[@zman1064]

That Drake cameo aged CRAZY 😬😬😬

[@SourceBrother]

the zeezed man

[@TahniZCat2]

He done said ". . . We out here for the KIDS, this is a FAMILY event! " 😭😭😭

[@abon010]

Yeah holy shit you can't make it up 😂

[@OffTheHenny]

Tyler and gambino in regular show is one of my personal favorite collaborations between 2 rappers and they didn’t even do song 💀

[@sumboy6183]

Damn never knew that was they 2 I loved that episode it's 1 of the only episode that still live kinda rent free in my head

[@maryannappiagyei4277]

And mc lyte same episode.

[@FormalFilmsProductions]

Same

[@JessicaSmith-n7j]

I didnt know who they were as a kid vut i remember always rewinding the rap scenes and loving them now i listen to tyler all the time

[@The_x35]

"I already told him, we're out here for the kids" - Drake

[@Cdr2002]

Aging perfectly lmao

[@PumpkinNoise]

Yup thats him! Drake literally made it too easy for him to be "exposed" because he literally exposed himself by kissing a 16 year old!

[@prettypleasewitha]

vaudeville villain pfp

[@themoviecritic1092]

😭😭😭

[@suppe3181]

i wrote a essay on vaudville villain mostly on let me watch

[@CtrlAltRestore]

19:31 'Ay lebron keep the family away" 💀

[@Maximus-tg1ee]

that scene got me 😭

[@MouseyTheGiantMouse-pj5kv]

“We was doing this for the kids” *THAT AGED TOO FUCKING HORRIBLY*

[@ElVikzzz]

why does Jay-Z voice sounds like its AI generated 😭😭

[@misterfazbear1987]

He was too busy at the Diddy parties to actually go to the recording booth.

[@bonkofdoom22]

the thing is MF DOOM isn't a fan favorite (he is) but your just really good at covering him

[@neekopat]

not the exact same but Nujabes and the RZA producing for the OSTs of Samurai Champloo and Afro Samurai respectively should definitely be mentioned

[@mons1117]

nujabes didnt produce the ost, he produced maybe a quarter of it if even that, most of the work was done by force of nature, tsutchie and fat jon

[@neekopat]

@@mons1117 Good catch, I didn't realize how little his contributions were overall.

[@quincy9908]

Also, Denzel Curry in Carol & Tuesday as well (there are other artist in there, but I'm not sure if they Hiphop tho)

[@TheRealM6GL]

18:33 of course drake was out there for the kids

[@De_Lyux]

That didn't age well at all😭🙏

[@craig205]

Craig of the Creek also had del the funky homosapien appear twice as Deltron.

[@quincy9908]

And Snoop Dogg

[@MrMegaManFan]

You're missing a whole bunch from Boondocks. Flonominal was Busta Rhymes. Sway Calloway plays himself. (Yes he was a rapper from the group Sway & King Tech before he became MTV famous.) Xzibit pimped their ride. Reverend Rollo was Cee-Lo. I know there's more.

[@jesseyclarke8253]

I was thinking this also

[@sugma2786]

was about to mention busta

[@De_Lyux]

18:34 "we're out here for the kids" that didn't age all that well...

[@skabzemortal]

Brooo

[@GoopRoppongi]

18:42 No ghostwriters how he gonna freestyle?

[@Hachiko-888]

Kagura Pfp🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@GoopRoppongi]

@@Hachiko-888 YAAAAAY

[@thetotallyokstudios]

5:26 nah not 50 cent wearing a bullet proof vest 💀😭

[@bobthebuilder8110]

From what I can recall, some that you had missing are: - SO MANY MORE from the Boondocks, I'm telling you, its basically has hip hop as a pillar of the show - Not sure if movies for cartoons count but Lil Yatchy in the Teen Titans Go movie - MC Hammer having his own cartoon show. Kid n Play also had a short lived one too - Trae the Truth and Rick Ross were on the cartoon show on Trae's KZbin channel - Eminem had his own cartoon show also Oh yeah, and for some reason Offset and Cardi B were on the *Baby Shark Show* idek why thats real

[@NiazRaki]

Del Tha Funkee Homosapien is the only artist I've found that has released regular cartoon raps with his Oakland crew. That is, they rap over cartoons in sync. These are existing cartoons. Sick tight style

[@idna832]

Also gotta mention that Open Mike Eagle was in the episode Son of Rap Bear and De La Soul in Teen Titans Go

[@cartman4204]

Just listened to the athf song from MF DOOM that was absolutely amazing!!

[@deadz001]

That Bully theme song in the background brings back a lot of memories. Love the video.

[@Mello_Gelo]

18:36 hol up that don't sound right

[@De_Lyux]

That didn't age well at all...

[@Amugsin]

11:37 Vsauce moment

[@GoopRoppongi]

or is it

[@cobil8288]

15:05 Tyler did the same too with his show with lionel “the jellies” He’d appear as a cameo and would compose and write for it

[@TSDthesuperderp]

Can I watch? Is an amazing background song, I’ve never realized it until now. It’s instantly recognizable, but mostly unknown. Love the video, I like the deep dive of my 2 most impactful interests interacting.

[@pressed0n615]

Bruhh, I only discovered my love for Andre3000’s music in the recent year or two, and when I was a kid a had no clue that I was enjoying his work. Full circle

[@LeadMuffinGameing]

Knowing that Niki Minaj voiced Sugilite feels like cursed knowledge.

