To say Aaron MacGruder was ahead of his time, is the understatement of the century.
💯💯💯
No. Things havent changed
Way ahead of his time
He was so one point and I love the show.
He’s the black Simpson
The Boondocks is still legendary. Rest in power John Witherspoon
I'm wondering if they bwill recast grandad though I can't see who they could get would you support new actor me I'm not sure but I won't protest like today's generation though
😍🥰😘
Yea pops bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!

Seriously ❤😢
I love that The Boondocks also calls out the hypocrisy and problematic issues in the black community. Aaron was the first to call out R.Kelly in that infamous episode. lol
Aaron was not the first, Dave Chappelle called out R. Kelly on the Chapelle Show 3 years prior to the Boondocks being aired.
lots of people were disgusted with R Kelly, the rest of society just didnt care
Dave Chappelle was first
No the boondocks pointed out racism in white society. You sounding like a sambo.
It's insane how Boondocks really predicted things without trying too hard
to me its not even prediction because this stuff was already goin on hahahaha but perhaps im mistaken
@@lowlowseesee you are not mistaken. People are slow
Confirmed, exposed, predicted some CM rappers were kissing each other in the mouth. Not to mention some of the stories of what some did to get contracts
Reality is predictable. Not that you can predict events, just that the patterns rhyme.
@@lowlowseesee It was going on. But the media always coveted it up. The media changed a lot during the modern social media era (right around when the original show was ending) so it was pretty symbolic
Regina King held it down playing two characters!!!!!
facts th-cam.com/video/4JHrzVWfNkk/w-d-xo.html
She did great, but I mean that's not unusual for most cartoons to play 2 characters. She did kill it though.
Regina King is really an old vet in the business. She been on TV since before some of y'all were born.

A Pimp Named Slick Back's soliloquy gets me everytime. 🤣🤣🤣.
He was one of my favorite characters
same!
😂😂😂😂
He was talking some real shit. He ain't with that bromance bullshit! Ha! lmao
I love that character a pimp named slick back you say the whole thing.🤣
personally I think it is very hypocritical for rappers who speak about selling drugs, killing people, sleeping with different. to then come out and say we care about the children it comes to homosexuality
Extremely hypocritical. If one follows the Bible, then one will see that both sexual lifestyles are condemned. GOD does not favor one sexual sin over the other as we do in the black community in general (not every black person does this, to be fair & accurate).
thats what you guys dont understand its just lyrics they are playing a persona they probably care about kids for real
right? who are you kidding 😭 i'd rather children be influnced to be themselves than act out violence that harms our communities. also most of these people making these exaggerated lyrics aren't being honest about the lifestyles they live either.
@@RyomenAyeni225 ok, but that still doesn't justify their homophobia. being gay doesn't hurt kids. being homophobic does.
@@2cool2bhot89 i dont see how not wanting homosexuality to be pushed onto kids is homophobic the guy was partially right you cant say i dont wanna date gay people without being cancelled anymore
i loved the end where grandad still tells riley he loves him even though he’s “gay”. the writer showed a great resolution, but unfortunately that doesn’t happen with many black households
This !
Black youth have a hard time differentiating between love and enabling and think that "if you love me then you'll love my behavior". You can love a drug addicted child and still not love their addiction. Evil behavior and the spirit that provokes it is not conductive of love
@@100016 But, there's nothing evil or harmful about homosexuality. It's like being left-handed. Drug addiction causes people to steal from loved ones, get involved with drug dealers and gangs, and overdose. They're not comparable at all.
@1006 YES!!! FINALLY someone said it!!! Thank you!!!
The Boondocks is my show, and Aaron Mcgruder dealt with every single topic in his show with comedy. I absolutely love the fact that Regina King did the voice of both Huey & Riley!!
I must admit I didn't know Regina King voices Huey & Riley I only found out a few days ago. Now I can hear Regina's voice whenever I see a clip from Boondocks.

