Mortal Kombat References in Hip Hop (or any genre)

[I GOT HANDS]

Nothing get's me more hyped than hearing one of my favourite rapper drop a line about one of my favourite MK characters. Even more so when I first hear it while actually playing Mortal Kombat


here's some examples

2:13

You don't want me to black-belt-to-death you
Karate chop your pops, Liu-Kang-Kick ya nephew


Complete with dope ass Liu Kang yell adlib afterwards. He goes on to make some Street Fighter punches too

0:14

Black shades, Johnny Cage, diamonds go parade
Motorola in the kitchen, whippin' Sonya, My plug look like Pacquiao, his daughter is Kitana"


That's the damn chorus so props to Migos for making this... song ?

7:21

Black obi, shinobi hittin' Ken-Oh [Kano] in the face with all my throwin' knives
Sub-Zero guiding [Gaiden], hiding [Haiden], riding [Raiden] in the pack as well


This is one is fuckin sick. I was playing MKX at the time and Quitality'd just to run that shit back






Anyone got any others? Love this shit



apologies if this is the wrong forum sub, seems like the best place for it tho

"No pain, no gain, I blow brains, Cobain
Throw flames, Liu Kang, the coach ain't help out, so I call my own shots
I'm David Blaine, I'm breakin' out of my own box, you stay the same" J. Cole, Sideline Story.

This thread is probably the best I've seen on TYM. Here's a lyric drop referencing Raiden from Method Man & Redman

Redman's first verse.

"Bustin' off two MACs, I'm like "I'm hit"!!!
I'm just playin, I clear the crowd out
Like a peppa' can sprayin'
I throw lightin' out the arms Raiden!"

Sweeeet. Yeah, this is the only one I knew off the top of my head. I tend to listen to a lot of Rock music, but I enjoy Redman and Method Man a lot. I'll be keeping a close ear to music now for subtle references. Lol.

Dey Know remix, in the Lil Wayne verse

"Feet hanging out the window jock my shoe game
'cause all my kicks fly like liu kang"

not rap and way more than a reference but i think its the most hilarious mk song i ever heard

 

[I GOT HANDS]

Nice work guys. I might start editing this into the OP in a sec

 

[QXD]

[JS1]

Cool thread guys

 

[smokey]

English DNB producer called Raiden ha

 

[ZeZe]

It's MK focused, but after I stumbled upon it I couldn't shake it off for few weeks. Bit is good and lyrics are hilarious. So I'll just leave it in here:

 

[NKZero]

Big Pun - Beware (Capital Punishment album)
"Flawless victory and niggas can't do shit to me
Physically, lyrically, hypothetically, realistically"

 

[TrulyAmiracle]

Also, Tyga uses the old "Well done" and "Finish him" in his early albums, the voice clips play randomly in a lot of the songs in them.

 

[Mortal Komhat]

Danny Brown namedrops Kano in relation to his fatality in his portion of Busdriver's Ego Death.

 

[getoverhere--->]

J. Cole - Get Away
''The flow insane, plus I got that flame throw, that Liu Kang''

Bone Thugs N Harmony feat. Maje$Ty - 7 Sign
''Nigga jump for cheese, catch Sub Zero freeze '' ..lol

 

[aieches]

if youre into or understand battle rap .. this was great

 

[Solo]

Fetty Wap - No Dayz Off - " Yeah, I'm karate kicking like I'm Liu Kang"

Kirko Bangz - What Yo Name Iz - " I swear to god I tell that ***** get up over here, Like I am Scorpion, No Mortal Kombat"

 

[EMPR_MURK]
