examples of rappers lovin will ferrell

kind of spun off from whiney's cool thread idea from a couple years back: 200 Rap Songs That Reference "Saturday Night Live"

except it seems to be mostly WF's movies more than his SNL skits so i figure it could be it's own thread

3. Upcoming Projects
In late 2008 Alchemist announced two upcoming group projects. Gangrene is his Jaylib inspired project with Madlib's brother, Oh No. The album was completed in late 2008 and will be released sometime after Alchemist's Chemical Warfare album. Like Jaylib's Champion Sound, Gangrene will feature Alchemist rapping over Oh No's production and vice versa.[6]
He has also announced plans to release an album with Evidence in 2009 as the Stepbrothers. The name was inspired by the movie featuring their favorite comedians Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, which also happened to feature the Dilated Peoples' song Live On Stage, which was produced by The Alchemist.[7]

also there's a skit on Alchemist's new album where they reference the "more cowbell" skit, although i guess since they're quoting the Walken parts it's not really a Will Ferrell reference per se

all-time classic crossposted from 77 mixtapedia:

4. Mobb Deep discussing movie trailers with R.A. The Rugged Man in a 2004 issue of VIBE:

Anchorman
Prodigy: This nigga retarded, son.
Havoc: Will Ferrell - that's my dog right there.
P: Hell, yeah, he's like the new Chevy Chase.
H: Right, exactly, but funnier. I'll definitely go check that.
P: Word. Get doped up and go laugh real quick. Word. Plus, he smacked her on the ass and said, "I like that fatty!"
H: Yeah, he said fatty, son. Thumbs up!

5. Lil Wayne on Busta's "Throw It Up"

Well fuck 'em fuck 'em fuck 'em, and they cannot stop me
So I will be drivin like Ricky Bobby

this mixtape cover has brought me more lols than the actual movie

6. I'm sure when Andre 3000 signed on to co-star in Semi-Pro, someone had pitched it as a Will Ferrell movie

"there must be two sides"

^________________________________^

Step Brothers is the funniest Will Ferrell movie imo

omg

i'd put it behind Anchorman but word definitely one of his best

shawty lo in a sweater vest may still beat it, though

7. haha holy shit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdT3t57HfyA

H: Yeah, he said fatty, son. Thumbs up!

8. "call me the screen or the swine fixer/ it's going down like the Catalina Wine Mixer"

-Lil Wayne, "Wasted" freestyle

9.

Decatur's Ron Burgundy/The hood Anchorman, I see the struggle and I paint it, man.

Playboy Tre - "Liquor Store Mascot"

10.

g-side/huntsville int'l project - "this is life"

Bitch i piss excellence/rap game rookies be the dope game veterans

11.

"I race for your love, shake'n'bake, Ricky Bobby"

-Drake on Young Money's "Bed Rock"

i heard a zoolander one recently, but that's more Stiller than Ferrell

yelawolf does this like twice in one song, lemme find it

i have to be the hardest
i got diamond nuts
i piss excellence
ricky bobby lines em up

we might have to start disqualifying Talldega Nights on this ish.

i keep thinking about how if my first encounter with "Do The Ricky Bobby" was that it was a deleted scene from the actual movie, i'd probably believe them

just because it's so much more plausible as a running joke in the movie than a real hit song

"I show love to the hood, I'm not here to reap the glory / like Will Ferrell appearing in his friend Luke Wilson's little-seen directorial debut, "The Wendell Baker Story."

7/10

meter fail.

yelawolf calls himself "ricky bobby" in like every other song

waitin for "bewitched" / bitch couplet tbh xp

close-caption flow, i'm a rappin' picasso
will ferrell crossed with lupe fiasco
― Starlito - "Paranormal Activity" [ISLY: Live from the Back of Class, the internets, 2010]

not sure will ferrel + lupe fiasco would = rappin picasso

he dares dream the dream

the lines don't even sound like they're supposed to connect, he just drawls them out one after the other. really digging the tape right now.

yeah that tape is nice

will ferrell + lupe fiasco = kanye west

"A-Trak is a part of our whole scene. He plays everything across the board. He just loves music. I know he introduced Kanye to a lot of things, one thing in particular was the movie Anchorman (laughs). And now Kayne quotes the movie in his songs all the time and you can hear it."

i cant imagine how annoying that must be

kanye going around quoting 'anchorman' 4 years after the fact

I don't think anyone should want to take credit for 'introducing' Kanye to Anchorman, I mean he was quoting shit like Happy Gilmore well before that anyway. Kanye is like a walking Snorg shirt.

http://edge-img.datpiff.com/m2ffe3b5/Eminem_Royce_Da_59_Step_Brothers-front-large.jpg

yeah but this is maybe the funniest mixtape cover of all time

http://edge-img.datpiff.com/m5352a26/TI_Shawty_Lo_Step_Brothers-front-large.jpg

the tagline fucking kills me

what part do you think The Empire is playing, Adam Scott?

i wish a mixtape dj would start using "IT'S THE FUCKING CATALINA WINE MIXER" as a drop

Back in the arena's mess hall, Tim and Timberlake scrape their plates clean. Then Tim retires to his dressing room to prepare for his performance, which consists of cameos during Timberlake's show plus a DJ set of his own during intermission. His mind still on last night's recording session, Tim raps a 50 verse from the track they've been working on. The next moment, he's shrieking Jennifer Hudson's showstopper from Dreamgirls: ''AND I AM TELLING YOU! I'm not going!'' That's when the door swings open. Enter Timberlake. ''See ya out there, big boy!'' says the superstar.

''Shake and bake!'' comes Tim's reply. (The best friends often refer to each other, interchangeably, as Talladega Nights' Ricky Bobby and Cal Naughton Jr.)

from this http://www.spin.com/articles/kanye-and-jay-z-debut-epic-reflective-album

Other telling details: a Phil Manzanera sample (from the Roxy Music guitarist's 1978 art-rock solo album K-Scope) on "No Church In The Wild"; Jay-Z quoting Waka Flocka Flame's "Bustin' At Em"; Beyonce's glorious hook on "Lift Off"; a hilarious clip from the Will Ferrell ice-skating comedy Blades Of Glory; and an unabashedly aggressive dubstep beat-drop in "Who's Gon Stop Me."

god i'm such a herb i know for a fact jay sucks now and kanye just irritates me as a producer and rapper...yet i'm letting a positive preview in spin get me all excited

this thread is probably missing a ton of recent examples but the 2 Chainz EP has a sample from Step Brothers

i apologize in advance for inflicting this on ilm in the name of thread completism
