I guess the frozen cat reference relates to Glover's "Rubin and Ed". Which I haven't seen.

Ethan, can you restart this thread so it's about people mentioned in one rap song ever and not mostly a depository for shitty pop culture references that have probably appeared in more than one rap song.

(that wasn't directed at you J.S.... it's about the way these threads always turn out. Like the "words only mentioned in one song" list and people were all just shitting out "banana!")

Has Robitussin ever made it to a rap lyric? It seems like it should.

Okay, what about this one:
"I like rhymin' like Mascis my beats are like molasses sweet and slow like Jackie Onassis with Alzheimer's, social climbers slip on my diarrhea MCs sound the same, like onomatopoeia."
I'm pretty sure Jackie Onassis has between mentioned somewhere else, but not this Mascis dude. I myself didn't know who he was before hearing the name in this song and searching the net to find out what the hell Mike Ladd was talking about there. (At first I thought he said "masses".)

Hugh Grant is also referenced in the track "for liking the sugar brown" "like fucking dangelo" (which for a sec I thought meant they were suggesting he fucked d'angelo). But Nas says he's "gonna surprise you like Hugh Grant in 8 1/2 weeks" in "Blindfold Me" which is either a confused, confused reference to Mickey Rourke in 9 1/2 weeks or more likely a reference to the movie Nine Months (YEARS after it came out!), which reaffirms Kelis' claim in some interview that she and Nas sit around watching movies like Best In Show most of the time.
― da croupier, Friday, 25 January 2008 14:48 (sixteen years ago) link
ok actually re-reading the verse it IS a fucked up 9 1/2 weeks reference but it would be great if he felt the need to bring up a 90s preggers movie when knocking up Kelis.
