I always wanted to see the videos that went with the dances they was doin."

Juvenile is a New Orleans' rapper. "His" in this comment refers to DJ Jubilee, another New Orleans rapper. Click https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/jury-sides-with-juvenile-in-song-theft-case-71207/ for a 2003 article about Juvenile and DJ Jubilee. That article reports that a jury ruled against DJ Jubilee in his suit that alleged that Juvenile's hit 1999 song "Back That Azz Up" was based on Jubilee's 1998 song "Back That Thang Up" (also known as "Back That Ass Up").  The two New Orleans rappers had problems with each other prior to the release of both of those songs, as evidenced by DJ Jubilee's diss of Juvenile in his 1993 recird "Jubilee All".

*This word is fully spelled out in that comment. The words "Bounce fa da juvenile' / That ain't it! / Do the Jubilee ", a  diss to the rapper Juvenile,  are part of the lyrics to that song. "the Beenie Weenie" is a dance that DJ Jubilee made up and called out in his 1993 "Jubilee All" record.

10. @Priinsu
"So the first recorded instance of a song or video of twerking is men twerking? I think this drives the point home about gender being a social construct. I mean typically when we think of twerking we think of women doing it because it's mostly thought of as something women ( and effeminate men) do but here in this video we see seemingly straight men twerking in rap no less and proud of it. Somewhere along the line from this until now there was a shift in gender expectations for twerking. Where even though one of the first depictions of twerking was by men it became something more associated with feminity and considered less masculine.

Idk I just think it's interesting the way it played out."

Homophobia In Discussion Thread Comments of Three YouTube Hip Hop Dance Compilations

Edited by Azizi Powell

This post provides selected comments about homosexuality from the discussion threads of three viral Hip Hop dance videos- one video of Rich Homie Quan's "Flex" (Ohh,Ohh,Ohh) as well as one sound file and one video of @iloveMemphis' "Hit The Quan" song/dance.

The content of this post is presented for cultural, sociological, cultural purposes.

Thanks to all those who are featured in these videos, all those who are quoted in this post, and the publishers of these videos on YouTube.

Click http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2015/08/what-hit-quan-really-means.html for the related pancocojams post "What Hit The Quan REALLY Means".

WARNING: The "Flex (Ohh,Ohh,Ohh)" song and the complete "Hit The Quan" song contain profanity and the four letter form of the n word. However, the shortened form of "Hit The Quan" that is featured in a video embedded in this post doesn't include that content.

I've provided a link to a video of Rich Homie Quan and others performing the "Flex" dance, and a link to a sound file of the complete "Hit The Quan" song and dance that was inspired by Rich Homie Quan's song. However, because the n word is audible throughout the compilation video of Rich Homie Quan's "Flex" song and dance, I decided not to embed that video. Also, because the n word and profanity are audible in the complete version of @iloveMemphis's "Hit That Quan" song, I've decided not to embed that sound file. I've included links to those examples as a citation because I am documenting selected comments from those examples' discussion threads. I've embedded a video of "Hit That Quan" because the song in that video doesn't include profanity, the n word, or other problematic content (besides the pantomining of someone shooting and being shot that is performed by some of the dancers).

As a reminder, many of those discussion threads contain profanity, sexually explicit references, homophobic references, and other content that I consider to be problematic.

****
EDITOR'S COMMENT
I really dislike the use of the n word, the homophobic references, racist references, sexually explicit references, and other content in YouTube discussion threads that I consider to be problematic. However, I also believe that some comments on those discussion threads- including some of the comments with the above mentioned content -to be of folkloric importance as a means of documenting perspectives, values, and interests. I also have found some comments on YouTube discussion threads to be interesting, informative, and well-written. In addition, I like to document the types of user names that internet commenters have. For all of those reasons, I regularly read YouTube comment threads and I often include selected YouTube discussion thread comments in my pancocojams posts. But usually those selected comment examples don't include any comments with homophobic references.

I'm including examples of those comments in this post because I've noticed a theme in which recent Hip Hop dances are described as being "gay" in discussion threads of We Are Toonz's 2013 "The Nae Nae" dance, Silento's "Watch Me" (Whip/Nae Nae), as well as in the discussion threads of examples of the two Hip Hop dances that are featured in this post. This criticism may also have been included in discussion threads of other Hip Hop dances (such as Solja Boy's "Crank That" dances.) However, I've not gone back to read those discussions to ascertain if that is the case.

I'm a heterosexual female who strongly believes that gender orientation should be protected and LGBT people should have the same rights as everyone else. As I wrote in my post on how the Nae Nae got its name, I believe that in the 2013 We Toonz Nae Nae dance (and not as much its later Silento "Watch Me" form), dancers purposely imitate certain female dance moves. I don't think that imitation is meant maliciously. And I don't think that that imitation means that the dance is "gay" or that all men who do that dance are gay. Nor do I think that the other Hip Hop dances that I mentioned are "gay" or "feminine". That said, I don't think there is any thing wrong with being gay and I'm sure that some dancers who do these dances are LGBT.

I believe that these comments on these YouTube discussion threads reflect these comments very deeply rooted homophobia within many African American communities. I hope that recognizing those comments help to motivate individuals and communities to recognize and eradicate those attitudes and behaviours that are emotionally traumatizing and that can be physically hurtful.

"Another trash ass song for ni&&as* to praise and to do a feminine ass dance to. I wish yall would stop hyping these kids up like they have talent. All they do is copy sh&t* from other artist and make a song.

Notice the use of "ass" as an intensifier in this comment and the comment directly above it. Here's another example of this use of "ass" which was included in the discussion thread for the Rich Homie The Quan song/dance given as Example #1:
" Angel Of Death Uchiha, July 2015
"Man all these [profanity deleted] weird ass dances coming out of America.
But still got to love it I haven't tried it out yet though."
-snip-
The word "ass" in those comments means "very" (as in "very weird dances").

"Ok what I see is another tactic to feminize the black male as well as getting used to the image and the fact that black males getting shot is now considered "normal" smh. Tf is going on."

"Rich homie quan dance still gay to me but I'll do the rest lol"
-snip-
"I'll do the rest" means that the commenter would do the other dance moves that are combined with the Rich Homie Quan dance because he doesn't think that those dance moves are "gay".

"Those that think that the new dance moves now are "Stupid and Dumb and gay" then back the [profanity deleted] off this is a new generation of all types of [profanity deleted] and stuff will keep evolving. +King Imprint keep doing what you love to do iiight"
-snip-
I think the word "iight" means "alright" (i.e. "okay".) or (am I right?). Right? ("iight") usually is found at the end of a sentence as a way of seeking affirmation from the person the comment/question you are speaking to that he or she agrees with what you just said.
