10 Hip-Hop Songs That Reference Popular Video Games

3. Bobby Creekwater - There He Is (2006)

Bobby Creekwater is parallel to Young Zee in many ways: a truly great rapper who featured on Shady Records tracks but never had the chance to release a full album. Mainstream media attention really turned onto Bobby Creek because of his contributions to Eminem Presents The Re-Up, including There He Is.

"Couple n***** hatin' on him but the fans waitin' on him,

Like a PlayStation 3, money for your advance,

My vacation fee, ain't no use in hatin' me n*****,

And don't ****-talk pimp, I'd rather flush,

Anyone with big enough nuts to come and **** with us."

This was the year of Sony's E3 which included such highlights as the giant enemy crab, Riiiidge Racer! and $599 US dollars. The line from Creekwater was so relevant and on-point, paralelling his own career with the PlayStation 3's then-shredded reputation.

The message was clear: good things'll come to those who wait.
