Hilariously, hip hop legend Method Man turns up in episode 12 being robbed in a convenience store when Luke Cage breaks it up. The pair share a moment - two Harlem legends acknowledging each other, before Meth gives Cage his jacket to help him escape.

Meth turns up again on a radio show presented by rapper Sway, talking about how great it is to see a bullet proof black man. He also spits a rap about Power Man that mentions Iron Man and "Heroes For Hire" again.

The Delfonics also appear in episode 9 after they're name-checked by Diamondback before that.

Interestingly, Quentin Tarantino was once in line to make a Power Man/Luke Cage movie, but it fell through well before Marvel owned the rights once more. He's a big fan of the Delfonics too, having featured them heavily in Jackie Brown.
