References to Ireland/Irish people in Rap Music

ubu

Just thought I'd throw this up, theres a few songs where theres a reference to Ireland I've heard, does anybody know any more? im sure there is

Jay-Z on I Just Wanna Love You:
"Bubblin' in Dublin"

Jedi Mind Tricks on Blood Reign:
"Servin' sucka MC's a fifth of the drunken stylin'
Rippin' M-I-C's like a pub in Dublin, Ireland

NaS on Shootouts:
"I heard she brag about the way he eat her
A Irish man short slim with a tan, they say he laced her cheeba"

Chali 2na on the DJ Format song We Know Something:
"The hell masks that glamour and glitz can sell cats
And through the foul trash absorb the shell blast
Like I was the most bombed hotel in Belfast! BOOM!"

On one of Immortal Techniques' freestyles he has something like this line:
"Murdering cowards in their sleep like the IRA"

At the end of Masta Ace - Disposable Arts, when he's getting out of prision, the gaurd he's talking to has a northern irish accent!

At the start of Handsome Boy Modelling Schools' So...hows your girl? the intro is an Irish guy talking

Cannibal Ox

Rah Digga, Down for the Count, on Reflection Eternal
"Gettin more green than that nigga St. Patrick"

If that counts, C Rayz does some references to Guinness on Year of the Beast.

Corholio

On Eminem's diss to Everlast "I Remember"

" Like you was mad that someone else was
White and tried to rhyme or somethin
I'm sorry man, I wasn't tryin to steal your light or nothin
But you're a homosexual, white rappin Irish (Muslim)
Man I wish I was Irish, I could be a (Muslim) too
Then I'd be confused as you, and I wouldn't know what to do "

"Sittin in the crib, sippin Guinness watchin Menace then oh god....." 50 Cent


"Where John Lennon was shot up, but he sang for peace
He begged for freedom, hanged wit wild Jamicians
From Kingston, who drink Irish Moss
Listenin to Peter Winston, Machintosh" Nas, Thiefs Theme



"So **** Youghal, all Youghal
If Youghal dont like me, blow me" Dr Dre, reffering to the notorious incident when NWA were bottled off stage during their 1989 gig at Youghal GAA pitch in Cork
Dre never forgot or forgave.......;)

Abdominal mentions guinness in 3 feet deep.
Also, the house of pain may have mentioned ireland once or twice, i'm not sure though

Corholio

Ya good shout about House of Pain, thought that might have been bit too obvious so didnt post any earlier but heres one :

On Point by House of Pain

" Back in the day there were Irish ways
and Irish laws that stood up for the cause "

Orizio

Without a sound , snatched my Guinness off the ground
Rose up, gave him a pound and I told homie hold it down

-AZ on Never Change.

Titanium stomach devouring Guinness

-Silkworm on Holocaust.

and since my mama, I been ****ing with marijuana
wavy-haired, my skin got a money getting glare
strictly menace wear, macking offa Guinness beer
so where it all begins is here

-AZ on Rather Unique.

ubu

aye, AZ mentions Guinness a few times alright, Dead Prez mention it on Happiness aswell:

"It be days like these, that make life so much easier
Fish thawin’ out, Guinness stout in the freezer"

I think the Jay Z line is "Bubiling in Dublin's" refering to the trendy Irish bar Dublin's Either way I suppose its still an Irish reference.

Executive Steve

in a chester p [i think] tune.... called "in my ends" can't quite remember how it starts off but it's something like:

"...the irish were the only one's happy to be our landlords

cos they were the blacks before us,

so raise a glass to the emerald isle when i sing my chorus"

clio_16v

I'm almost sure some rapper says "Dún do Bhéil" on some album i have at home... I must check when i go home to see who it is....
