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

Mr. Snrub, Thursday, 24 January 2008 23:52 (sixteen years ago) link

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

"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!!

and what, Friday, 25 January 2008 00:31 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 25 January 2008 08:10 (sixteen years ago) link

(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!")

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

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

Tuomas, Friday, 25 January 2008 11:18 (sixteen years ago) link

"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.

Mark G, Friday, 25 January 2008 11:21 (sixteen years ago) link

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

so not worth it

"Bringing more blues to brothers than jon belushi and dan ackroyd" - Chino XL.

Several other Belushi's out there, but this is the only case I found where Ackroyd gets love.

da croupier, Friday, 25 January 2008 14:41 (sixteen years ago) link

usually belushi's coke OD is what gets acknowledged

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.

Not a DOOM fan, I guess, eh croupier?

The way he take no prisoners and show no pity
It's how son became a big man from a Black boy
To name names, a really big fan of Dan Aykroyd
He feel they need to give him his own dance
This his only chance to shoot the gift like a lone glance