Boondocks exposes the fact that our country needs to have a serious conversation about race, sexuality and Human rights. We ignore the obvious and create a false impression of what is.

Hey
Gangstalicious was extremely closeted
Lil Nas X is extremely openly gay
There's a BIG difference
HUGE! Lil Nas X doesn't rap about shooting and jumping people, robbing folk, or killing anyone. . . For the ones that DO REMEMBER, Young Thug was the focus at the time 🤣.
Gay's are every where.Working at all kind of jobs.
Are we pro or con.
That's what matters in today's world.
The devil is bis Z better go ask some body.
Gangstalicious might be young thug
Aaron Mcgruder was ahead of time no doubt and a true genius. He brought up topics that nobody wasn't aware whatsoever. That's been address in present tense.
The Boondocks using Gangstalicious was genius and Aaron is one of the most unapologetic black geniuses in the business. Also....... The host here looks drop dead gorgeous and I hope to see more of her
A double YES
No gay but that's there business do they thing's but men in lady's lady's in men that's the way our heavy father say it
th-cam.com/video/K_NuuaOtJ88/w-d-xo.html
Yeah she’s crazy fine
Yes Boondocks hit a lot nails on the head, lol. And ol girl is super fine!!
Boondocks will forever be timeless
This presentation of this sensitive issue was very well done. It addressed many of the issues unbiased and quite fairly. Good job 👍🏽
I wouldn't say unbiased... they know their audience.
@@SkoolieBoyQue
Nothing can ever be unbiased.
It was bias she said masculinity is toxic what about femininity can't that be toxic too n what is toxic because toxic is stagnant water with chemicals or poison
I remember when Boondocks was in the comic strips growing up years before they came to TV... My all time favorite cartoon and former comic strip...
Aaron is a true cultural genius.
facts th-cam.com/video/4JHrzVWfNkk/w-d-xo.html
No they did not predict Lil Nas X. What they were hinting at was all the down low rappers that exist in the industry, and there are plenty. They never predicted that a gay rapper would be successful.
This video is a super reach and completely misses the point of that episode.
That fool isn't gay..he fake
DID U EVEN SEE GANGSTALICIOUS 😳😳😳
They predicted young thug/wayne. Dude who had beef with gangstalicious could be considered birdman but that would be a bit of a reach
Gangstalicious did start these guys wearing girl clothes and purses though.
That character represented way more dudes before him.
"Is it homophobic to not adopt the media's point of view?" No it is not, regardless of the current narrative.
Well said 👏🏾
Couldn't have said it better myself! It seems like if you don't agree then you are a homophobe, but what about them being heterophobic 🤔. I definitely agree with Boosie it will not be normal to be straight, unless heterosexuals fight for it.
@@EVICIOUS13 agreed well said
People need to stay out of everyone’s bedroom and mind their business.
@@lynx2cross Exactly, so everyone should stop putting their business out there for everyone else to mind. We don't need to see everything.
A man doesn't have to put on a dress to be in touch with his feminine side. Nor does being in touch with it makes a man gay. Him being gay makes him gay.
men don't have "feminine" sides; it's called humanity.
@@jaredlhulum most accurate.
And clothes don't have genders, but we arbitrarily assign them a gender role.

