people only mentioned in one rap song ever

I thought of that "there's three of us" line, but that's the Beatles, not McCartney proper.

"I'll play Brian Epstein and Pete Best your ass" (actually, I just made that one up)

fugees are good for this:

"if i lose control will send me to the penitentiary / such as alcatraz, or shot up like al hajj malik shabazz"

"Time after time, ask cyndi lauper/ boss, you don't want to fuck with my partners"

Original rude boy, never am I coy
You can be a shorty in my ill convoy
Not to come across as a thug or a hood
But hon, you got the goods, like madeline woods

"Take the dove from your battlefield son, fuck Pat Benatar"

Janet Reno comes to town collecting all the money
You stayed one day, then ran away, and started actin funny
She caught you down on 15th Ave., you tried to hide your trail
She found your ass and locked you up, now WHO can post no bail?

"take cover wit the radical, urban latino/no hip-hop connection with us and janet reno"

One shot, Two shot, Three shot, Four
Somebody shoulda stopped me from drinking any more
When I was sober that broad looked like Al Gore
Now she look a lot more like Demi Moore

Probably other refs for both, actually. Still, I like the combination.

"Like GG Allin I'm crazy ill"

Chino XL did a lot of name dropping - mostly recent deaths "I'm out like John Candy" stuff on his first album. But I'm not going back to listen to it.

I forget - have any rap songs ever mentioned God? Or Mafia heavies?

Compare the sound to another, and let's see
I slam shit up like Wayne Gretzky
- Diamond D

Ron Studda spin the wheel back like his name was Pat Sajak
on Wheel of Fortune.. that's how we keep it scorchin
- Grand Puba

Cause you're a nickel dime sucka, who hangs with Tommy Tucker
- EPMD

feel like pat sajak, cats ask if they can buy an e

youll sell everything includin the mannequin / they got a new bitch now you jennifer aniston

fuck pat sajak, never did nothin for a n*gga

how many murdered on your album, is that just for attention?
labels got yall like muppets so ima play jimmy henson

You should put this on a placard next to the museum exhibit.

are there any Obama lines yet

"My raps ignite the people like Obama" -- Common

huh - not exactly an answer I was hoping for

Chingo Bling talks about how he stole Demi Moore from Ashton Kutcher in "Ball Everywhere I Go".

"We don't vote - we vote for Oprah, Obama and Eric B" gfk

hahaha!

common drops obama on the "why" remix too (but he was actually ahead of his time there)

juelz calls himself the young obama on black republicans

its hardly the only mention but i love that pac mentions bob dole on 'how do u want it' which is supposed to be this care free party jam

paris - sheep to the slaughter

Who do the fightin' for these rich white folks, and they wars
No it ain't Drew Carey, Dennis Miller or stars
Fox News, Mike Savage, Bruce Willis or Rush
Won't be MSNBC, CNN or a Bush
Never Toby Keith, Hannity, O'Reilly or Clint
Ain't ClearChannel - know they ain't supportin' dissent
Ain't Blair, Kid Rock, or Tom Cruise or vows
Of James Woods, Rob Lowe, Tom Selleck or Powell
Not Arnold Schwarzenegger, he ain't gonna shoot, or
Ted Nuget cause in war the targets got weapons too
Ain't Cheney, Rumsfeld, Halliburton or Ridge
Or Ann Coulter, or Joseph Lieberman or the rich

Read an old magazine, check out a new dress
I'd be having conversations with Cornel West
Killer Mike don't give a damn if it's me ya ain't liking
The last great debate I had was with Michael Eric Dyson

xpost ^also mentions cruise and o'reily

love 'thats life'

You can follow or lead like Commander Picard
You can have +The Whole World+
Or be satisfied with the boulevard - Killer Mike

the "commander picard" thing has always bothered me :/

usedta play back then, now you all grown up like rudy huxtable

"we on a treadmill like OK GO"

I'll drop 'em in a minute
Like the dollaz
In my pocket, Speedy Gonzalez
Couldn't stop the way I spin it
I'm known for breakin' every speed limit
TLC - Switch (during a Left Eye rap)

Wu-Tang slang, I'll leave your headpiece hangin'
Bust this, I'm kickin' like Segall, out for justice
The roughness, yes, the rudeness, ruckus
Wu Tang Clan - Bring the Ruckus

.....so it would seem I can't spell (or spell check, even) Seagal. Sorry, all.

Sir Mix-A-Lot, National Anthem

The Pentagon had a plan for a rescue
They said intelligence never makes miscues
The thirty-first was a day of death
Lieutenant Colonel Higgins, you know the rest

G. Dep also shouted out Steven Seagal:

"I'm like, Seagal with the steel but 'Harder to Kill'"

one of the first songs i ever recorded had this lyric:

"Everybody's a critic like Robert Christgau. Please, you could get clobbered right now."

"PW Botha gets a gas face"

Homeboy throw in the towel/your girl got dicked by Ricky Powell.

"Height of Muggsy Bogues, complexion of a hockey puck"--phife

"you know i got rhymes like abe vigoda"

my supersonics leave you mute like maggie simpson

All my hos come off the track/Even Jackie Joyner's here

"I'm the Michael Schumacher of the Roc roster"

We dedicate this to cats that's been thuggin/Vinnie Paz get more hoes than Jim Duggan

All my hos come off the track/Even Jackie Joyner's here

nat turners wit burners, jackie joyner kersee
taught yall niggas how to rap reimburse me
-ghost on the jump off

yeah there's another jackie joyner one i'm trying to think of

ah found it...freeway, except he says it in his weird freeway kinda way so it sounds more like "jackie JERner"

Two words, Freeway, two letters, A-R
Turn y'all rap niggaz into two words, fast runners
Like Jackie Joyner, you better sleep with your burner
The heat skeet, blow a reef through ya car

Paul Barman has a lot of these:

'I make paintings based on grids just like Chuck Close"

"But I'm a lonely guy since my honeypie ran off with Ione Skye"

"My pissed off Jimbrowski
Turned three colors like Krzysztof Kieślowski"

"My name is Jane Pratt, before you jerk off on my head please pass me that rain hat"

"He backlashed my booty
like I was Susan Faludi"

We dedicate this to cats that's been thuggin/Vinnie Paz get more hoes than Jim Duggan
