I've been listening a lot to this G-Unit song ("Rider pt. 2") because it's just so gay:
This post at Idolator pretty much sums it up, with the exception that it doesn't mention the vocoder use. Hasn't 50 noticed that whenever T-Pain, Snoop Dogg, or Lil' Wayne use the vocoder, they're talking about how much sex they have with women? That's because the vocoder makes you sound gay unless you're really careful. Like, Lil' Wayne literally says "No homo" at the beginning of "Lollipop," just in case. Instead, 50 says, "I done told ya boy, I'm a soldier boy, I've got no choice but to be a rider. I approach ya boy, with the toaster boy, get to point blank range and fire." Because apparently he doesn't care if we know he's gay.
(p.s. Lil' Wayne, saying "No homo" isn't really enough because we've all seen this.)
This post on fourfour documents the homoeroticism of 50's movie, Get Rich or Die Tryin'. And these two posts on Rod 2.0 find some very gay stuff in 50's autobiography.
Can we revisit "Ayo Technology" now?
I always thought the beginning (when 50 says, "So special! Unforgettable! 50 Cent! Just-in! Timbaland! God damn!") sounded really gay. But now I realize the whole thing is a duet between 50 and Justin about their relationship. They're tired of mediating their love through technology (like Lord Ewald and Thomas Edison in Tomorrow's Eve). They call each other "she" and "girl" a lot because they're just that camp.

I'm glad I waited this long to read this post. It's a masterpiece.