Even the sentence "I do the homie" is witty with dual meaning. Clever and genius lol.
Boondocks was AHEAD of their time
"A Pimp Named SlickBack" say da whole thang!!! 😂😂😂😂
Ughhh, why can't we have this show back, in some kind of way? I miss these characters so much❤🥰
Like a tribe called quest lol
Well the Internet is there for you to watch it back to back till your eyes pop out 😄
facts th-cam.com/video/4JHrzVWfNkk/w-d-xo.html
We live in a time where speaking out against the gay agenda will get you ostracized. So unfortunately the authentic nature of the show would be cut out... Making it yet another tool to aid in the very things it was addressing against.
I swear he reminds me of Katt Williams
This was a GREAT and well done piece. Every part of it. Two Thumbs Up. WAY UP
So... we are supposed to condemn gay men and transgender but we're supposed to give lesbian woman a free pass because lesbianism is commercially accepted? Double standard.
“But like.. lesbians are hot”
No matter how you spin it is a abomination
But women are naturally bisexual which is why white men are more desirable to women than any other race.
@@MusicProducerGameDeveloper mate niggas like you be all of us down
That's a strange hypocrisy. If we are condemning the men and transgenders, we should be condemning the women as well. It's only fair.
Ehhh, they were just pointing out what's been going on for years. People are coming out now because it's more socially acceptable. I doubt that Nas X would have came out if he was blowing up 15-20 years ago. Just my opinion though, who knows.
You’re right. He probably wouldn’t have. I mean, it’s already hurting his bag as No black male rapper will work with him other than Cud.
@@DJNightKat I can see maybe a Tyler or Kanye colab. I don't really listen to music like I used to anymore and I don't follow the drama.
@@champsammy13 You're definitely not missing out on much. 😅
@@PeaceBeStill- I used to follow Hip Hop DX or something and got tired of what was being reported and decided that I don't give a shit.n

I'm currently going thru the Boondocks library season by season. A brilliant show, the way Aaron is able to take the most ludicrous situations and just blow them up to the most unbelievable extreme consequences is amazing. His characters range across such a broad scape and go from completely relatable to inconceivable. This was a great report, interesting and entertaining, and Ms. Le'Joy is an excellent host in addition to being a breathtakingly lovely young woman.
Aaron Macgruder was a freaking genius in creating this incredible show. I really miss the Boondocks 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
pretty sure im not gay the way I'm drooling over tatiana LOL
You ain't the only one.
Me too. She can get it
@@omegawicked1 Yes Lawd LOL
She's definitely got my attention 😸.
*I love the Boondocks but they definitely didn’t predict Lil Nas X.*
The ‘gay rapper, trope has been a long held secret in the Hip-Hop community, so all Aaron did was create a composite character [Gangstalicious] that represented this taboo in the culture. We seem to forget that the entire reason Aaron created the comic book was to satire the hypocrisy’s of racial culture in America using the current news events of that time… thus the TV show followed the same format.
*So again, the Boondocks did not predict anything… its just that our behaviors have not changed.*
Exactly
Facts
th-cam.com/video/K_NuuaOtJ88/w-d-xo.html
I would definitely classify Lil Nas x as pop more that hip/hop-rap
Exactly
VERY well spoken piece, thank you for your educated breakdown on the topic of homosexuals in hip hop. Well referenced & great delivery. You seem well put together, keep up the good work 👏
Say what you want about Lil Nas X, but he's 100% living his truth and not pretending to be someone he isn't. As for Tyler the Creator, don't forget how mad he got when Jaden said they were in love and in a relationship. I have more respect for the ones who know who they are and don't hide.
Keep Tatiana on. She's a great addition to the show.
I need her in Instagram

