Star Wars It premiered in 1977 and the rapper has been referring to it ever since. From Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Journey to Darth Vader’s villain Ark, far away, the Galaxy has influenced decades of hip-hop references. What’s more, the connection brought the childish Gambino, aka Donald Glover, and played Rand Carissian. Solo: The Story of Star Wars Rizzo joined something like Jack Black in The Mandalorian.
Whatever the reason, artists and creators like Eminem, Jay-Z, Big Sean and Tyler have tapped into George Lucas’ universe many times. See the 14 rap lyrics referenced below Star Wars.
1. Pink toes by I.ChildishGambino: She’s on my back about it (C-3PO, C-3PO, C-3PO)
in Star Wars: The Empire fights backChewbacca is the famous one who carried a C-3po to his back while fleeing the Imperial Army of Cloud City. Childish Gambino cleverly uses that iconic image as a shorthand for relationships, suggesting that his partner’s nagging feels literally pulling her complaints. It’s certainly not the first of a rapper and actor Star Wars References, I nodded to Greed in the 2009 “Stand.”
2. Hypnotize by the infamous Big: hit with the power of Obi’s
Perhaps the inspiration behind the mashup album Life after the planet of deaththe infamous Big took a break from his Bragadosie rap for a brief Jedi moment in “hypnosis.” In the classic hit, he compared his lyrical dominance to Obi-Wan Kenobi’s mind control skills, proving that even Big Gie can’t resist referencing far away galaxies.
3. Interesting paper by Mac Miller: Ah, s**t, icebreaker coming/It’s dangerous for him to bring a lightsaber
Mac Miller began his final poem on the fan favorite “funny paper” by drawing out the Jedi iconic weapon Lightsaber. Given the personality of the Philadelphia rapper, it’s not difficult to imagine him wielding a less traditional blade. Clonal Attack. In any case, Miller’s love Star Wars It was well documented (“What You Do Do”, “Mackin’Ai n’t Easy”, “In the Morning” lacks references).
4. X-Wing by DenzelCurry: If you want it to be taller than b**ch, upgrade to Skywalker
Disney+’s “The Mandalorian” season 2 finale gave way to two iconic moments. The return of Luke Skywalker and the inspiration behind Denzel Curry’s “X-wing.” The Florida rapper, named after the iconic starfighter of the Rebel Alliance, explained his excitement Wired: “X-wing appears. It’s like “X-Wing? Great!” And I said, “Wait a second. So you’ll see someone with an in-body hoodie.” He continued, “Then you looked at the gloves and a green lightsaber, and it was like, ‘They did it – T!OH S**T!”
5. Wake up wide by Eminem: I’ll jump out to you now like I was a Java in f**kin’ Star Wars/Jabba.
Only Eminem was able to take two of Star Wars’ strange creatures – Hawa and the grotesque Java hat – and use them as a hilarious and threatening punchline at the same time. The legend of Detroit has been fascinated by the dark side of the franchise back many years as his Darth Vader nods in “Rain Man,” but in 2024 “Toby” he reded Princess Leia and Obi-Wan’s name, and Obi-Wan’s name.
6. there is no time! Creator Tyler: My pocket looks like a thick Yoda/With Skywalker, round sunlight/Anakinskin sprite, and my tint of cola, so a strange walk
Tyler, creators probably rap like someone who spent their childhood afternoons building LEGOs Star Wars boat. Comparing his wallet to “fat Yoda” may be the weirdest flex ever recorded but comes from the rapper behind Cherry bomb Also, a few other internet age classics feel strangely appropriate.
7. Changing clothes by Jay Z: Let’s Breathe, Jedi Knight/Get more space than I write
In “Change Withes,” Jay-Z refined their skills by comparing his creative process to the Jedi Knight. Just as Luke Skywalker, a native of New York, retreated to Dagoba and hid Yoda, his lyrical pen suggested that he grew stronger with distance. Of course, that’s a bit ironic from a rapper known for never writing down his rhymes.
8. Star Truck by Big Shawn: “b**ch, I’m fully empowering, Skywalker/You, you’re slimy, I’m your father
Big Shawn tips one of the cinema’s biggest releases – Darth Vader’s “I’m Your Father” moment The Empire fights back – To his “warm” rival jab. “Starstruck” hasn’t been widely praised as many of his later hits, but Detroit MC’s cheekiness definitely helped the punchline stick, even if Vader might think it was a bit cheesy.
9. Happy Valentine’s Day By Outkast: You bump into Han Solo ‘Til’ Til ‘Till hike bullet.
Valentine’s Day came early (or later by when you heard it) with Outkast’s vast double album Speakerboxxx/Love below. On the second disc’s standout “Happy Valentine’s Day,” Andre 3000 compared it to Han Solo, perhaps the most charismatic character in Star Wars Galaxy, before dropping the series “Force the Force Can Be With You.”
10. Lightyearby Logic: Rollie Gold like c-3po, and I’m busting like R2/It’s a cod level, I’m going through everything, now you’re
The logic has changed Star Wars“The most beloved droid duo has now become watch flex with Lightyear. The rapper Rolex shines like a C-3PO metallic casing, but he himself packs as much energy as the R2-D2. Of course, he also decided to close the bar with the Call of Duty Reference.
11. Used by SZA featuring DonToliver: n **Love to break my focus.
One of the more underrated gems in “Used” sosSZA channels Obi-Wan Kenobi’s unwavering calm. spiritually, she far outweighs the distraction, just like the way the legendary Jedi mentor was separated from both Anakin and Luke Skywalker. And if you doubt your SZA rap credentials, revisit the album title track and “Smoking On My Ex Pack.”
12. Reach out to TalibKweli: Smell the musk at dusk and cracks at dawn/pass the episode like a clone attack
See Talib Kweli’s classic “Get by” Clonal Attack – Literally the second episode Star Wars SAGA – to symbolize the repetitive struggles of life. Looking back, the bar in Kuweli is very well aged, as the film is widely considered to be the weakest sequel to the saga.
13. Hellz Wind Staff by Wu-Tang Clan: A deadly weapon, walk through your section/step with the power of Luke Skywalker
Wu-Tang Clan’s early discography was a hotbed of pop culture Easter eggs, but Inspectah Deck’s Luke Skywalker line on “Hellz Wind Staff” is less groundbreaking than others in the group’s extensive catalogue. Snapped between references to Method Man and RZA’s George Bush and Johnny Unitas, it only goes to show it even in lukewarm water Star Wars The metaphor is not the case at all.
14. Earl sweatshirt boobs featuring creator Tyler: Ha, Vagabond, Flannel Thongs have had it since Padawan/Wrapping Hot
A strange future, like many of us who grew up listening to hip-hop groups, it’s clearly loved. Star Wars. In “Oops,” Earl sweatshirt compares himself to a Padawan, or a Jedi apprentice, implying that he is the hottest rapper, even when he first started.
