11. "Party time, excellent, yeah Wayne's World/ Campbell's soup on the wrist, just call me Earl" - Lil Wayne, "Get High, Screw Da World"
the Blues Brothers homage in the "Whateva Man" video deserves an honorable mention, at least.
as much as Kanye quotes Anchorman, I'm sure he's referenced some SNL somewhere, although I can't remember any at the moment.

would EPMD's "the steve martin" qualify, seeing as he was practically an SNL regular during the 70s?!?

i was gonna post about the redman-piscopo JERSEY connection but i see that its been mentioned. piscopo and red are probably about similarly famous in jersey, actually.
― max, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 02:41 (sixteen years ago) link
steve martin x-post
A great song, but for the rules of this thread, no it doesn't qualify. Must specifically reference something that happened on SNL.
(note that my nod to Redman's Piscopo ref in "Da Goodness" isn't numbered since it has nothing to do with Piscopo on SNL specifically).