@@wildyoda2931 it was at the end of the video
yeah, she's cool peoples
Gangstaliscous Was a Prediction For Lil Nas X and Tyler The Creator just sayin
Yup. Bein gay isnt a real problem.
I think it was to show how some misogny in rap can come off as gay. Like the song homies over hoes by gangstalious. I think boondocks would have made fun of boosie more than lil nas x . Riley wouldnt like lil nas x but its to show some ignorant opions in the black community.
@@may1691 “ignorance in the black community.” And that’s really all it is.
Don't forget...young thug started this b4 lil Nas x, waaay before he hooked up wit a woman NOW! Giving his homies "pet names" and f***ing dudes!!!
LMFAOO wut?
Lil nas X is open. Gangstalicious was about y'all hidden homophobes gangsters who secretly gay
Aaron McGruder is a genius The Boondocks is his baby he clearly puts out topics that is happening in today’s society on his show
He didn’t create the Boondocks by himself. He had a business partner named *Reginald Hudlin* , who left the show in 2005 before its first airing, because he excepted a job at BET.
He was calling out homophobia in the 2000s
@@GMAV3RICK maybe on the tv side where Reginald Hudlin was a part of when came to the small screen but Aaron is the sole creator of Boondocks before it hit the small screen it was a comic strip
Salute to Aaron and the Boondocks staff thanks for introducing us to consciousness stories. Thanks for waking us up..
"Homies over hoooes!" 😂🤣🤣
🎶Do the homie. Do the homie. Do the homie 🎶 The song did make you want to sing it.🎶😂
@@michelebrown5142 that's the annoying part about it 😂 it's such a good song but so gay at same the Time.
I sing it, I just say "no Homo" in the End.
Hilarious!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😆😂🤣
@@michelebrown5142 That was the whole point of the skit...to show how they're influencing us under the radar, subliminally, with the music and subtle cultural changes.
This was EXCELLENT work, y’all. Great job!
Grew up watching this show , not only did it make me laugh hysterically it taught me to question the status quo and keep it 100
You hit the nail on the proverbial head everything you stated was straight facts
Gangstalicious dealt with closet case rappers who'd mask their homosexuality with misogyny. It's not a prediction of Lil Nas X who, whether you like him or not, is honest about himself being "flaming".
The critique does apply to Tyler but there were a number of rappers in the early 2000s who Gangstalicious was definitely targeted at.
Right. I tell people all the time its messed up because Lil Nas X is honest about being gay but other "gangsta" rappers out here fakin like they straight.
Right
He was honest with himself ONLY after lying about it to the rest of us at first(or deceiving because he hid it at the start of his fame).
@@blacblack7187 how was he deceiving people? I kinda new as soon he first came out.
@@kashaud17 He definitely wasn't as flamboyant as he is now, at first. But maybe your gaydar is more active and sensitive, than mine?
I actually applauded the originality of his hit song, but did question how a newcomer like him had the connections to hook up with Billy Ray???
BOONDOCK is almost too real!.. hip hop created an image years ago that was so overly masculine that if an artist wanted part of it they have to play along but now that's starting to swing in a drastically differently way
So you judging hiphop right. What about rock music, heavy metal, samba...
You must have your onions 🌰crossed with oranges 🍊.
No Music promotes masculinity. The artist decides the story they wanna narrate based on the reality they perceive. Forcing a gay or non straight agenda is what's wrong so f#@k that shit.
Let people do what they want and the if your audience likes it good and if they don't ferk off back to the studio... end of most of these artiste are liars anyways cause they only all about two things, the money and the attention ferking emotionally deficit individuals and their emotionally deficient fans also 😅
MIHMediaInc I’m not sure that’s correct … Rick had artists with big hair. Flamboyant arm movements and makeup 💄 not too far back. Many genres of music were absurd but hip hop really was just toxic AF. Even country music men have emotions. Hip hop men don’t have shyt but money, homies, and hoez.
@@MIHMediaInc I think you're seeing things like you want to..it might have been the real LONZO from STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTOM who said the gang situation and killings got far worse after NWA hit the scene...i'm in my mid 50's and have never known any music genre that has glorified violence, misogyny towards women or love of money an possessions like hip hop.. don't get me wrong i enjoy my ole school rap more then anybody but it definitely wasn't built to be gay friendly and made no secret of it...be safe an stay healthy
@@labenbrittenum6934 I remember seeing a video by
F.D signifier where he compares Kanye, and the rap scene during his rise, to kayfabe (WWE fantasy world)
Alot of rappers back then and now flaunt how they're "hard"
But realistically it is just for the performance. The money. It's what the crowd wants.
Like alot of them never slang, or lived in ghettos.
I still look at drake in confusion half the time lol (music Bops, but it's so fukking sanitized)
@@phataldestroyer i can agree...EASY-E was actually the only NWA member who kinda lived a real in the streets life..with most guys then and probably now it's a lot of performance art...my only point was as a 80's/90's person myself there's no way in hell NAS X could even dream about having a hip hop career till recently!..gangsta rap set a tone about what was allowed for almost 30 years
Lil Nas X isn't "Hip-Hop" he's "Hip Pop". Anyway, Aaron Mcgruder was ahead of his time and he's got even more material now than he did when he was doing the previous run.
I can't wait until he comes back! The Boondocks is like a holiday family tradition in my family now 😂 It's crazy how this show took off on Cartoon Networks Adult Swim and how big it is in the black community 😄
He'd probably do better to call himself Lil X and leave Nas out of it.
@Terence Johunkin Lil N X isn't that original original of hip-hop like Eminem is from.
yeah that reminds me of when people think that Post Malone is a rapper. or Ty Dolla SIgn is a rapper. they rap sometimes but these men are singer songwriters technically.
@@chriss4357 Nas and Lil Nas X were on a song together
I remember reading the Boondocks comic strips in the newspaper b4 it was made into a show on Adult Swim.
"...seems as if black men are encouraged to dress in drag, but the minute one speaks out against it, it's transphobia" excellent point. We needed a Sista to say it.

