people only mentioned in one rap song ever

mekhi phifer

my team are life stoppers watch me split ya life up
like mekhi phifer in the movie clockers

- black rob

Kind of a stretch, but Pat McCarran and Francis Walter (of the McCarran-Walter Act) are namechecked in Jello Biafra's outro to Ice-T's Freedom of Speech.

damn, shows how much i know about rap

got 'draulics on my golf cart, fuck a six fo
knew a hoe like gonzo, witta big nose

- j-zone

are you holding out on previously unseen soulstrut graemlins ????

My knowledge of rap lyrics is very slim compared with most of this thread's participants, but it's kind of fun to just Google "[SOMEONE'S NAME] site:ohhla.com" and see what comes up.

Ayyo, we're not to be fucked with
Like a hooker with the AIDS virus til they try this
Heyo my flow is fatter than that chick Elvira's breasteses

I admit to not being able to come up with any examples right now, but I swear I've heard Elvira in another rap song at some point.

I'm rock, I'm roll, I'm Nat King Cole
Shostakovic drownin' in a fishbowl
[...]
I'ma a book, a poem, by Leonard Cohen
[...]

We played a little blackjack at the casino
The man dealing cards looked like Brian Eno

- Earthling (debut album; can't remember the titles; probably lots more on it)

Your search - elvira site:ohhla.com - did not match any documents.

I'm kind of astounded by that.

ctrl-f "skiles"= text not found

ha, I was just about to post that phife line

lol at a lot of this thread btw, esp. at the idea that the fugees are the only rappers ever to mention malcolm x

Benjamin Bannister possibly?

Stay humble stay low blow like Hootie / True pimp niggaz spend no dough on the booty

Oops, I think I mean Benjamin Banneker. (Drawback of oral tradition!)

oliver wang
What's Jean Grae's beef with Oliver Wang?

Has David Sonenberg been mentioned apart from Wyclef playing golf with him on his day off?

the first half of this thread is unbearable

Pervis Ellison

DMC namedrops Peter Lorre in Kurtis Blow's "8 Million Stories"

From the same (great) song: "my gosh, my gosh, I'm Juliette Binnoche"

lol

player haters be givin me harsh looks/but i'm just trying to sell records like garth brooks -- big L

thanks for hipping me to "Earthling". i no longer feel bad about completely ignoring all that ukhh that neil kukococopufflani talks about so earnestly

man, i want to retroactively ban J0rdan S. for how fucking terrible he is on this thread

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

tbf he started listening to rap in 200x

i really sucked at this

"niggas hear me and take more notes than connie chung"

?

as in, is that one?

"hater commentators, call em pat buchanans" - curren$y

oh shit, i remembered that wrong, it's big krit

"this is hiphop/ it ain't pop like kylie minogue" - black thought

i'd say William Cooper except I can't be sure that A. Nas didn't rap about him more than once and B. that there aren't Illuminati-influenced rappers that mentioned him

It's a new sherriff in town, and it ain't Reggie Hammond

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

classic post

Toussaint L'Ouverture in "These Dreams" by Defari??

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

bruce willis gets fucktons of mentions in a lot of work.

Lemonade was a popular drink and in still is
I get more props den stunts den Bruce Willis
A poet like Langston Hughes and can't lose when I cruise
Out on the expressway
Leavin the Bodega I say "suave"
Premier's got more beats den barns got hay
Clips are inserted into my gun
So I can take the money, neva have ta run

(gangstarr, DWYCK)

i've def heard numerous die hard references in other songs.

Now I'm not barely Alvin Ailey
But I make fly dance music daily

Tech N9Ne - "Mental Giant"

It went to my head like it's my first time
To be cocky, i’m just a giant when I burst rhyme
My leg is humongous, is ya’ll’s vs. mine?
Steppin to mine, I can’t stop my leg like Robert Klein

Of all the goons, I'm gonna guess that only some dude is old enough to get that one

Also btw rev, Alvin Ailey ref in Masta Ace's iconic "Me & The Biz"

also ATCQ's "Lyrics to Go"

i was wrong about that one
