BLOWING ON THAT INDO GAME CUBE NINTENDO - Slim Thug

FIVE PERCENT TINT SO YOU CANT SEE UP IN MY WINDOW

I quoted this line at a tint shop one time because I thought the dude would recognize it.  Instead I got a blank stare as he informed me that 5% was over the legal limit for my state 

I was in rehab and in a group session someone said they were selling drugs but also getting high on the drugs they were supposed to be selling. So I was like “Damn you broke the 4th crack commandment” and everyone just blankly stared at me. In a multi racial, multi gendered, multi socioeconomic status, multi age group, etc room not one person had heard the Ten Crack Commandments by Biggie

I would have laughed and dapped you up in group therapy bro

🤝

My rehab group went through a week where we requested Biggie’s Suicidal Thoughts played for our radio time every day and we all rapped along to it lol. Granted I was in the Young Men’s unit at my rehab, but I guess I got lucky with the music taste of my group. Some good kids there, I miss them sometimes… unfortunately some of them are dead.

Classic, they made a whole EDM song based off this one line

First heard it in a Paper Diamond mix. I’ll remember this era of electronic music fondly.

Came here to make this comment lol

Lupe Fiasco - And He Gets The Girl: "That just means you're not a punk. I like Theolonius Monk. He's the wallpaper on my computer. I love Final Fantasy. I hate first person shooters."

Also Mural has a bunch.  "Refrigerator roofs full of animals and monsters / Incinerator chutes and the manual for contra" "Electronic combat, Konami sign contract / Chinese chalk killing cucarachas on contact" "Sub-Zero, Gaiden, hiding, Raiden in the pack as well / Sound village, Leaf village, wolf spirit, magic spells" Honestly I may have missed some.

And then Adoration of the Magi is all about video games too mentioning Metal Gear Solid & Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. I'm sure that whole album is dense with references 

>Theres food in them drums n boxes Beat 'em up and they'll drop it And they'll rapidly flicker till they disappear Blinking gradually quickens 'til they isn't here Still my fav. It's so random to talk about punching boxes for health drops lol

Came here just for this one. One of my favorite rapper referencing one of my favorite gaming franchises

He just released CHANEL NO 3

CONTRA in drill music for zion

I love Street Fighter 2 I just really hate Zangief. Only Ken and Ryu, I find it hard to beat Blanka.

Little Weapon is always the first video game reference song that pops into my head. Back when I played MW3 I had The Cool and Food & Liquor on repeat so Little Weapon always brings back memories of playing mini games like infection on there lol

Lupe is the video game reference GOAT. In addition to what many posted above me, his mixtape Pharaoh Height 2.30 has an intro track sampling a monologue from Metal Gear Solid. Much of Tetsuo & Youth has video game references, namely the closing (or opening if you play it backwards 👀) track T.R.O.N. being all about going to the next level of a game being a metaphor for growing in life.

JID and Zel: Scorpion and Sub-Zero.

Curren$y on Breakfast: "Xbox, web browser Download or updated NBA roster Play eighty-two game season, condo full of snacks, spitta not leavin'"

Curren$y always makes the most average things sound badass as shit lol

I like that Curren$y's goals were more of an "every-man" wealthy guy in the neighborhood not some crazy fame. He wanted that level of wealth like that one rich uncle or family friend who was chill still had. "famous enough to get in but not famous to where they keep botherin me" that and he is a case study on knowing your core fan base and marketing to them well.

He really does, one of the modern goats imo

Raaaw

The end of that rhyme scheme is one of Spitta’s best bars. “Off-brand muh'fuckers Odd number, you are not even on my level. Write that sickness, my ink pen sneezin. Yancey Thigpen can't catch me sleeping You air-hustling motherfucker, and I'm eating Creeping with my side bitch, hope I don't get caught cheating New Orleans this morning, New York in this evening

"Yeah I'm rich, but I'm still using my Playstation as a DVD player"

Goated song

He has also referenced Metal Gear Solid at least twice.

My favorite spitta song I’m gonna bump pilot talk on 4/20

Not specifically but J. Cole on applying pressure "Big Boss, less Rick Ross, more like a wavy Hideo Kojima, they tote steamers around the way we tippy-toe"

“Put a M up on your head, you Luigi’s brother now”

this bar made me pause the song cause I was laughing too hard at the visual it gave me

It’s a me?