That’s an extremely popular, though unfortunately completely inaccurate take, with older black folks.
I feel like Tyler looks more like Gangstalicous & he’s more of a rapper that’s gay than Lil Nas. Nas a pop artist more.
Always say Lil Nas X or Lil Nas so we don't confuse him with Nas. But you are right, while Lil Nas X has hip hop and rap elements, he is ultimately pop.
Tyler is gay. Jaden Smith came out and said he was his boyfriend. Years ago

That show is sorely missed. And unfortunately the reboot that was announced a couple of years ago probably died with the loss of John Witherspoon since we've heard nothing more about it since his passing
Why are the people that say the most inappropriate things in their music and interviews have the nerve to talk about how being gay is harming the children. Whether it is or it isn’t these artists are harming the children by taking about killing people and portraying sexual activity in their music videos etc. Children shouldn’t be listening or seeing that, but they don’t touch on that, they only care about the children when there’s a gay artist. Hippocrates!
Parents need to take control of what their children view and listen to, in the best way they can.
I am surprised that some people were surprised that sexist homophobic rappers were ofttimes gay themselves.
While it is accurate to say that black gays sought refuge in the black church, after all ,where else could they go. Like other blacks they were redlined together.
Having said that, the notion that homophobia in the black American community has its origins in the church is misguided. I can understand that the subject may be painful to some, embarrassing to others, but Africa has historically been culturally inhospitable to homosexuals, ( American blacks originated in Africa and people carry their cultural baggage with them).
Lastly, many white slave owners were gay and they used their black ‘property’ in the same manner as white heterosexuals used black and Native American chattel slaves, sexually. There are records to prove it. It is a hard topic to deal with for some. But the time to do so, is overdue.
You're talking about gay rappers but I bet you can't name one except Lil Nas x 😂

