1. Mike Scott
Mike Scott may not be a premiere name in NBA terms, but his recent arrest for charges such as possession of over 10 grams of MDMA after evading police at almost 100 mph surely warrants him receiving a name-drop on wax by the end of the summer.
“Moving bricks out the spot/Got more weight on the scale than Mike Scott”
2. Bitcoin
Display of wealth can be an intricate element for certain spheres of hip-hop, but imagine if YG spit about his Bitcoin wallet instead of his Bank of America account on “Who Do You Love?”
“My Bitcoin wallet got three figures”
3. Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Comparisons to NBA and NFL players are rightfully everywhere when it comes to American hip-hop, but it couldn’t hurt to reference the brashest athlete of any sport on the globe (see: threatening to break his teammate’s limbs).
“Call me the Zlatan don”
4. Twin Peaks
With the ‘90s cult classic experiencing a cultural revival due to its forthcoming third season helmed by David Lynch, it seems like the perfect time for one of the ‘90s-era Memphis influenced rappers of late to cross over the two pinnacles of late 20th century art.
“Caught up in a dark dream/Paranoia creepin’, owls aren’t what they seem”
5. Trailer Park Boys
Never mind, we’ll go ahead and assume TDE’s Jay Rock is using his moniker to pay tribute to the one and only J-Roc of the greasiest trailer park in Canada. That’s good enough for us.
“Poppin’ champagne with more Bubbles than the Trailer Park”
