10 Hip-Hop Songs That Reference Popular Video Games

4. Obie Trice - Outro (2003)

This example isn't actually Obie Trice's line: the Outro track instead features Trice and most of D12 (minus Kon Artis) over a song that is longer and better than the title 'Outro' suggests.

Swifty McVay raps:

"I got heat that'll sweep a n****'* street,

See I wouldn't **** with me neither,

Only heaven can help ya,

I'll be searching for you longer than The Legend of Zelda."

A clever reference that arguably refers to both the longevity of the series (at the time of this track, the Zelda series was 17 years old) and the fact that Zelda titles can take a fair amount of time to beat.

Although not always for the best reasons - looking at you Wind Waker! Thankfully Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild gave us Zelda games that actually lasted a long time because of decent content, not just padding.