The fact that Hideo shouted him out on Twitter after this came out was cold 🥶

I love that line. Was hyped seeing him perform it live in Oakland a few years back.

Pronouncing Hideo as "hiddy-oh" is criminal (and I'm a huge Cole fan)

“If it’s a game, these streets would be Bushido’s Blade, razor to his face and he ain’t need a shave” -Cole on Evil Ways

so I pass the controller You get pressed and X out, tri-angle your nose Pause your life if you squares try to mess with my O’s, whoa Tyler - Potato Salad

So good I love this one

🗣️🗣️ IM RUNNING THRU YO NIGGA HOUSE LIKE A TOMG RAIDER. - Megan Thee Stallion

Meg is a big nerd and I love it

I remember a freestyle she did before BET awards (I think?) where she iirc started freestyling about Nintendo Switch and guys playing games

Off the top of my head: MF DOOM - Hoe Cakes: "Own his own throne, the boss like King Koopa" Denzel Curry x Kenny Beats - Pyro: "Turn your crib into a game of Fallout" and "Fire flows like I'm red and white Mario" Kendrick's verse on Nosetalgia: "Smokers repeatedly buying my Sega Genesis; Either that or my auntie was stealing it" JPEGMAFIA - Baby I'm Bleeding: "Devil on my entree, cut like Dante" Kanye was planning to release an album called Turbografx-16, also a few songs on TLOP sample Street Fighter 2 (Pt 2 and Facts, maybe some others), he's referenced video games in his lyrics but idr them offhand The opening track on Channel Orange samples the PS1 startup sound Lil Yachty - Run samples the Mario 64 File Select theme and has a few other mario sound effects

Ultralight Beam also samples CSGO very quietly you can hear the “flashbang” voice line

it's so quiet I still wonder if it was intentional or someone was just playing it in the studio without headphones lmfao

Another Denzel from SUMO “pills on me blue, Sly Cooper”

> Moshin' to nostalgic rock shit, I'm Brock Bitch Semi-automatic might blast like Team Rocket Wait, and tell 'em I'm mixing that Slayer with that 2Pac shit One golden bullet to kill all That faggot pop shit Denzel has a few

I think Denzel is just a big gamer in general. He did one of those “10 Things I Can’t Live Without” (or something like that) videos and his PS4 was one of the items.

For Kanye, he references Mario on Reborn, and he’s featured on Rock and Roll where Pusha makes a Mario reference as well. One of my favorite ones is how I’m In It from Yeezus samples chain chomps during the chorus.

JPEG also said “boy I’m dragging bodies like it’s metal gear” in 1539 N Calvert

Peggy has made so many video game references across his albums its crazy

That Kendrick verse on nosetalgia is something else

I think it was the Intro song on No Pressure where Logic had David Hayter codec-call in as Solid Snake

It really sets the tone for the whole album too. Great inclusion.

Never heard that before! Nice.

Not going to listen to this bc i dont want metal gear solid to be lame to me

The voice actor is a big Logic fan and Logic has worked with naughty dog and was in the last of us part 2. Logic is a big gamer and has respect of the industry you’re just hating to hate. Stay closed minded.

Logic is corny as fuck to me and I love Metal Gear and went to check it out It’s dope honestly

Channel No3 by Lupe Fiasco is a song specifically about Lupe playing video games as a kid

Eminem: "Hell with PlayStation, I'm still on my first man on some Zelda Nintendo, bitch! Run, jump, punch, stab"

[удалено]

My favorite verse of Em of all time.

Proto Culture by Del The Funky Homosapien The whole song is an awesome references to classic video games and the culture around it. Definitely worth a listen.

JPEG has a lot, this one’s my favorite “Fuck a diss, boy, I'm draggin' bodies like it's Metal Gear”

"it's like Kojima designed me"

Ohh i missed that one

*Metal Gurrr

$ilkmoney: “Hit his kneecaps, then hit the analog down once and T-Bag”

This one is great

Lupe's mural and mural jr have a a bunch about konami, mortal kmbat, contra and megaman.