[@ONGtv]

Busta Rhymes Is In The Boondocks Too.. that how u know I can’t this video Seriously 🤦🏾

[@AnAbsurdExistence]

haha, chill. it’s not that serious it’s just a video about cartoons, i’ll mention those who i missed in a follow up

[@They_luv_spec]

18:21 ofc he’s there for the kids

[@HorseJoint]

That Thumbnail goes TOO hard

[@sebastianraducu7850]

13:11 also rick and morty appear on the opening skit for bobby tarantino 2 of logic. worth a mention.

[@AnAbsurdExistence]

thanks for sharing

[@THE_MOONMAN]

Logic cameo on rick and morty still cracks me up cause its so random yet relatable. Funny he actually appeared for it too

[@bruceleeds7988]

And NOT ONE SINGLE MENTION Of Eminem's own animated show, but he is the goat 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jumpropemf]

It’s good you’re diversifying your content while still talking about hip hop

[@QueenEdyn]

man, snoop doing so many side quests that you didn't even list all his voice acting in fear he would take over the video

[@Metomaro]

love the bully soundtrack in the background, appreciate it

[@deadypendergrass3435]

You forgot to mention Busta Rhymes in Thugnificent crew.

[@andynachos2045]

The Tyler the creator regular show episode will forever be the episode of all time

[@123theprodigy5]

Man, I don’t know how they did it, but the boondocks almost had every rapper. It was great seeing rappers such as Snoop Dogg, exhibit, and Busta Rhymes on there.

[@Alterbrap]

Now we need a part 2 so you can talk about Snoop Dogg being in Nickelodeon’s Sanjay and Craig and him being a major character that was marketed so heavy that Nick showed videos of him in the studio during commercial breaks.

[@Hitmartz]

Busta rhymes was in the boondocks too

[@chrishanes-g7q]

came to say this fam

[@BlackBloodCombatClub]

And Space Ghost Coast to Coast

[@siqki]

8:16 tf bro?

[@LinkPemonade]

Using Can I Watch? Off the bat is such a W

[@d2domm2mike60]

I know she’s not a rapper, but Estelle actually voices garnett in steven universe. also of course drake is giving his number to a teenager

[@povdylan1021]

Ceelo greens weirdest cameo is in teen titans go, still can’t believe it’s real

[@GameFreak64101]

You should make part 2 Some examples I know are: Going off of Snoop Dog's many side quest in cartoons, a lot of them are Adult Cartoons. I do know he was in a kids cartoon, Sanjay and Craig. I know nothing about the show other than he was there and I'm surprised Nickelodeon greenlit him making an appearance Method Man and Redman were in a Fairly Odd Parents special. While they didn't play any characters, they did the singing vocals for the Pixies for their song in an America's Got Talent Parody or something like that for the special I'm surprised you didn't mention Busta Rhymes being in Boondocks as part of the Lethal Interjection crew Lastly, while not playing a character, Ghostface Killah did and sang the theme song for Skunk Fu, at least over in the U.K.

[@kaidenstyles3004]

Stoners love cartoons, snoop KNOW what he doin fr

[@RapsandRiffs]

My fav cartoon on adult swim was a short film called “freaknik” with t pain playing the ghost of freaknik, dj drama, cee lo, Rick Ross, so many

[@SamTheMan666]

I was first introduced to Andre 3000 through animation, the cherry on top was when I was discovered he made music.

[@UpcycleShoesKai]

Boondocks introduced me to mf doom

[@themoviecritic1092]

I love Logic's cameo in Rick and Morty bruh

[@bugshlapper3068]

The weeknd in american dad performing one of his best tracks i know he’s not a rapper but it’s such a good cameo it’s hard not to mention

[@tymon6059]

you should make a video about rappers making appearances on irl television shows next

[@AnAbsurdExistence]

thanks for the suggestion

[@goofygoober-n7o]

why did the simpsons make pharrells hat look like a nutsack

[@abyssyt2256]

Dope ass thumbnail. Props to whoever made it!

[@Travozx]

at 2:08 it sounds like rapp snitches knishes is playing in the back ground

[@12DAMDO]

i got a few things to say, but i don't want to make multiple comments, so i'm gonna put it all in this one: 1. the fact that Ye still don't get the joke makes the joke even funnier to me 2. aside from Nikki in Steven Universe, Estelle is also in there as the voice of Garnet (she's more R&B leaning tho, but she has some Hip Hop tracks) and Deedee Magno Hall as the voice of Pearl, who was a member of The Party (which isn't a Hip Hop group persay, but she did rap in The Party - L.A.) 3. the clips you chose for Drake in The LeBrons did not age well

[@MarvinTheMartian925]

Class of 3000 had an online game called funkbox which introduced me to music production at like age 8

[@Matasuh]

Ceelo Green also appeared on Boondocks, there's a lot of rappers that appear in the boondocks not mentioned in the video

[@BurgeyMang]

A bunch of rappers are in the new Pharrell Lego movie too.

[@CallEmOut-b]

Ngl I didn't know homie was still posting

[@DCTheComic]

I feel like Pharrell Williams isn't a person, just a collection of soundbytes

[@thellyeah]

Don't forget Nujabes on the Samurai Champloo soundtrack, the goat!

[@Doog_Tootin]

The reason the American Dad episode ended like that was because Seth Macfarlane thought that was going to be the last episode of American Dad so he thought it would be funny to just kill Stan.
