The man who coined the phrase “no homo”

by Carmen Van Kerckhove

Back on episode 71 of Addicted to Race, Dumi Lewis and I discussed the phrase “no homo.” It’s hilarious to see someone take this on in a satirical way. Hat tip to Stereohyped.

    I swear that “no homo” was once limited to the five boroughs of New York. I wish it hadn’t escaped.

    It escaped online and spread across the world through the power of Dipset.

    That vid is funny though

    Yeah, you can “thank” (or, more correctly, “blame”) our good friends The Diplomats, and in particular Cam’Ron and Juelz Santana, for the phrase “No Homo”.

    Apparently, the pressure of being in an all male hip hop crew (no “first lady” for Dipset!), who were prone to wearing all pink outfits (often accented by lavendar robes) and who’s leader, Cam’Ron, was partial to driving around Harlem in his customized all pink Range Rover, made the Diplomats feel it was necessary to “prove” that they were “Not Gay”.

    Or, as they would put it “No Homo”

    [Maybe a certain Senator from Idaho would have benefited from that phrase - if he’d only told that Minneapolis Detective “No Homo” after sticking his hands and feet under that stall, perhaps he never would have gotten arrested!!]

    Anyway, I live in the same neighborhood Dipset come from - and every insecure middle school aged boy around here uses that phrase All The Time!!!

    I love the percentage comment: “50 percent are gay, and the other 50 percent just don’t know they’re gay - they have untapped gay potential.” Fantastic!

    Yeah I never did get Dipsets No Homo move with there with there pink and purple color schemes. Some one should have called that crew out (of the closet) a long time ago.

    The best example I’ve seen making fun of the absurdity of “no homo” and other typical jock homo-erotic behavior that is simultaneously paranoid about teh gay is in this parody of 300 called “300 Queers.”

    I think he was rollin in a pink Ferrari when someone tried to shoot him in DC. Velvet Mafia?

    gatamala,

    Actually, Cam’Ron has a blue Ferrari - and, since he’s stopped driving pink luxury cars (and switched to a more “masculine” color) he’s had a run of bad luck.

    The day he got his blue Ferrari he went on BET’s 106 and Park, announced to the whole world that he’d traded in the pink Range Rover for a blue Ferrari - and got arrested by the NYPD as soon as he drove away from the studio!

    Oddly enough, he never had a problem with police harassment when he had a pink car - but when he switched to blue…

    Shortly after that, down in DC, person or persons unknown shot Cam’Ron while he was driving that same blue Ferrari.

    Maybe he should get it painted pink - he might be safer!
