I'll skate on your crew/ like Mario Lemieux

"I use to run base like Juan Pierre," Jay-Z

"hit mics like ted koppel/rifle expert/let off the eifell/burn a flag in the grass it's spiteful" - ghost

Dirty alone I never do what the pope says

HOW COULD ONE CHANDRA BE SO LEVY

Reagan is the prez but I voted for Shirley Chisholm

"Y'all Danny DeVitos/ small n*ggas" -Foxy Brown, "I'll Be"

"i'm a wizard like chris whitney" - ali

im gonna stop doing sports ones cuz this thread'll get real boring real quick

"st. louis is the truth like sojourner/ don't need a burner we learn from ike turner" - murphy lee (i'm sure i'm wrong about this one tho)

sojourner truth or ike turner? both mentioned like 8 million times

BEATIN MOTHERFUCKERS LIKE IKE BEAT TINA

"I ball and you're just Eric Dampier, dawg."

lil wayne sports refs are too easy

BEATIN MOTHERFUCKERS LIKE IKE BEAT TINA

"Beat the odds like Ike beat on his first wife" being my personal fave.

"I'm like Federico Fellini/ I'm like AC/DC, dirty deeds done cheaply"

hitting a woman + misguided confidence at gambling... is this the most dom passantino lyric ever?

Biggie: "Told the bitch 'Gimme yo' scarf'"

"the way kathie lee needed regis that's the way i need jesus" - rhymefest lol

'had to be liquor / made you wanna battle me quicker / soon as i wrecked the flow you left the show like kathie lee gifford' - king dom

mixtape for after you get hardsonned = me in this thread

Kodanshi

to be fair i dont expect you to be familar with freestyle verses by copywrite's weed carriers

pretty sure copywrite carries his own weed

shirley chisolm's been mentioned a bunch of times, not even including method man's "clinton is the prez, i STILL voted for shirley chisolm"

there's gotta be a bunch of cam'ron ones

"My dream team wrestle for cheese like Eric Bischoff"

copywrite & king dom ghostface freestyle

http://www.zshare.net/audio/6851148c499a2c/

kathie lee ref @ 3:30

"Spittin' lyrics in your face like Patrick Viera at Niel Ruddock."

OK, how the fuck does Snrub know Blak Twang lyrics?

snrub= quality over quantity

"I'll stop the world and melt with your mother/Got a cat in the cooler, ask Crispin Glover"

Justin Warfield on Bomb The Bass's Brain Dead. He mentions Jim Jarmusch at one point too. And Charlie Bucket, and Veruca Salt.

r.a. the rugged man did a movie with crispin glover!!

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

canibus:
and they barbecued birds to the bone
they burned incense in a buckminster fuller type dome

jackie chan... and that bitch macgyver

i assume wayne's not the first one to "angela lansbury," but he's the one i've heard.

Jordan = kathie lee is a no go

In a Lex watchin Kathie Lee and Regis

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!")

Ask Him why some people got to live in a trailer, cuss like a sailor
I paint a picture with the pen like Norman Mailer
--Talib Kweli - "Get By"

"I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies and hypothesis
can't define how I be droppin these mockeries."

Inspectah Deck on Wu-Tang's "Triumph".

"Niggas call me young black Socrates/West indies/Bitch drop to your knees"

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".)

"Test the change cuz of the fantasies they try to feed us
Under the bridge drumming for flea an anthony kiedis
I ran from elitist who got the truth confused
It's the manphibian and the one roots manuva"

-- charlie tuna on "join the dots" by roots manuva

so not worth it

Elroy Cohen - who the hell is that? And why'd he get the Gas Face?

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

reading James Sturm's great piece about pitching gags to the New Yorker on Slate this week reminded me of Paul Barman's "She almost shrank off when I said "Take your top-tank off," I can draw a thousand times better than Robert Mankoff"

From the new Danny Brown

Cause bitch I'm Frankie Lymon
Heath Ledger hyped in a jacuzzi doing that John Belushi

Willing to proven wrong though

Akon:
Her body's not real
It looks like Crumb drew her

me n my girl'll run like Luke n Laura

george strait, right?

Geto Boys did it too

oh word

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

just saw this, dying

:)

a possible two-fer? A.C. Green and Ben Vereen at the end of Dr. Dre's "Big Egos"?

A.C. Green probably not due to punchlines about his virginity

e.g. You know what's a crazy thing? \ Some girls'll make you wait longer than A.C. Green (http://ohhla.com/anonymous/misc/r_and_b/dg_remix.jam.txt)

wow. I never knew that about him, weird.

I've always thought he was a cool dude, the only guy I liked on a team I otherwise detested (2000 Lakers)

Not a person but I think T.I. Is the only person to rap about the stuffed animal named Teddy Ruxpin.
"teddy ruxpin nigga, I'm a bear."

guess who this is

Sitting on a truffet, puffing on the best cut buds
Trying to get butt from Miss Muffet
Me and Teddy Ruxpin sturring up a ruckus
Egging all the houses, smashing all the pumpkins

luriqua

i'm like grizzly adams with a bear / any n*gga out there want the free, he better come prepared

— No Limit rapper Freedom, ca. 1998

nevermind, meth got that one: "Even Grizzly Adams couldn't bear" XD

"Check it out yo, I smile like Groucho Marx"

- Fu-Schnickens feat. Shaq, "What's Up Doc?"

Opposite of this, people you would never have expected to be mentioned more than once, but are:

He was referenced by Richie Rich in Tupac Shakur's song "Rather Be Ya Nigga", in the line, "Smoke blunts, but leave them stunts up to Super Dave," in the Ice Cube song "Wicked", with the line "We'll have to break his ass up like Super Dave," in the A Tribe Called Quest song "The Chase, Part II" with the lyric, "We flippin' on niggas like we Super Dave," in the Cool Calm Pete song "Lost" with the line "You(r) fake stunts that's strictly for Super Dave". On Fat Joe's song "Bet Ya Man Can't (Triz)," Cuban Link raps, "We do maneuvers like Super Dave, always with a group of babes" and as well as in the line "At the hot tubs making a gang of waves, Hoe in the cunt doing stunts like Super Dave" in the song "She's Just A Freak" by The Luniz.

“hittin mothers and their daughters similar to Woody Allen”

not a person, but I always chuckle when I hear Kool Keith mention "Inside Herman's Head" on "One Two, One Two"

Obviously not the only song, but Big Daddy Kane was probably the first to mention Don Cheadle, shouting him out back in 1994

Went from the station straight to Orange Julius
