* BrokenAesop: The movie parodies the broken Aesop of gangster films like ''Film/Scarface1983'' and ''Film/NewJackCity'' in a music video called "A Gangsta's Life Is Not Fun". Meaning, the point of the films are to show how being a ruthless criminal and selling drugs is wrong, and yes the villains do pay the price for their actions in the end. However, 90 percent of the films shows them being awesome beforehand. Which results in them [[DracoInLeatherPants having a lot of fans]] and the message of the films being missed, entirely.
--> '''Ice Cold''': I'm the G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. like Scarface bitch I'm a superstar. Revered by all, though I am the villain, gain more juice by the others I'm killing. Profiling and styling, drive a fly ride and hoes just pile in. I make gangsta money, cause I'm gangsta bold. Fuck gangsta bitches, wearing gangsta clothes. And I kill with will of steel for thrills, another way to pay bills. I'm the boy wonder, god of thunder, wrong move and I'll put you under. I'm notorious. Stay in the top-self clothes, stay fucking the top-shelf hoes. Because I'm the gangsta they call number one... but don't try this at home kids, a Gangsta's life not fun.

* MistakenForProfound: Ton Def states, "Because when you take a bus, you get there". His fellow musicians think it's gibberish, but the producer is deeply impressed with this sage wisdom.
* OhCrap: When Tasty finds Ice in bed with his girlfriend, "Aw, shit!" is the reaction of everyone in the room.
* SleepsWithEveryoneButYou:
--> '''Nina Blackburn''': "What, if any, is the difference between a ho and a bitch?"\\
'''Tone Def''': "A ho fucks everybody".\\
'''Tasty Taste''': "Right, but a bitch fucks everybody except you".
* YouNoTakeCandle: PlayedForLaughs. A video is shown with an attractive, Asian singer with an impressively booming voice, but when she is interviewed, she can barely speak a word of English. The real singer, an overweight, unattractive woman, then confronts her. This was a parody of the video for "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)", which also featured a beautiful woman who it later came out did not do the original singing.
