gay things happen.
Bodies start moving and sweating,you can't help but want to suck on something.
Hey, boy.
"Off the hook"?
Tell us about that.
Well, you know, Reege, we just had to bring our own flavorto the fashion game. I do the homey.
That's not gay? A gay grandson.
Why me? Oh, no.
A Pimp Named Slickback don't do shit for the homeys.
Let me reiterate.
Turn off the lights.
Shh! His favorite fictional rapper is Thugnificent.
Gangstalicious from The Boondocks
Gangstalicious, real name Frederick, is Riley Freeman’s adored rapper and a regular character in The Boondocks. Just you and me.
I take you anywhere you wanna go.
Now, what do you say, huh?
Uh!
Not only are the members of Lethal Interjection wearing his clothing line, they buy into a construction of masculinity that, taken to its logical conclusion by a gay rapper in the immortal “Homies Over Hoes,” suggests that even needing women is a sign of weakness. The real story is that Gangstalicious, like most of the rappers on The Boondocks, are posers, selling something they don’t own.
You have to share a room with him.
Nope. While they’re on the run from his assailants, Riley learns that his hero Gangstalicious is really the type of dude who’s adamant about proper seatbelt safety in a car chase. Lethal Interjection skips out on their track with him to avoid being called gay (while wearing pearl necklaces).
Huey doesn’t care, but does exploit gay panic to get his own room. But I know I'm not gay.
'Cause I'm the most not-gay niggaof all the not-gay niggas in the whole universe.
But, see, people hate on you when you shinin', see.
That's what it is. Definitely, Kelly.
You know, we just want cats out there in the street,you know, to step their jewelry game up.
It's all about pearl necklaces.
Wow!
(Macktastic protests: “It ain’t like we respectin’ them or nothin’ like that.”)
But the most critical character in this story isn’t Gangstalicious, or even Granddad: it’s Riley. You mean how you was crying and everythingwhen niggas was chasing us? We’re coming closer—Le1f on Letterman, Frank Ocean’s career, even Mister Cee—but that’s all movement in the right direction, not the flashpoint Gangstalicious would have created.
Tom thinks that it’s a good thing for someone to be gay since gay people are cleaner because of course Tom would think that. See? This is why I don't read.
Riley, he's gay. I'm saying, I-I mean, you know, this iswhat real niggas out in the strugglewanna see right now, man.
Yo, that's real talk.
Hey. Often, these fictional rappers are terrible collections of dumb stereotypes.
