Tales (2017-2019)

In 2017, legendary song producer and constant rap song shoutout recipient Irv Gotti created a sort of hip-hop Twilight Zone called Tales, for BET. Essentially, the show took a big rap or R&B hit, then tried to craft an episode of television around it. No, they weren't music videos, they were fictional stories often only loosely based off of a different song. For example, N.W.A's iconic anthem "F*** Tha Police" takes place in a race-swapped world, where whites are poor and explode in anger when the largely black police force kills one of their own. Fetty Wap's catchy tune "Trap Queen" becomes the story of a couple who take over a nightclub, then start selling drugs to make even more money. Like the song would imply, it's not long until the woman becomes a drug kingpin dominating the trade. For three seasons BET presented these stories, with songs ranging from Jay Z's "99 Problems" to Nelly's "Hot in Here" all getting the Tales treatment. We don't tell no tales when it comes to the hunky Matthew Noszka. We'd nosh on his blond bod after we see him cuddling with his chick shirtless. America's bad boy Chet Hanks joins him shirtless to show off a beefcake body that is worthy of applause in the same episode, while there is a controversial scene featuring Brody Jenner getting lynched soon after. Where was Kendall Jenner with the Pepsi to make sure cooler heads prevailed? If you prefer your fellas to have a bit more melanin, Demetrius Shipp Jr. is very ship-able when he stands around shirtless, even if his black chest isn't as muscular as Thomas Q. Jones' as he lies in bed. In bed with black men? Oh, the tales Mr. Man could tell! Beyond those guys, there's Michael Curiel wearing a collar and only a thong as part of some kinky sex thing. Damn, those Tales would turn even a straight dude into a fairy! Throw in Skyh Black doing some ballet in tight pants and more, and you'll be begging to get some tail after watching Tales!