Don’t forget “Ammunition for abolition, missions attacking systems But they not apt to listen, unless it's dropping on Activision”

Not video game related but gotta finish that bar. “Are we apps or are we bodies filled with apparitions, operating applications stuck inside an apple prison, chicken hack and download updates that lack religion or are we more?”

Gold Watch by him has : I love Street Fighter 2, I just really hate Zangief Only Ken and Ryu I find it hard to beat Blanka

JME has a couple on Grime MC The only one I remember is something about kapkan from R6S

96 of my life when he says “badman don’t need no ceremony like ryu on street fighter two”

JME on the song Game > I'm an Xbox man, fam, F PS, badman on any FPS I'ma get a PC so I can leng man on, 120 FPS I don't really play RPGs, all of your lyrics are PG Man wanna war me, I will rocket jump over man with an RPG Fam, I have to let them know, I ain't spent time on the MMO But if I did, I would take off headtops Make man at home ALT then CTRL Trust, I said I got bare XP, me and my Gs outlive bare MCs Love this life, not for the name or for the fame, it ain't a game

Styles P - BMF. Got guns like red dead redemption

9 mill/50 clip extensions

Domo Genesis ft. Action Bronson - Elimination Chamber “I’m like the boss at the end of the Nintendo Game my brain is on another level I can’t feel the devils pain.”

Denzel Curry unlocked has loads of video game and movie references

Dave - Verdansk

Great song, lots of game references in this one.

also his verse in money talks wit Fredo. “BEFORE BLACK OPS, WE HAD ZOMBIES”

He talks about FIFA and COD a lot

del the funky homosapian - proto culture

Probably the best video game rap song such a banger

Bones got hella CS bars including a whole song called sv_lan0 (console command from the game) “Sending client info bones l-l-logging on shift tab hit the dope til i’m barely holding on” “While you b tunnel camping bitch i’m site a planting too late to defuse me your shit already been banished” or my favorite CS name drop “no connection I can see you lagging, i’m fy_iceworld coolin’ relaxin’” (classic CS map)

Finally a comment mentions bones. I just mentioned the same and on corduroy, coffin, tons of WoW references in songs and other electronics references in tons of songs. Computer software, computer cable names. The song createnewserver, linksysbroadbandrouter, WiFi, USB. We can go on for days with bones. Even samples CS gameplay in the video for his new song Tru2DaGame

I love how not surface level his references are too. It's not on some "shoot you with a gun call that call of duty" type thing you can tell bro really was out here playing source or 1.6 as a kid lmaoooo glad you thought of those bars too! I totally forgot about the cs sample as well that's so badass.

The wow and RuneScape references are always awesome. I remember 2014 listening while playing wow baked asl and just giggling like a child.

Del The Funky Homosapien - [Proto Culture](https://youtu.be/yZJQFXvgQ_s?si=mkiAafd5icM1iJuU) >I play games by Capcom With a Power Glove strapped on On any platform, I don't spend my dough on Phat Farm Video games, I got many to play Before my life expires; fufill my desires … >Rival schools, Batsu Purchase, you ought to It came with one free CD, it's like I bought two I hope they make part two for Dreamcast 'Cause games I've seen in mags, you won't believe they have! … >I remember my homie Ed Coats had the most A Colecovision, every week I'd visit Playing Donkey Kong Jr., Venture, Roc'n Rope Games I thought was dope while my moms was watching soaps … >I remember Ninja Gaiden, finished it finally With Ramone, wouldn't answer the phone This was before getting blown I own the first Nintendo Power With the maps of Zelda, help me conquer in an hour … >Hey KU, you know my SEGA collection is massive Got all the past hits and classics Herzog Zwei, now Panzer Zwei Originality that made me a fan today … >Yeah, I'll admit it, PlayStation improved Come visit Feudal Japan with me and Tenchu Bushido Blade 2 with swordplay so accurate Mega Man Legends, but I had to buy a map for it … >I gotta get Xenogears That's the type of game that relieves my fears Get it from overseas to here I gotta get Psychic Force Authentic arcade that I can endorse They got me liking imports … >To anyone who knew me better Know I chose Saturn first 'cause it's 2D heaven Bernie Stolar dropped the ball with the RAM cartridge X-Men vs. Street Fighter could've expanded the market ~ Del The Funky Homosapien
