200 Rap Songs That Reference "Saturday Night Live"

i think you can tell that piscopo is the type of dude that redman would want to hang out with

i'm sure his screen door is also dangling off its hinges and he still plays atari lynx, too

16. Redman - "I'm A Bad..."

"I'm a wild and crazy guy! No lie!"

das efx, who also referenced piscopo, were produced by erick sermon, as was redman.

the erick sermon joe piscopo connection???

erick and piscopo making dollars

Piscopo was like the most famous actor from Jersey when Red was growing up, duh.

i have a feeling go piscopo also pushes a suzuki samurai now

17. That Lyrics Born song with the Stuart Smalley chorus

haha GO PISCOPO

Also, he's a lot easier to rhyme than "Tim Kazurinsky"

i keep the pinky stinky like tim kazurinsky

Red would have obviously gone with "buttinski"

and thus are the differences between myself and redman most clearly illustrated

get hyphy like Julia Louis-Dreyfee

sorry

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.

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).

Oh shit... how could I forget--two for the price of one in this one!:

18. DJ Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince - "Let's Get Busy Baby"

"Now isn't that special?" Why ain't you widdit?
You'll be my only girl, "Yeah, that's the ticket"

There's a rap-metal band named Presence with a song called "Van Down By the River".

Has any rapper quoted "Lazy Sunday" back?

Ice Cube, "Smoke Some Weed": "West coast motherfucker / George Bush, George Clinton, Bill Clinton, Chris Farley, Chris Rock, Bob Marley..."

20. "It doesn't have to be Saturday Night for Young MC to get Live"
young mc - "i come off"

This could have something to do with some of the Piscopo fixations mentioned upthread:

I am deeply dissappointed that this thread includes Masta Ase's "Saturday Night Live" but not the BDK song that he jacked the hook from, "Get Into It"

I'm going to add a sixth El-P post to this

22. El-P - "Accidents Don't Happen"

"PAAAAAIN CAAAAAAVE"

Can Weezy retire the Wayne's World line?

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"

sad things is back then this was probably the only one

23. "I'm raw like sushi/Belushi's spirit probably is with me" Slaine (La Coka Nostra), "That's Coke"

I'm renumbering these to disqualify the two posts that only mention cast members but not SNL specifically or SNL bits

19. The new Kanye song that has him doing the church lady "Satan... Satan... Satan..." bit

23. Kanye West - "Power"
"Fuck SNL and the whole cast!"
