About Us

Welcome to GUY CODE, the official blog of MTV2's "Guy Code" series and your online destination for all things dude, including—but not limited to—irreverent commentary on sports, hip-hop and ladies. Stay awhile and flex your manhood.

It all started with "Yo Mama" (well, not yours specifically). The age old "snap" in rap songs where dissing someone's moms was the epitome of placing the last nail in the beef coffin. Then, thanks to the "American Pie" franchise, "Yo Mama" became a "MILF" (no doubt due to Pilates and wheatgrass). The joke evolved from calling mamas fat to calling them for a late-night creep. However, over the past few years, being a motherlover turned into being a girlfriend snatcher. No longer do rappers want the mother, they want the girlfriend, significant other, "special friend," whatever. Find out which rappers are thieving for some O.P.P.

Horrorcore is easily one of the scariest hip-hop subgenres of all time. Described as horror-themed raps, most categorically "horrorcore" acts these days are just labeled extremely weird or utterly terrifying (shout out to Waka Flocka Flame). The game's done changed, but just in time for Halloween, a trip down memory lane is very necessary. While some of these demons on the mic have faded into obscurity, others are still on the rise. No matter who they are or what they've done, they're still f***ing scary in their own special ways. Read More...

If Diggy Simmons were a dinosaur, he'd be a Swagosaurus Rex. Every generation has a style icon, and it's clear Rev. Run's middle son is vying for that spot with Millennials.

"I remember my first day of kindergarten, not letting my mom pick out my clothes, so it's literally been forever that I've been loving fashion," Diggy says in Clutch's interview. With the Scream Tour under way and his debut album on the horizon, Diggy chops up his seven rules of fashion for our readers. You don't need wallets as thick as his, but a good imagination is key.

A rapping foodie sounds like he'd be annoying, but in Action Bronson's case it works. The Queens-bred MC is hip-hop's newest chef--an actual chef, unlike Raekwon the Chef (though he kind of sounds like Ghostface)--and incorporates his culinary expertise in his rhymes. Resembling a white Rick Ross in stature (and beard) if Rick Ross were a lumberjack and wore Crocs, Bronson name-drops truffles, Peking duck and yakitori, coupled with song titles like "Jerk Chicken" and "Forbidden Fruit." In honor of Bronson’s lyrical gluttony, here are some of his best food references on record. Read More...

There's a thing called a poetic license. Much like a driver's license, it's often mistreated, abused and mishandled. In the driving world, licenses can be suspended or taken away. Unfortunately, poetic licenses are never officially revoked. In the long journey to the top, some rappers get caught up in the hoopla of choosing an interesting name, shoot for the stars and end up in the gutter. As we target these young gunners and their awful names, we're not just here to hate--we're here to say it's never too late to change your bad monikers (but mostly we're hating).

What's in a name? Calling Too $hort something other than Too $hort won't make him grow five inches...but he still has to walk around with that name every day. The world of hip-hop is packed with confusing names. There are Young's and Lil's who are old and big, acronyms that make no sense, names written backward, nonsensical symbols and jacked-up spellings of dead philosophers. Then, just when you get used to a name, it changes. For example, Tity Boi now goes by 2Chainz and Mos Def will soon be Yasiin. Rappers outgrow names. So why have the following seven performers not updated theirs?
