Cultural references

  • The title is a reference to Gangsta rap
  • The rapper Alcatraaz is a parody of Southern Rapper Ludacris due to his ecstatic character, faint resemblance to Luda, and gangsta like tendencies (such as when he said he was going to go "murder his enemies")
  • Similarly, Queen Booty Shaykah is a parody of Queen Latifah.
  • The clock necklace seen in the footage of the rap concert is a part of Flava Flav's iconic stage costume. However, he does not set it to the actual time, and instead sets it to 3, 6, 9 or 12 o'clock to represent something (for example, 12 o'clock is "straight up").
  • The jokes about Kirk getting trailer time with Springfield's craziest chicks is a reference to the many jailed serial killers (such as Susan Smith) who have placed ads looking for a partner and gotten thousands of responses.
  • Chief Wiggum calls Bart "Bratty Hearst" after Bart asks Wiggum not to arrest Milhouse's dad. This name is a reference to Patty Hearst, the newspaper heiress who was kidnapped in 1974 and who eventually bonded with her captors, famously helping them in the armed robbery of a bank.
  • When Santa's Little Helper barks, the TV shows a Spanish-language version of Wheel of Fortune.

Trivia

  • TV Guide initially reported that Dave Chapelle would guest star in this episode.
  • Early reports said that Bart had recorded a song with 50 Cent, but no such song appears in the episode.
