Michael Strahan, the Hetero Rapper




So apparently everyone's favorite gap-toothed defensive end is not who we thought he was. Joining the list of many celebrities who have appeared onstage with the L.A. hair metal cover band Metal Skool, our boy Strahan decides to add his own spin on Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me". After an awful rendition of the song with A-listers Ryan Cabrera and Pauly Shore, Strahan announces he is going to do the "Run DMC version". Apparently that translates to setting hip-hop back about 30 years with rapping that carries as much street cred as Ellen DeGeneres. It's a long video but entertaining nonetheless. If you want to skip to Strahan's mesmerizing lyrical display, it's around the 7 minute mark. At the end he takes his jacket off and throws it into the crowd. Ladies...?

The band makes a lot of comments at the start and end of the clip (dare I say "jokes") about being gay. Interestingly, Strahan didn't seem to mind.