The only thing that remotely justifies the weeds that grow in the garden is no one is tending to the garden and then you have too many trampling under foot what could grow. What I mean is people don't seem to care enough about the conditions of other people. This literally helps set the atmosphere for weeds to grow and flourish over real flowers. I said real flowers because weeds bloom and spawn other weeds which in turn take over the garden. The only way to make sure this doesn't happen is to recognize and acknowledge that a foundation has already been laid for the possibility of flowers and then care enough about the possibilities that could come out of working the land in the way it was given naturally. This is what ultimately acknowledges what life has provided for life to live.
That was such a great show wish it was still going
i still remember working for the newspaper and even before that being newspaper reader in the early 2000s maybe even 1998...cant remember. but i remember boondocks being in the comic strip and being shocked at what was going on. it wasnt as raw as the cartoon got but seeing these characters and my people standing among the old guard of giant characters was so great
Love Boondocks, love the comic strip and the show
McGruder is conscious and enlightened too
Need more of that
I just watched this episode last night😂
Facts! Way ahead of his time and nailed so much of the future events.
I wish it still came on. MacGruder you are a genius for your work
What the black community can learn accepting that they can pick up from the nearest library books on human sexuality and read them and that will solve the homophobic attitudes
That’s straight up facts what you said and I agreed
@@Louisdc k.
There is never the same conversation about sexuality in the Heavy Metal, Punk, Country or Boy band communities. Where New Kids on the Block has a gay member and so did Nysce. The Rock community had songs about relationships with under age girls. This is never discussed to an exhausting extent as it is about the hip hop community. Who’s gay in rap and the homophobia.
Cause blacks are the culture and all eyes are on us
The Boondocks enjoyed the content and watch it all the time on adult swim. It's so amazing to me to see how it literally shows with an what society has become now.
I'm dying because the ads were for Aladdin (big gay black genie) and some skin cream LOLOLOL
I understand it. I was almost sent to an abusive conversion camp in South America when I came out. Multiple kids died there from the abuse. I had to threaten to kill myself to get out of that shit. Now I’m out on my own living as a woman and I’ve never been happier. There’s a lot of homophobia in society in general and the hip hop community is no exception. It was weird growing up loving hip hop yet being hated by many of the artists I love. I think it’s awesome that more are coming out, but I get waiting until they’re more accepted. The pushing it on the kids shit is stupid. Young people are the main ones who don’t like homophobia lol. Being straight and cis will always be the norm. Pushing people not to be bigoted is totally different. I don’t want you pretending you’re gay. There’s no point. The whole thing is just be yourself and don’t shit on people for being themselves. If you’re being a dick to people for no reason and adding to the massive amount of shit they already deal with don’t cry when people don’t like you.
Aaron McGruder was ahead of his time.
respect this man
Its crazy to me how popular this episode was and people still ain't see alot of these guys coming out.
What Slickback said was not homophobic. What he meant is that he does nothing for men in a blanket term. Which makes sense. He is in a very demanding, cut throat, profession and it would be unwise for him to waste his resources on his homies because they are perfectly capable of fending for themselves.
I wish Aaron would bless us with at least one more season of The Boondocks. So much has happened since he left the scene.
OAN: I just realized that Tatiana is the chick in Jamal the Creative and Kountry Wayne’s skits. She’s multitalented.
It’s coming back on HBO max I think some time next year
@@kiandrapierce2134 I hope so. We need new Boondocks episodes.
Boondocks was going at the homoerotic nature of gangster rap. Lil Nas has NEVER proclaimed to be a gangster.

I remember having this same conversation with my brother about the NFL. He denied, denied, denied. One year several guys came out.
Boosie, the man who publically admitting to child sex trafficing, yet inexplicably remains free, doesn't get an opinion
The fact that it's more "straight" rappers that dress like that MORE frequently than the out and proud #LilNasx
Cause they in the closet unlikely him
They closet gays, niggas walking around with with purse
Lol, you really think they are heterosexuals, that they are
not gay or bisexual.
Some of them are on the down low
Cause them niggas is in the closet that's why what straight man wears a dress or rocks a purse
They're not straight.
When you look up the term ahead of the curve, there should be a picture of Aaron McGruder. That man masterpiece the boondocks came out in 2005, & it’s topics are still relevant to this day…
He knew the future of so many things in that series
I've been telling people it's religion forever. I'm not in the business in changing religious people minds. They don't have to accept your lifestyle. They just have to respect you as an individual.
I'm gay and went to an all black high school. They didn't consider me black because I'm mixed and gay. I was just that gay kid to them. And personal I never gave a fuck, even now. Gay, Weathly and happy! I love being gay and I love seeing others out and proud. People have a right to their feels even if bad. Normally they are gay themselves and dont want others to find out.
You’re not black
@@liltree8382 because he's mixed or because he's gay?
@@liltree8382 people be glorifying this gay b.s especially in minority community.
The Boondocks was prophetic and a brilliant body of work. I hope he makes more episodes soon. ❤️
A while ago there used to be a Podcast called That's Gay and they covered this topic.
