people only mentioned in one rap song ever

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

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
