efemjay says he’s “never going out” – he’s not going to quit rapping. Also, that he’s “in the house” – he has figuratively arrived on the rap scene and isn’t going anywhere.

The double meaning of the terms is explored by efemjay comparing himself to a hermit – someone who literally never “goes out” and stays “in the house.”

efemjay’s rapping ability is “sick” – it’s very good. It is “sicker” than seeing your own grandmother dressed up in a stripper’s nurse costume. Gross!

Unless your grandma looks like this:

efemjay says his “flow” is “nasty” – his ability to rap (flow) is very good (nasty). He likens this to a “bull-dyke’s” menstrual period – the flood of her menstrual blood is “nasty” in the more common sense of being disgusting.

An allusion to KRS-ONE’s song “Mortal Thought” from the album Return of the Boom-Bap.

Lyrics, somebody want lyrics, from the lyrical terrorist
Here’s a little something for you all to remember Kris
And remember this, I am no pessimist
More of an optimist-activist-revolutionist
Yes the hardest artist, And the smartest
Yo, Premier, spark this!

The most popular and controversial song on Full Blown AIDS, this song is intended as satire. The idea is that efemjay’s character is a typical, “macho” U.S. male, raised in a culture of homophobia, who is now trying to come to terms with society’s evolving attitudes toward homosexuality. Amid this, he finds out his good friend is gay – and this is a struggle for efemjay. He wants to be accepting of his friend, but he goes about it all wrong. “My Homie’s Gay” is intended to be humorous, but the joke is supposed to be on the efemjay character and on homophobes in general – not on gay people.

It should also be noted that the name given to the gay character, “Booger D,” is a nickname of one of efemjay’s real friends – who actually produced two tracks on Full Blown AIDS and raps on two tracks as well. “Booger D,” now known as The Chancellor, is not gay. The song is based on a true story about one of efemjay’s other friends, but the name used was changed to protect the innocent. “Booger D” was not particularly happy about this, as is evident by the voice-mail message at the end of this song.

The song begins and ends with dialogue from The 40-Year-Old Virgin. The beat samples the War song “Heartbeat.”

Finally, efemjay’s insecurity is laid bare: He is hurt that his gay friend does not find him attractive. In all the years that they’ve been friends, efemjay’s gay friend has never made a sexual overture.

After trying to give efemjay hints by saying he liked “shrimping” and “snowballs,” efemjay’s friend ultimately tells him something that cannot be taken any other way: He likes “sucking shitty dicks” – i.e., not only does he like performing fellatio, which alone would be sufficient to establish his homosexuality; he enjoys performing fellatio on dirty penises directly from the rectums of other men (or perhaps his own). This, according to the efemjay character, would be the epitome of gayness.
