people only mentioned in one rap song ever

"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.

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.

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.

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

Attackin' like Robitussin on a cough
So if you know like I know - step off!
- some BDK lyric

"Reagan is the prez but so was Harry Truman" - Biz Markie
(for the Truman ref, not Reagan)

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

yeah robitussin is all over:

'i got that tussin, that scummy, and that angel dust/ so pick yo high i will supply"

"I can't front, I love LA like Randy Newman"

when Craig Mack sez "girls scream like I'm Keith..."

which Keith was he talking about?

I bet Doom is the only cat to drop these guys, though...

hey say he's a cross between Adnan Khashoggi
and Sho Kosugi, he said your chain is sure dookie
The piece is like a mystery entity, ill spooky

"I knew this fat kid named D'Angelo Bailey"

(he's only ever been mentioned in "Brain Damage, right?)

probably keith sweat

"Say say say like Paul McCartney, not hardly"

(oops, Geto Boys had "fuck Paul and the rest of y'all")

yeh i suspected him (xps)

"Say say say like Paul McCartney, not hardly"

"Girls look at me like I'm part of The Beatles/ I'm not honey /But I could be your Paul McCartney/ Ebony and ivory into my jacuzzi"

on my day off/ with david sonnenberg i play golf

"There's three of us but we're not the BEATLES!"

Eminem and D12 must have quite a few

"Make him eat the barrel/Modern-day Pharaoh/Now he's zipped up like Leather Tuscadero" - Ice Cube

Not a DOOM fan, I guess, eh croupier?

more like I forgot how to spell his last name!

I thought of that "there's three of us" line, but that's the Beatles, not McCartney proper.

"I'll play Brian Epstein and Pete Best your ass" (actually, I just made that one up)

fugees are good for this:

"if i lose control will send me to the penitentiary / such as alcatraz, or shot up like al hajj malik shabazz"

"Time after time, ask cyndi lauper/ boss, you don't want to fuck with my partners"

Original rude boy, never am I coy
You can be a shorty in my ill convoy
Not to come across as a thug or a hood
But hon, you got the goods, like madeline woods

"Take the dove from your battlefield son, fuck Pat Benatar"

Janet Reno comes to town collecting all the money
You stayed one day, then ran away, and started actin funny
She caught you down on 15th Ave., you tried to hide your trail
She found your ass and locked you up, now WHO can post no bail?

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

One shot, Two shot, Three shot, Four
Somebody shoulda stopped me from drinking any more
When I was sober that broad looked like Al Gore
Now she look a lot more like Demi Moore

Probably other refs for both, actually. Still, I like the combination.

"Like GG Allin I'm crazy ill"

Chino XL did a lot of name dropping - mostly recent deaths "I'm out like John Candy" stuff on his first album. But I'm not going back to listen to it.

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

Compare the sound to another, and let's see
I slam shit up like Wayne Gretzky
- Diamond D

Ron Studda spin the wheel back like his name was Pat Sajak
on Wheel of Fortune.. that's how we keep it scorchin
- Grand Puba

Cause you're a nickel dime sucka, who hangs with Tommy Tucker
- EPMD

feel like pat sajak, cats ask if they can buy an e

youll sell everything includin the mannequin / they got a new bitch now you jennifer aniston

fuck pat sajak, never did nothin for a n*gga

how many murdered on your album, is that just for attention?
labels got yall like muppets so ima play jimmy henson

You should put this on a placard next to the museum exhibit.

are there any Obama lines yet

"My raps ignite the people like Obama" -- Common

huh - not exactly an answer I was hoping for

Chingo Bling talks about how he stole Demi Moore from Ashton Kutcher in "Ball Everywhere I Go".

"We don't vote - we vote for Oprah, Obama and Eric B" gfk

hahaha!

common drops obama on the "why" remix too (but he was actually ahead of his time there)

juelz calls himself the young obama on black republicans

its hardly the only mention but i love that pac mentions bob dole on 'how do u want it' which is supposed to be this care free party jam

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

Read an old magazine, check out a new dress
I'd be having conversations with Cornel West
Killer Mike don't give a damn if it's me ya ain't liking
The last great debate I had was with Michael Eric Dyson

xpost ^also mentions cruise and o'reily

love 'thats life'

You can follow or lead like Commander Picard
You can have +The Whole World+
Or be satisfied with the boulevard - Killer Mike
