Trivia:

• Thugnificent often uses the phrase “no homo”, which is a phrase coined by New York rapper Cam’ron. It is used to erase possible misconception about the person’s sexuality when saying something that could be misconstrued as gay. For example, when Flonominal gets fired and walks away, Thugnificent yells “I love you man….. no homo”.
• The Scenes in which Thugnificent shouts out Damn,Damn,DAMN is a reference to the closing moments of an episode of Good Times where James died and Florida Evans has finally accepted the fact that her Husband is really gone.
• Sgt. Gutta is a parody of teenage rapper Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em. His song “Crank That (Artichoke)” and its accompanying dance is a reference to Soulja Boy’s smash hit “Crank That (Soulja Boy)”.
• Sgt. Gutta’s feud with the “old” rapper Thugnificent is a reference to the real-life feud Soulja Boy had with rapper Ice-T. The two also traded internet videos to further their beef.
• “Mo Bitches Mo Problems”, Thugnificent’s latest album, is a play on the name of The Notorious B.I.G.’s single “Mo Money Mo Problems”.
• The episode’s title references Thugnificent’s first appearance in the series in the episode “The Story of Thugnificent”, where MTV aired a documentary about Thugnificent called Rags to Bitches.
• In the scene where Thugnificent is selling crack, one of the characters trying to buy from him is similar to Tyrone Biggums, a crack addict that Dave Chappelle portrays on Chappelle’s Show. Charlie Murphy, a regular on Chappelle’s Show, was listed as a guest star in the episode credits. He does the voiceovers for Ed Wun
